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.
This.
No matter what you ask a trader for, the very fact that they're charged a pittance and react with such outrageous anger is the problem.
And I, as a pirate, have no complaints here. You want to know the reasons. Here's one of them: the merchants' inappropriate response. We'll continue to pirate. And the powertraders will be bending over backwards to earn an extra 100/10/1K credits.
Moreover, half of them apparently don’t even suspect that they are on an RP server. Don't tell me you're AFKing by the IRL. That's a lie. Only a few from the list provided do that. Everyone else flies silently, reacts silently, and fires silently. And those are the majority.
Discovery is a server of dreams. And I'm a big dreamer.
