Re: Chatmud players.
At 5: that's still utilizing personal experiences in making a generalized statement. A huge no no when examining stuff like this. Granted, for Chat mud, the bad experience reports aren't too common. However, public disclosures of this stuff is unreliable, as people don't like the attention and refrain from complaining. Generally why when collecting data for one's experience of something, it's all anonymous to have people be more motivated to answer honestly, or at all.
Anyway, just because a bad experience does not happen to you, does not mean it doe s not happen. I haven't had an extremely bad experience from miriani, but I witness and interacted with people who do make people's lives miserable on there. The game is essentially pirating, the mud. And people do that for the most vaguest of reasons on younger pilots. It's not really healthy role playing if the thing to do is keep your head down from public interactions and make buddy buddy with the biggest pirates in the game or else get your crap stolen on a constant bases. Thing is this can be very subtle for newer players that they can be role playing with people who have no qualms for ruining your experience since many have a pleasant enough persona. It when you unknowingly screw up and get on their shit list where things go bad. The nature of the game allows for a form of griefing if they wanted to, and I've heard and sat in ships that partook in such pirating and ambush actions.
though, i've had people just randomly shoot at me in space for no reason in the middle of a inhabited sector. heck, sometimes ships took pot shots at those ships exiting a mission gate. It kind of became common practice to repair as much damage as possible before heading back to collect rewards because of that. Granted, this was nearly a decade ago, and I think some stuff has changed in regards to attacks near planets.
