You are asking the wrong question. The question is why should it be easy to rob people and why should it be profitable?

Keep asking the same question again and again and I might report you for trolling! We then see how much you like to ask the question then... Cool
When the question is answered, we will stop. How can I be trolling, when it's pertinent to the thread?
You may have issues answering the question too, which is why you also skirt around it. People can stop it being easy and they can stop you robbing them for profit. So this begs the question.

Why shouldn't you be able to rob people of their valuables for profit?

I already said that it is trolling. All of us know why it should not be allowed.

Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling.

Piracy should come at a price. Low/Null offer goods and services. I see no issue with ganker turning red or KOS the first time they choose to gank in hi-sec. Why should a pirate enjoy the same Privileges and life style as that of a law abiding citizen?

Why shouldn't it be allowed? Why shouldn't you be able to rob people of their valuables for profit?

…except, of course, that asking questions that are pertinent to the topic is not trolling, and all of us know why it is allowed. We also know that the only one trolling here is the OP, since he responds to even the simplest question with nothing but evasions and abuse and non-answers.

Oh and…

Sure. As soon as someone gives an actual reason why it should change. None has been given so far — just vague insinuations about problems that have not been articulated or demonstrated, and quite a few inventions, exaggerations, misrepresentations and other lies.

The OP is asking for no profit, we are asking why. It's a very simply concept, I find it odd you don't understand.

No it hasn't. You have never answered any of the questions asked or given any evidence to back up your argument.

Because they are no different from any other players, so they should be treated like everyone else.

You can't eat the cake without having it. And no, piracy in highsec is like paying for your cake, and then eating it. With a bit of luck, it was tasty enough to be worth the price, and no-one came along and put a pie in your face while doing it…

I don't. I think it should be allowed. So does CCP. This thread is to explain why my opinion (and CCP's?) should be changed.

So by all means. Explain.

Where? Nowhere in this thread is an answer to "why shouldn't you be able to rob people of their valuables for profit?" there is simply avoidance and pontification.

Nope, people have not, you in particular have failed time and time again to address any of the questions raised by your OP. In fact you have failed so much that Band of Brothers are jealous of your mastery of failure.

That's not what happens. Even if it did, why should you stay red?

Quote:

No. You just failed to do exactly that.
So, again, prove it.

If it's as prevalent as pervasive in the thread as you seem to suggest, it should be trivial for you to do so. So prove it.
