How to avoid Gankers.

Why try and avoid the problem, and block the person so you can continue to fly your paper airplane in open?
How about doing some engineering, research and getting an inside look on how these Griefers operate?
All it takes is some time and effort, but before long you won't have to worry about getting ganked in open at all. It's really easy.
Whats that old saying? An eye for an eye leads to a nation of blind men? How about Blocking every "shady" CMDR you see leads to empty instances and basically solo play in open.
I am actually in the process of starting a new noob friendly series on my youtube channel, giving people a inside look at PvP, Ganking, Engineering and ship builds. This is one of the topics that I will be bringing up.

Generally I agree with you, but I can also see the pov of people who don't want to play competitive, but relaxing. I know, I was one of them once, too.
But then it's best to use Mobius etc. and don't be afraid of "ganker scare in PG". I never understood why I should play open+block instead of PG.

I used to be an adventurer like you, till I took a rail to the knee...
I understand your position, and quite frankly I do sympathize with the more "Relaxed" players. However all it takes is a bit of knowledge and some engineering in order to escape a gank. You don't need a total min/maxed war machine, but it helps when you are flying something that isn't made out of wet cardboard in Open.
To the people who can only play a few hours at a time, either devote one evening of playtime a week to engineering (It doesn't have to be much but over time it will make a huge difference) and it will change your whole Elite experience. Till then, stay in PG or Solo. Blocking is not going to solve your issue.
Oh hells yes
Because the chance of meeting someone in Mobius is just as high as playing solo or maybe a bit higher.
I understand the OP's problem: he wants to meet other people, but not gankers. He just refuses to accept that people that think like him are just a minority and are already either in solo (because they don't want to meet anyone) or in private groups, where they again don't meet anyone. 
Mobius feels nearly as empty as solo. I haven’t seen another player in there in months (I don’t frequent hotspots). Plus, since we know that most folks in Open don’t PvP, it’s a better solution to just block the few that shoot at me and move on.Given the nature of people this is an unrealistic expectation for 'Open' and is the reason the private group Mobius has enjoyed such success.
Just go looking for them...

Speaking for myself, i have neither the time nor the inclination to be bothered about dealing with gankers or griefers in game. The game provides various options to deal with them without playing their game.

Every post takes on a life of it's own.
That's never stopped anyone.
I got all the way to the end of that string of nested spoilers and didn't even get a lousy t-shirt.
ROFLMAO have fun in cheat land. I save my pvp for games where the devs make an honest effort at balance.
Following that chain of spoilers was almost as bad as making a run to Hutton Orbital
At least you get a free Anaconda once you finally get to Hutton.
I’m far too cheap for any of that nonsense.

I think you're grossly exaggerating the problem.
Yes, cheats exist and it would be nice if Frontier did more. Most people you encounter in PvP aren't going to be cheating and writing off the entire experience because someone might seems like a paranoid overreaction to me.

FDEV has allowed this 3rd party app survive for what 9 months? Longer? How would anyone know in this game if what they are facing is not fixed? Is this the only mechanism for tweaking ships? No thanks to pvp in ED.
Last night I was fighting off a raid by 3 players in Conan Exiles. I was out numbered, their thralls were higher tier than mine, and their gear was higher tier. I stayed and fought because I knew that with Battle Eye at least there was some chance the fight would be legit. Not that Funcom is the bastion of AAA game quality or anything, at least I know they are trying to fix their game.

Similarly, most people you meet in Open aren't going to attack you (depends on where you go), and most systems contain no more of a threat than they would in solo.
Wow, it's amusing how much of the "WhY sO seRIoUs" crowd seem to be seriously upset by this post. Par for the course, though.
