I haven't even played a pirate in many years. And this rule is one of the reasons for that. It is just counter-immersive and not fun for a pirate to sit on the lane for 30 minutes just to rob a trader for 2-4 millions which I can make in 1 PvE mission with minimal RP efforts from the traders. Some people say that RP from the transports can be great, I haven't witnessed those. Even one time when a pirate asked the trader to sing a shanty, it was rather cringy. PvP = RP, the more opportunities for PvP, the better, IMHO. Powertraders already dominate the server hours outside of the peak. There are no threats or obstacles for them whatsoever. At least combat pirating can be more enticing for both the pirates and the traders who will actually have to Alt-tab back into the game.

Blame the player, not the game. People that plays pirates does it for RP mostly, not for profit, so if you give it the profit focus you're missing the point already.
