' Wrote:Plus, the current problem isn't cap-ship whoring... it's people not knowing what the hell 'roleplaying' actually means. That and the politics are screwy, but that's another matter.
80% agree. I encourage you to make a tread about that topic.

So all that really ends up happening is people who don't have someone to give them a bunch of money gets screwed. This happens even now, it'd be worse like this.
Yes your right, that would take place (and did)
Funny story:
Was playing Shattered Worlds and went up to Tau-37 for some cheap Niobium. I was in a starflyer and hostile to the outcasts. Since we all know the outcome of Sabre or Stileto vs. Noob Flyer, we can assume I was royally trapped once I got there. I found myself running pharmaceuticals back and forth from the freeport to Falkland just so that i could have enough for a bribe. Many players offered me money, I declined. Until an admin showed up. This pattern of flying back and forth must have made him crazy. I go and dock and find my Rep completely blank, and I am up 1 millions dollars. I was told I earned it through preserverence. :cool:
