Sure there are a hundred one trick pony tactics you can use to evade, as many "don't do that" mantra's alive and thriving in EVE but at the end of the day I am reminded of how CCP have shown an eager willingness to coddle free to play dust bunnies but paying Industrials in EVE? You are goon food, go fuckyourself. Nothing against hi sec ganking. But calling it "the only PvP left for hi sec" sounds like someone is as carebear at refusing to go PvP in low / 0.0 sec as those hi seccers they want to kill. Nobody pays you to stay in hi sec, if you find it too restrictive to pew pew in there. Finally, I think CCP should review the lock times. Like nano-extreme brought a nerf, like super unscannable ships got nerfed, CCP should also make lock times limited to a minimum of 1 simulation heartbeat plus about 100ms for out of UK players.
Maybe slap some debilitatingly long lock time penalty on cargo scanners with immunity to sensor boosting if the module is online? I like the idea of being able to cargo scan but putting a gank extraordinaire ship into the game without making it harder to overall to balance things out is silly.

I don't think this is as big an issue as the OP thinks. Turn automatic lockback on. You aren't seeing the scans in the chaos of Jita.
Indeed. I see 2-3 scanner spamming frigates in Jita every time I'm there.

You just have to be a less worthwhile target than the freighter next to you.
Having a same-corp alt to give you webs helps a lot too, but for some reason every time I show in Empire CONCORD decides that, no, the week I spent shooting Sansha rats in Stain doesn't count after all and they still hate me.
You forgot to hit the spray and pay. That's dodging video game popo 101

It is pretty funny to watch people flip **** and mash warp to as soon as the beeping starts

Except two wrongs don't make a right.
In most circumstances, no they don't. But as he said, CCP drags their ass like every MMO company when it comes to bots and the longer they are left alone the more damage they do and the more people start to use them. Now if they had a time limit on npc corps that forced botters to make a war decable corp then it would be easy peasy to kill them but as it stands there isn't much that can be done except for concord workarounds.
