You are 100% incorrect. Pirates that don't have high starting bounty are considerate people that leave the bounty in-game when they leave. Are you saying you can't understand even that?

If you steal bounty, then come right back into SvS, guess what? Your targets are all low-value. If you give away your bounty before you port, then come back, you have at least one easy target when you return.

Don't you remember the official SvS tournament? The PRIMARY tactic to quickly pump up score initially, was to TRADE bounty back and forth directly, 1 for 1. Two ships from one guild, launching from French and Spanish, would meet somewhere where the other 18 ships couldn't interfere much. Then they would race to their other meeting point to sink the other ship, then race back to their first quiet spot and trade bounty again...and again...and again.

If you are foolish enough to steal bounty, you deserve the painfully-slow, minuscule bounties you get.
