What I mean by real is people who actually RP and such.. Not only demand 2 mil credits and shoot you when you dont pay.
[font=Comic Sans Ms]That is a real pirate hun.

No, real pirate would demand all your money, possessions, cargo and then shoot you, even though you pay.
but really, go cargo piracy and after some time wonder.

I think the thread has stated more than once that there ARE quite a lot of RP pirates and how their RP looks like.

Mmm, I just posted about the other side of this.....Frustrates me on both sides.
Traders play some dirty tricks: Transfer window and run, stalling, silent treatment, running while I'm responding to RP, quickdocking ect
Pirates: PvP baiting by overcharging, 2millionordie, Halt! Stop! I don't know how to use /setmsg, and just "terroristing" you
People just need to touch up their RP: problem is that the people who are the issue don't read these forums in most cases

All these mentioned above are no "dirty tactics".
You cannot know whether the other person is typing at the moment. So assuming someone will not try to flee while there is an opportunity is not really realistic. It's a trader's RP to try to evade.
He may do so silently (because he needs to concentrate on not hitting rocks, switching auto-CM on, etc), which is also perfectly fine. I agree it's more fun to RP, but as a trader your primary objective is getting away. And typing and risking to miss the lane or to be CDed is just unclever.
Quickdocking is not dirty at all. Everybody should know the quickdocking points and if you pirate someone that close to a base, you made a mistake. I'd always make a run for it if I am sure that I can get there before I am shot.
The point is: Pirates "force" roleplay on someone. Of course you provide roleplay, but some just don't want to accept your offer (which is their personal decision to make).
Thus, in my opinion it's the pirates turn to offer something that is worth accepting. That might need a little more preparation (roleplay /setmsgs to be fast at a time when most traders will try to run), roleplay (show "I am no 2milordie"), and skill (typing! while keeping CDed, roleplaying while the other might try to evade) than most pirates on this server have.

These pirates make my day. To such people, im willing to pay and listen along, even without the need to metagamingly call the Navy. They are FUN. And also comprise about 1% of all pirates.
