I find it rather amusing that the upper teams who bitch about someone else stealing their stuff regularly have alts that form pirate teams that go around and steal other peoples stuff, especially from teams that have no pvp policies. Like Divided Contrast for example. I have no doubt that everyone on that team has alts on major teams. How else could they aquire the wealth to get T21 and T22 ships to go around and steal Anni gear or commods they are too lazy to pay for by actually earning creds.(Psst, PvP is a respectable way to gain credits and items) Its as if the top teams dont want competition so they turn lose pirates to raid lesser teams in order to get more people on their own teams.

Pirating is not respectable, it is stealing. It may be considered "legitimate" within the rules of the game, but it is not in any way "respectable" unless you are another pirate !

I kill random people, blow their pods and scoop their credits. They don't care.

If team A allows player X from pirate team B to join their team then dont be surprised if player Y who had his shit stolen by player X, creates account Z and gets it on a team that player X ( or alts are on ) to steal it back. Players have long memories.

I dont know who CC is or what his gripe is so I'm not parlaying into that itself, however if you are going to harbor pirate alts from 3 weeks after reset to 3 weeks before reset, or if you have players who have pirate alts, then dont be surprised if less powerfull players dont find another way to even the score.

Hmmm, since when was PvP stealing?

You get the idea. None of these players are hiding anything, we all know who they are. I know for a fact that there is little chance any of these alts are from people in my team. I'm sure that Enk can confirm for his team etc.

as some said before this
1. PvP/pirating is different then stealing/scamming
2. pirating and PvP is part of the game. many are against. the game is promoting around the web (read as only YT vids) to have PvP
3. many players on TDC used to be on RE, (sam (monster), bob(blue, MagiczPotato etc.), tbv (ilml), rachel (blazing fire), a player that might want to keep being secret that i can confirm who he was in the past (valtuda), excomm (Dexter), TDHD (smasher etc), masterful (bad weapons), thijs (returned after the team was made) (aku qa). all those players didnt had any characters outside RE and dont have any inside RE left.
4. they pirate because they are bored, this game needs some more action and are doing it from them self. i can tell you they wont attack other teams for the sake of someone else (e.g. team X telling TDC to attack team Y for reason Z for A amount of money). they rather would attack team X then team Y. if you think different try it yourself (you been warned)

Have dividing contrast been pirating then? where have they come into the equation in this discussion?

I was mostly using them as an example because yes they have been pirating, it wasn't my intent to hijack the thread, my apologies if it went that way.

If we were pirating, we would wipe out all of your galaxies.
