Traders, opinions from a pirate

[mwerte]

See Janus' post.

I used to carry crew until I kept running into lolutting pirates who blew me up 5 seconds after their demand (one group of OPG blew me up after I paid...) and it just became not worth it to keep remembering to buy the stupid things. Does not having them make me a bad RPer? no. Does having them make me a good RPer? No. Having them means that I have 5 spaceship crew cargo commodities. Not having them doesn't mean that I don't have crew. No doubt this will be dismissed because I lead a trader corporation and my only goal is to "make money for a battleship lulz" but the point of fact is I don't enjoy trading that much. So no, I'm not going to spend my free time doing something that I'm not too fond of unless it's wanted by me. (Faction home system, shiny new cruiser, ect). I don't trade to lose money to pirates. Good pirate interactions make me happy, but they're not why I trade.
