Pirating, amount of money

[BaconSoda]

People don't RP acceptable terms because pirates are asking for fixed fees. 99% of pirates don't seem to care about RP, they just want some easy money and ask stupid fees. For example one time i was asked to pay 2 million with a low end trader ship which couldn't even make 2 million without something like 4 trade runs, thats not a RP bribe. Pirates should ask for everything which isn't bolted down if they want to RP pirating, not fixed 2 million fees.

If a pirate would ask for goods insted of fixed money values(As in a Pirate actualy RPing), i may actualy run less times from pirates and RP insted when im in a trader character. You may be in the 1% which actualy RP's, but the rest just do the "2 million or your dead" speach, which is far from RP and doesn't allow for any leyway(SP).

How many traders actually negotiate, though? Not very many. Never have I met a trader that wants to negotiate a price with me or offers me money instead of the cargo demands I make, and I've had this character since I registered here and I have had several other pirates as well. As a truly biased pirate, I have to say that as much as a pirate puts into a pirating attempt, 2/3 of the traders I pirate translate it into "2 million or die!" or "Cargo or die!" and no matter what you ask for, that is the way most people will interpret it.
