The rep system could be as well removed (ok, no but all players should be gray at that point) because it's a bit like :: I've got a reputation sheet that tells me if corsairs are friendly with me but it only works with NPCs... meh.
I think I'm just gonna change my RP then ~__~ I'm going to get killed all the time by players who only wants to kill me and don't really care about RP as they only follow the rules not to get banned.
