Even if you're Kaze or Josia you can't be on par with trading even on a 1000 cargo ship, lol. Also the trends are not going along with effective money making via pirating\mercing. Especially for small mercenary groups and individual hunters\mercs. There are not many snubs around to pew with (and it's not fact they will accept a duel at all, lol) and for pewing with GBs or caps you need to have at least a GB yourself which is a fair investment so it can't be viewed as a good starting business. Part taking in lolraids is the only valid way to make okaish cash with merc\hunter. Or ganking random people, it works as well.
