Maybe it's because the rules used to be crystal clear, and we, as players, understood the spirit of sportsmanship rather than strictly adhering to the technical letter of the law.
Back then, if you were lawful or corporate and were caught by an unlawful or nomad, the encounter unfolded naturally through simple roleplay. Now, everything is scrutinized under "Rule Violation 1.0," leading to widespread misconceptions about the rules.
Let's be real—previously, we were free to enjoy the game within the boundaries of the rules, but now, players act with fear. Even a minor mistake can lead to reports and sanctions.
As a military, police, or bounty hunter character, seeing a nomad meant I could engage immediately. But now, despite the obvious enmity, we must go through RP and declaration lines before engaging. This rigidness applies even to obvious rival factions like police/navy versus criminals.
