Taxing rates

[DeathsOverture]

Well I think that looking at others level is like metagaming(and probably some will disagree). I hate when pirates say "7 mil ro ide" and when you ask why so much they say "you are level 70 so you have money"

Now I understand when someone pirates me for 2- 3 mil if I am hauling diamonds, its based in the cargo, but pirating according to level...

Agreed. Piracy according to level is more ooc/metagaming than whatever you may throw at me.

Also, pirating based on level? please. If anyone can give me one good reason that's NOT metagaming...

So when a pirate flies up to you and demands 5m b/c you're a lvl 80, do you /givecash to another of your players and say "What, sir, is this lvl80 you're talking about?" as your lvl drops to 60 or so? What then?

A convenient claim of metagaming. Is looking at people's level and showing mercy to the poor player really metagaming? I'm not saying that people should be able to talk about it in roleplay, I'm also not claiming that high level players should be taxed more. But in terms of the poor player; it's either a little sacrifice for you, the pirate, or hours of work for the low level character.

Will you really look me in the eye and tell me it's fairplay for pirates to charge a flat rate calibrated to the rich so that they're robbing the poor of the entire value of their ship?

I'm done with this topic. I've never realized how far out of touch with fair play this server is.
