Pirates & Traders

[Shiki]

Think of it from a gameplay perspective.

The person probably wanted to earn money for more ships/chars/armour/etc.
Your demand was basically stealing all that potential profit, leaving him/her in a negative, and giving him/her time to waste of flying back / flying to the destination and buying once again.

It's easier to just die and get teleported so you can retry. Really, that's why I dislike cargo piracy in general. It's too punishing and the other party rarely gets any benefit from it (since they're likely in snubs).

Die-hard RPers will try to negotiate their way out of it, people who don't really have patience for trading would rather not prolong their goal to getting that money for something they actually enjoy.

My two cents. Some people fly traders to earn money to RP, rather than RP while earning money.

I'm totally agree on that, actually. Personally I trading only when I'm feeling that I can't make a proper rp or pvp. "THIS IS RP SERVER" is not an excuse when you trapped on pirate who demanding all cargo, there is no point to stay at that location, of course in this case I'm rping and fighting back even without a chance to win. YES you are making RP without a crap like "kill me" and NO you are not making nonsense gemplay wise things like dropping cargo and fly back.
