I have been seeing a few players being sanctioned due to some arrogant traders running when told to stop, and then shot for running.

A prime example (and this is purely my own personal opinion only) is this here sanction report Sanction Thread

This guy obviously found someone to pirate. Good for him. However it appears to me that this is just another case of a silent piratee, running and ignoring the pirater. And then when he dies, he complains, posts sanction report and some poor bugger gets nailed to a cross for doing what everyone else does: Shooting silent traders. And for the record, he made his demand. "Halt"

This post here, clearly explained by Blood, are the ins and outs of piracy. How can you make a demand when the ignorant sod just sails off and ignores you? You shoot the little prick, that's what. Otherwise they never learn, and you get these lolwuts ruining the point to piracy and thinking it is ok to do this crap.

If I pirate someone, they ignore me and carry on trying to run, then damn flippin' straight I'll vaporise the little sod. Crafty little bastards cry to the Admins, post biased reports and so a poor bugger get's nailed.

I think the proverbial crap has hit the fan, and there is too much leniency on lolwut traders, and too much heavy handedness on pirates. Not one pirate will just sit there and wait for a reply, especially if they are running.

What is the damn point?

I don't give a damn who this pisses off, as I felt the need to have my say as a player of all circles of rp in this game.

btw, Good post Blood! This clearly portrays the best way to deal with such mongrels and I reckon this should be a mandatory guideline!
