This discussion isn't new, and I've had it here several times, and nothing has changed. To begin with, about 90% of the time, the pirate basically says "stop. Give me X or die," so you won't get much of a response. Also, honestly, standing in a place waiting for a target... isn't a big deal, but whatever! To be honest, I've never done piracy, even when I played for unlawful factions, but if I did, I never asked for large sums to begin with. 100k is already a large sum, to be honest, and that avoided unnecessary conflicts and promoted good interactions.This only leads to interactions being avoided, and for a game that claims to be roleplaying and not PvP, that's bad... It's funny that a "VIP" player told me that it's the trader's fault if they get caught by a pirate, and that they should avoid it at all costs... but anyway, who am I to say otherwise?
