Most of the time it is just used to describe pilots who are -10 and fly almost exclusively in low security space. A real pirate would be most likely be concerned exclusively with making money over everything but I know that me and most of my corp are most interested in action. We hemorrhage ISK because we spend so much on ships without getting much in return. Most of us have alts to mission/rat/trade/scram/etc just to support the "piracy".<br /><br />...and to the point of pirates only griefing, I'm not going to say that we don't. Hell, some of the shit I've done is so griefy that I actually felt bad about it afterward. That being said, a lot of us (although definitely not all of us) are looking for fights that are even or even skewed against us because those are the most intense and the most fun. Who cares if you lose a ship as long as you got some good action out of it from a worthy opponent. A very large percentage of PvP in lowsec is between two pirates or pirate gangs or a pirate gang and anti-pirate gangs. Yes there is some griefing and yes a lot of carebears get ganked but I'd rather get a good fight against an opponent that can fight back than a free kill against a wet noodle.<br /><br />Wow, sorry, that turned into a big comment :)Spectrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02633811678597504887noreply@blogger.com
