What if everyone actually paid the pirates?

or All of someone's ore just because you're too lazy to do it yerself? No, not cool. That's Meta-gaming.

Mete-gaming: Using OORP knowledge to take advantage of things ingame.

So... first off its not Mete-gaming.

Second: Rorry cargo pirates when he gets the chance. Claiming that I personally am to lazy to mine because ONE of my characters pirates miners Ore is incorrect though. 'He' does it because he finds it profits very well, and has found a clever way of making money.

Losing your cargo from time to time is part of the game. It makes sense in Role Play as well. Not every miner is going to get to his destination. Some take precautions like having scouts to go ahead of them, or use untraveled routes.

I do this when I mine/trade, but as someone once said "Even I get boarded sometimes" and lose my cargo. What do I do about it? Well I don't go saying its unfair because thats what the pirate should have done inRP. I make note of how I got caught, work to evade this the next time, and continue on my way. This shows growth in the traders/miner's RP as a person, they learn how to avoid pirates who take their cargo, not just keep going on the same path to be caught again and again and again.

Now the same goes for the Pirates RP as well, he notices he's missing more and more traders cause their getting smart, so he steps up his game as well, getting friends to help and figuring out how the trader is beating him.

If both sides play their part accordingly, then both will grow in interaction and RP. Some times the Pirate wins, sometimes the Trader wins.
