if a pirate makes a 100k demand I'd pay and return to pay again
if a pirate asks me for 2000 cargo (+500k) I'd avoid it with my bot as not all characters works with the one provided by darkwind
the problem is not the low demand but the fact that players can avoid it if they want to, which means economy is not made for a server population of 20-40 players but ~300 players
we need to force players go through same systems otherwise it's just one gameplay loop: trading
