Mayve you should go back to hello kitty...
Morals exist in every situation, just not the morals that the common masses think of as "morals" but they are there. Ever heard the saying, "Honor among thieves"? It is a true thing and it REALLY needs to be part of EVE. I don't expect vile people to be honorable but you need to hold to some sort of code don't you? Otherwise you are nothing but common trash
I have paid ransoms in the past; though less likely to do so now. Why would I pay with the expectation that I am going to lose my stuff anyway? There was once a time in this game where you could count on being let go if the pirate offered a ransom. Sheer stupidity to not honor a ransom.
Ramblings of an old man..

Still waiting for the part where I should care.
To assume that someone holds a specific "code" is the mark of an idiot. If you're getting robbed on the street by knifepoint do you really think that guy has any code or honor? Of course not, and it would be stupid to come to that conclusion. I personally honor ransoms unless someone tries to screw around (i.e. sending the wrong amount, trying to buy time while I'm being hammered by gate/station guns). That's just because I need the ISK. Pirating doesn't exactly make one rich in lowsec and I hate missioning with a passion. So my ransoms are not backed by any code, rather my financial prosperity and hopes for return customers.

Another way to handle ransoms:
greedy griefer > hi there
greedy griefer > 250 for ur hulk
miner > not interested in selling
greedy griefer > it's ransom
miner > you mean random?
greedy griefer > NO - ransom
miner > on a sunday? you're kidding ..
greedy griefer > pay, or ill shoot ur ship in pieces
miner > which ship?
greedy griefer > the hulk you fly
miner > oh, really?
miner > you mean, you really wanna klick on a fancy button, activate you're weapons and kill this hulk? you know, these are only some bits and bytes in a giant database, don't you?
miner > and you really think, i will give you 250m ISK to keep these bits? p*** off or shoot, kiddie
greedy griefer > lasz warning, ill kill you
miner > you're boring me to death, think i get me a coffee ...
greedy griefer > wtf?
miner > oh, my mates arrived - what did you want in the 1st place?

Blowing stuff up is the game, ransoms are just the half time entertainment.

Sirs, if I may,
Please deposit the allegedly ransomed ISK with me and I will verify it to check that it was in fact procured from the OP.

However i will be launching an investigation into the matter and will keep you informed of what i find.
Good Day Sir.

They got my friend and asked him for 40m ransom, when he paid they just shot him down.
Dont pay them even a cent.
Pics or it didn't happen. Anyway, it's best to assume a pirate won't honor a ransom unless you have a good reason to think they will. Last time I checked tuskers have a rule about honoring ransoms so it's probably safe to pay them. I wouldn't pay to some random pirate whose reputation I'm not familiar with though. |

I once ransomed a Navy Mega in lowsec for a 300mil... Was my first ever attempt at ransom and I was flying a T1 fit thorax so a rushed 'for 300 mil I warp away' was the whole conversation.
He paid, I warped....
I feel I did the honourable thing.
The FC asked me later why I warped away and I mumbled something about gate guns.....
That Navy Mega guy sure got upset, don't know what he was upset at me about, like I said... 'I' warped away....

That was a 40 mil lesson in how not to fit a Drake.
When you agree to a ransom, you realize that it is the pirates decision whether or not to honour it. Don't be butthurt at them, be butthurt at yourself for being stupid. |

Take a page out of my book and if you find yourself on the wrong end of a random, simply respond with a hearty "Howdy, I was just thinking how convenient it would be to get a free ticket to my marketing hub."
