demands and fines are kinda high nowadays that's why it's easier to try running then paying anything at all. For example I didn't saw a 1 million demand for a whole years. Anyone is asking for too much and that's why traders might simply go "u wot m8?" and silently run. When I was actively pirating demands were varying from 100k (sic!) to 1 mill for average demand. 2 millions for high profit regular cargo like old MV route. 5kk was super high tax for ore transport.
It was okay for trader to loose 1 mill, RP a bit with pirates and go his way. Now you usually run into some 5kk tax nonsense with cargo barely worth 6-8 millions coming from some guys who don't even look like aiming on something except the cash.
Conclusion: The addressed problem isn't one sided. It's complex problem of server RP quality going down ballistic for years with nothing being done to improve the situation - quiet the opposite.
