The fact some traders stay silent is a fact, regardless of the rules. Should we finally start sanctioning for silent trading - the arguments would never take place.
I've learnt one thing.
No matter how many rules we introduce or remove, no matter how many times we'll try to balance things - there WILL BE someone abusing anything for the sake of abusing it. Remember why Pirate ID got nerfed? Because someone used it as cheap pseudo-terrorist ID. If someone REALLY wants to abuse something - he or she will do that.
But what annoys me to the bone is the fact that there are players stupid enough who pirate empty ships for enormous amounts of money and it creates hate between pirates and traders. You want silent traders? Because this is how you create damn silent powertraders, logging in the late/early hours just to avoid types like you! Roleplaying a pirate is still doing a tough guy - but, especially with low server population, overdoing what is allowed and what is not is just wrong on so many levels it hurts.
Why you abuse stuff even? The majority of the group you represent suffer heavy restrictions bound with every single abuse that comes out as a repeated trend.
This little bird went to sleep forever. So long.
Thank you for everything.
