The Problem With Piracy

[Eternal.Journey]

But why do you need to take 100,000 - he trades for the money, you don't pirate for it? Is your goal of piracy to make him go further away from his objective? Why not make RP demands, small cargo shenanigans and/or ask for 1ks if you have to ask for money? (Boring as hell if you ask me) Or - give them the option - RP with me OR pay money...well or die

You don't get it, do you?

The issue isn't the amount, its the fact the guy got pirated at all. It doesn't matter if you ask him for 10k or his discarded toenail clippings from underneath the co-pilot's seat, you still get put on a "log off before meeting" list that involves "Departing Player: Powahtraydah". It's almost ALWAYS the same. The less interaction they get, the better in their mind. And they make it so it's that miserable that no one wants to interact with them; A win-win from their perspective.

Address the Cause, not the Symptoms.
