Peoples mentality about Piracy demands baffles me..

[Oorn]

People are going ballistic when asked for 5 millions for cargo worth 10 millions.
People are not going ballistic to loose all cargo while being killed. Even more, they are happy for some reason. The only reason in that situation is that Pirate got nothing too.

Perhaps it happens because people are not fine with spliting their profits 1:1 with random guy they just met who typed 8 letters, while its far from guranteed they will profit themselves. Asking for 1/2 profit means you just earned no less than what guy worked 30mins for. If people payed even regular 2mils, pirate profit will be far bigger than traders.(granted, you can track people with chat list) 1/2 is quite greedy.

Also, im all against piracy being considered income on-par with trading. Trading SHOULD be more profitable cause its boring.

EDIT:

just lol

As you just demonstated lack of any desire to have constructive discussion, i will help you with it.
I viewed problem from psychological POV. What I meant is people have certain ...mindset... that results in "half profit" demands being totaly unaceptable.

When "roleplay" around you seems to be diminishing... all you can do is be a new beacon of roleplay to light up everyone else's interactions.
