Ill put it this way to clarify my statement from before. I use setmsg to fulfil the rules when pirating. 90% of the time, and this was before setmsg, traders would use the time it would take you to type a message to just fly away. Can't CD and type at the same time unfortunately, so the longer it takes you to type, the longer the trader has to fly away. I would use a setmsg to tell the trader to stop after CDing them. If they stopped, they got a long and fun rp, if they didn't they got a few more setmsgs and then probably blown up. Over my time here, the restrictions and rules about pirating have gotten tighter and tighter, out of desire for more or better rp, but there has been no corresponding requirement for traders to do anything to rp. Silent trading is still completely legal on the server. As long as you only put the responsibility for improving rp on one side of the interaction, it will never really improve.
