The player list experiment

[Enko]

There was barely any pirating in the recent event because the lawful side just roflstomped every attempt of doing it by running 5-10 player convoys all the time. No sane lone pirate would take those odds. And there are few groups focused exclusively on piracy. And the piracy has a big stigma because of butth??? silent traders that used to whine a lot in the past, so it's now frowned upon and generally not enjoyable.

Well that didn't happen, the top GF member that traded literally hundreds of thousands did not go in a convoy for the majority of it. Even then the convoys we did do with GF were literally 50% Shetlands that would crumple like paper to a few pirates that come in.

I also spent most of my time solo doing about 60-70k gold and met nobody at all times of day. There were pirates, and we did take losses and did have responses yet it was still far and few between. There has been plenty of time where there were just a few people on and people were vulnerable.

I just don't think people really are interested in it anymore, if I wasn't doing things on the lawful side I would be pirating every day personally.
