I was hauling some secure cargo in attempt to complete a storyline mission in low sec. I knew the risk, but I choose to do so anyway. Jumped a gate and saw bunch of red on overview. I offer to surrender but they refused and didn't bother with any ransom. I knew I wouldn't make it out alive in an industrial. My best option was to jet the cargo and come back for it later rather then having it blown up along with the ship.
The cargo is worthless to everyone but myself. I was willing to pay for it as long as I have gotten it back safely. I would like to point out that I did mention that in local as well. I came back in another ship in order to pick it up and found out that the cargo have gotten destroyed because one of the pirate was bored.
I was a little ticked off and I'm still ticked off because I lost 1 whole point of faction standing. One small act of mischief from them cost more to me then what its worth to them. I expressed my desire to have it back for a price. Yet they choose to be a douche bag.
I do understand that this is a game. I also understand that its annoying as well to build good standing.
I was really looking forward to getting out of low sec and work with other lvl 4 agents in hi sec with better quality. My plan is now delayed by 2 months roughly speaking.
Its really tough to get vengeance or justice when you're alone. Not to mention its awfully expensive to hire mercenaries. Its best to bite my tongue and deal with my grief for the time being. Its not much I can do against such a large group.

When some1 says in local that "I don't have anything worth anything in my cargo! I will even jettison" I tend to make sure to check extra carefully what's there. Either you're the hauler we killed or there's two people stupid enough to think that tactic works

You were in lo-sec and you accept that there are risks to being there, so whats the problem? You bumped into a bunch of pirates, they killed you and you left a can there thinking what? That they wouldnt blow it up or take whats in it? As much as it sucks, you should have known better.
Thank you anyways for gracing C&P with your carebear tears. And you dont have to use low sec agents. I dont and can make a small fortune very quickly.

if your character you hauled with were called Blueaise, then your loot were left unharmed for you to pickup as you were told in local,
later we got jumped by a gang and it might have been destroyed in the fight

While I commend the speed of your ninja edit to conceal your main, Mr. spineless, when you (by you, I mean your alt of course) stated you knew the risk, you clearly did not account for the risk of running into *******s.
Welcome to lowsec, I guess.

tbh, I had loaded the thread before he edited, went to log in to call him on failing to post with his alt, by which time he'd edited it. So thank chribba for eve-search, such fun

actually, its probably because these pirates just didnt feel like ransoming, they just wanted the potentially good loot from their drops

The OP has a point.
Its a flaw in EVE really, not so much of game mechanics but of psychology of the players.
Almost no player pirate in EVE could have made it as a real pirate. Piracy is not about killing the other guy. It's about how much you can get out of the target. If a target has no value (say t1 ship and all t1 (non named) modules) then it isn't worth a real pirates time.
The most successful pirates of Earth oftentimes did not fire even a shot at the enemy. Their reputations were often such that ships surrendered cargo without problems or paid ransoms upon sighting the sails of the enemy.
What is practiced in EVE is not piracy, its butchery. They kill for the pleasure of killing irregardless of any value the target might have.
