I never said you RP a drone, only that you trade on autopilot, as you said yourself.

No were did you say "I RP as a trader" only that you "make billions while watching BSG." As for putting words in your mouth, I will quote exactly what you have said:

Anaximander Wrote:Well honestly, since when has the game NOT been balanced towards traders? True, in the PVP arena, trade ships suck, and rightly so, but the truth is I can make a billion credits trading while watching a season of BSG, only casually looking at FL on the monitor because nothing pops up. And should I be unlucky / foolish enough to get caught by pirates, I just pay them the 2 million and keep on grinding. 2 million is peanuts for 99.9% of all traders in the grand scheme of things. There's little to no risk getting pirated, and furthermore you are covered by extreme care bear measures in the unlikely event that you should get caught. There's simply no risk, and without risk there aren't any challenges, and without challenges there's no fun.

That's two counts of me being "foolish" the first is quite direct, the second is implied and to top if off you tell me "not to cry" these are your exact words. A perfect example of my previous point, do you need further evidence of this issue?
