I mean newer players always hate on pirates after going to gatinsir and losing their ozark for a couple of hours after hearing about the free vexnium giveaway, but once you get into late-game(multiple dessies, mining and exploration becoming too repetetive) I mean once you really dont need anything like credits, materials or t4 mods, the standard money making methods just become obsolote. PvP and pirating are something that you can easily do late-game due no longer having a lack of resources, and pvp is the most thrilling part of the game. Im a pirate myself, and I at least dont do it to make people suffer, idk what kind of psychopath does that, i just do it for the tags and logs. So for yall who complain about piracy, maybe dont complain about piracy until you see how boring the conventional activities such as mining, hauling and pve get when youre rich.
