What I said that set you off is a quote from a very popular TV series, it was not meant as a personal attack but a comment on philosophical thought. IMO defining things as they were and holding on to that definition is a foolish thing to do and counter productive to the conversation not to mention the evolution of the game.

A pirate is someone who steals. Not someone who does honorable 1v1s and rescues haulers.
That's more like what the coast guard does. They aren't pirates.

Example. Some duder got told by his "friends" that he'd be safe taking his Orca through lowsec.
I'm not sure what gave you the impression this was piracy back in the day. It certainly wasn't how my time as a pirate was. Piracy has always been about shooting people and stealing their stuff/getting paid not to shoot them.
It might have been more common for corps to have rules against scamming/insist that you honour any ransom offer you made/accepted but that wasn't related to piracy. No one paid ransoms in 2005/6 either though so people have just stopped bothering over the years because you might as well blow them up and steal the loot. |

I believe pirates are defined by hobby and disposition
Pirates kill and take Pirates are generally laid back Hard to get a pirate worked up about unfairly killing him. Because a pirate knows more than most eve is not fair Pirates don't get wound up and high strung by politics, or verbal attacks They know, seemingly better than most other groups in eve, this is just a game
Btw, primary booty for pirates these days is "fun"
Also, the flashy red box :). |

Bah.
The main definition of being a pirate is having Crotch Ninja's.
Also, yaaaaaar.
Everything in EVE is a trap.
And if it isn't, it's your job to make it a trap...:)

always thought pirates were people that lived in lowsec or npc null who didn't care about the consequences of there actions. Honoring ransoms is not something that real pirates should do. Does a pirate want to be remembered by a carebear for being nice and honoring the ransom or because he just stole and killed the carebear |

I personally a profit motive defines piracy in eve. If you are attacking ships for the primary motive of acquiring their modules or cargo, or to ransom them, you are a pirate. This can apply to high sec gankers, but does not apply to the new order at all. Miniluv might fit the definition though.

In EVE can really only be practiced in Low or Null. Suicide ganking in High Sec is just terrorism. What about whs?
Also agree that high sec tanking is just terrorism. Or more like dynamite fishing.

High sec happy fun times do not require suicide ganks to happen, it's just a bit harder without the gank. Scored a few ransoms, usually low value, while in high. My favorite was negotiating with a newbro for the return of his 'slightly used' Damsel. Every once in a while you can score a nice high value kill and clean up on the drops also. Couple times I've had like a quarter billion in shinies fall out of the pinata. Any time I see some nitwit using faction drones my ishkur gets all excitable.
That thing you just poasted? Yeah, that. That's the reason Ezwal always looks unhappy.

Highsec mission piracy is very profitable. Steal key mission items(especially from those epic arcs) and ransom them back for isk.
If they don't pay, put them up for contracts and someone else will buy the contract after you steal their mission item. |

The definition of what a pirate is has changed a lot. Ransoming tends to no longer exist in a wide spread fashion. I do not foresee it returning either as the player pool increases. |
