Hey, look at it this way.
Mission Running is supposed to be a 'profession'
Yea, here you have a few choice. You can do it in High-sec, Low-sec or 0.0.
High-sec which is pretty much a walk in the park when it comes to safety.
Low-sec, is a little bit riskier, but also - The mission rewards are increased
quite greatly.
Mining is supposed to be a 'profession'
The same goes here, Safe in Empire (more or less), can still make some money.
Low-sec, some better rewards. However way more risk to it.
0.0 Great rewards, and risky depending on the circumstances.
Trader is also supposed to be a 'profession'
Trading, can be more profitable in low-sec & 0.0, depending on many stuff. Mainly due to the fear people have to go there with their haulers. On the other hand, this gives those brave enough better rewards.
Looking at all of the above, it gets more dangerous in low-sec for all professions, due to pirate threat pretty much. Everybody wants to make low-sec more safe. I say Traders and Miners are alot more in trouble when it comes to risk upon entering low-sec, compared to mission runners.
And hey! I can read on my game box that I can be a pirate by profession too!
Awesome. And what can I have for targets? Well, pretty much all the other players in the game, who do go to low-sec in order to gather the riches it holds.
However, this profession also provide alot of restrictions and stuff that make your life a real hell.
We can't go to Empire, we can be attacked Anywhere. We have to pay alot more for items we buy in low-sec. How the hell are we supposed to live out of our profession, if all the other professions recieve lowered risks in low-sec?
If you compare how much isk / hour you do in Empire doing lvl 4 missions, and also add the lowered cost on items you buy and then compare it to the average pirates isk / hour and add all extra costs, and all the risk in the pirate profession. What would it turn out to be?
Well, I'm not even going to answer that...
On the other hand, something that I didn't get out of your post is how come these people are not being flagged, or you given kill rights? That sounds a bit weird to me. And I agree that if these kind of actions (attacking mission runners in low-sec) doesn't give anything negative along with it, then it is wrong
Edit:
Also, I believe that CCP's philosophy is to promote teamwork and player interaction to accomplish greater things.
And believe what, these who attacked you put in that effort and teamed up. If you would be teamed up aswell - The outcome could have been very different.
