Got scammed... is it illegal - silverleaf - 08-30-2009
I've read all da posts.
Anyway, yeah what happens if the trader demands 10mil for a 9mil run? Why should I pay? Yes for the sake of RP but don't forget piracy happens so often here I might as well be trading for peanuts. Or the cargo pirate who demands ALL your stuff. I talked to him, tried to rp with him like any ordinary pirate but still got blown up. I even offered him 2mil (a lot for that route I was doing, bout a third my profitz and I was only 2 jumps out).

it's indeed unfortunate when your not intelligent enough to take advantage of the situation at hand, therefore pay or die. simple enough?

Well, YOu either pay, or die. Some lol pirates dont see that the point is RP, Not the money.
And 10 mill is Rathyer exorbant.....

That's what we call a '1.2' violation. Basically, if it's deemed to harm server gameplay it's sanctionable.
As for scamming like that, it, also, can be written up as a 1.2 violation, but it really has to be decided by the HNIC on an individual basis.

So just how much is deemed unacceptable? I'm sure taking more than what I would make should be, the limit should be set at 50% so that trading and pirating can coexist. The only people I feel will be offended by this move is the said 10mil or die pirates. In which case I say 'fine just blow me up you sicko' if I can't rp with them.

I like pirating you on my Slave liner.
Why?
Because you allways whine and bitch about every single thing,
I mean a 5k transport whining because I want 3880 units of his Alien Organism Cargo.
Also, Why is a Mastodon liberty Super transport flying around the Omegas?

"Hey starflea, set your cashcode to "gift" so I can get your money. hahaha I am so brilliant. hahaha...uhm I mean so I can give YOU the money. hahaha.....hick yarrr!"
Making 8000 credits per starflea should make him millionare in a year.
Lets say half a year, if he desicovers half the way, that he just needs to make a new char to get 8000 without doing anything *laughs*
there not making new characters... or taking the 8k.... they give you money and wait until you have alot and forget that you set your cashcode... then they use that code to steal all your money when you get to a high level
