I paid the ransom, as the screenshot demonstrates. You've been warned not to pay. Here is the screenshot along with the killboard:

Most hardcore Lowsec guys honor them, many don't. Last month I ransomed a Dominix for 2 million isk and honored it. I was in light tackle and the rats almost had me dead. He paid after I warped out :D

I figured this would pertain even moreso to hi-sec people. The number of noobs, like me (which now I've learned how CONCORD doesn't act), is really large. If they build up a reputation for not ransoming, they actually lose money, potentially.

Confirming everyone has all their ISK on one character . Nice smack attempt but it just makes you look ignorant.

I have never had more than 5000 ISK in my feather lite wallet, but a poor peasant is often still a happy one sir. You should feel ashamed for the nasty jestings.

the answer it's easy: when the noobs find out why Concord not shooty, also the same noobs won't fall for the trick (or won't fall again), so basicaly you have no reason (except some stupid and costly "ehonour") to keep isk and release the ship. So as a basic rule don't pay ransoms in hisec and you will be fine.

P.S.
i almost forgot: also when you will ask for ransoms in hisec don't forget to pop the guy after he pays, the reason for this (except isk ofc) is his tears/rage, threats, fanmail and so on Big smile

I can't believe missioners still shoot at ninja salvagers.

Believe me they shoot the ninja; you must learn how to be very annoying and they will shoot you.

I shot a binman once and when he warped off to get his new ship, so did I. Funnily enough he didn't seem to think having a more even match was easy enough a kill for him.

Popular L4 mission hubs are going to be where these people are. If the population there is made aware, they still net loss money from the lack of ransoms.

P.S.
Pretty douchy.

Judging by the killmail, I don't think Sansha's Nation cares about Ransoms

First people never learn properly except the hard way; imo it's the human nature. Second even when they shout in local about you and your deeds, you can do your business as usual because it's seems nobody really cares.

P.S.
Maybe it's douchy but also it's really, really funny and like i said before, in the end nobody cares.
