Nothing wrong, as in the game lets players do it to other players - however not all players find it to be "fun" - and I expect most players play the game for "fun", specifically their own fun.
PvP piracy is only part of the game if player pirates encounter encounter player targets - there's no requirement for player targets to play among other players or to play along with the gameplay that the pirate tries to force them to engage in.
You could say that about any game, there will always be a losing side.
Not all games give each player the option as to how few players to play among, i.e. none, the members of a particular Private Group, the population of Open.
Piracy is already impacted by people clogging, this consent button would be the nail in the coffin
PVP piracy is all ready mostly dead. Gankers have killed it.
Players don't owe any other player "fun" - and as pirates don't seem to care whether their targets have fun, their targets are under no obligation to provide fun for the pirates....
The block feature is all they need then.
Simple reason, you cannot know if person interdicting you is a ganker, even if he communicates to you, he can be a lying ganker. And in most cases interdicter IS a ganker.
In the opinion of some players who stand to benefit from PvP being a tax on co-operative gameplay, maybe - it's not enough for some other players.
Well pretty many gankers actively hate the block feature....
Theres no way to tell how my target is feeling unless I ask, even still I'm out for my fun like everyone else, as I said there will always be a losing side in any game.
Yes that is true there is no way of telling, situational awareness in high traffic systems is a good idea.
Hence players choosing not to stick around during unwanted encounters....
Problem for pirate is that you will need some co-operation of your victim, at least victim should stay put long enough for hatchbreakers to work out. But as victim likely identifies you as ganker there are basically three possibilities. Couple of seconds it takes to yank out network cable, or kill game from task manager, thats the prohibited clogging. 15 seconds timer for menu log, thats allowed by the rules. Or how ever long it takes to run up high jump. Fourth one is that your target is not going to log either by forbidden or allowed method and you manage fry FSD preventing escape.
Randoms are random. Not pre-selected groups.
I'm certainly not breaking my back to keep them entertained. I've seen some of the most toxic behaviours by elements of the pvp crowd - there is little sympathy left here for their stupid agendas.
