Pirates, terrorists and PvPabuse

[Vogel]

A slightly unrelated discussion, but do tell me...what is reasonable demand?

A demand that doesn't involve more money than I care to acquire. Cargo I don't have. Etc. etc. You also have ones who "count down" to zero, either extremely fast, or they continue to do so after you paid them. The list of BS things I've seen goes on and on, and stems mostly from pirates since, indeed, the Pirate ID is ultimately the "Everyone hates me, I hate everyone" ID that most of these people use.

As expected this topic didn't see a fond response. Unfortunately it's what happens when you claim the server to be "24/7 RP" when in reality it's borderline nonsense and a whole lot of gunfire. There's nothing wrong with pirates, and if I'm in a transport I should expect to be hassled from time to time. But there are players out there who get their rocks off to blowing up defenseless space-whales at every turn for the mere sake of doing so, which makes the prospect of playing a space-whale rather distasteful. Then you realize that the only way to not be a space-whale is to be one for so god-awfully long that you can afford something that won't die in five seconds, and even then capital ships get ganked regardless.

Moral of the story is: don't expect this place to change. Find something you can do that's fun and just do it. If it's no longer fun, or if you can't find anything, then leave it be; there's more constructive things to be doing with your time.
