Does mugging = enemy?

Accountability in TORN? Woah, that is rare.
You have earned the 'Accountability Merit' for recognizing that buy mugging isn't the muggers fault, it is the sellers. <3
Consistent muggers are on my shitlist, thankfully I only have one. But I often bounty the attacker as well if they couldn't stealth properly as a slap.
for the last year Jorgy411 has mugged me more than 75 times, only 2 times did he get over 1 million, so I can thank him for making sure I keep no cash on hand, I have him on my blacklist and blocked, but, what a waste of human flesh, kinda like that worthless skin on the penis

much success :)
I'm a bazaar owner. If I have something big up for sale, I jump on a plane. When it sells, I put it in stock. I have a lot of small items up in my bazaar, whever something sells, I throw the money into the vault ASAP.
I think when I first played, it annoyed me a good bit. I was getting mugged quite often being a low level with high networth. Might have put 2-3 buy muggers on my blacklist that I've eventually taken off cuz I can beat them now.
My networth has never been in cash though, which people learn soon enough and move on with their lives. I figure any mug I get now is just someone completing a mission target or something.
I don't move much through my bazaar except Xanax now, but I have an ever growing black list. Muggers get added because it blocks them from bazaar transactions, even though I'm flying 85% of the time.
I used the black list for everything though, people who are annoying in forums, global, reputed buy muggers, any kind of scammer, alleged scammers.
I figure it's a cure all, if I don't want to deal with you, you're probably on my BL. I don't remove people from it unless they are in fed.
Description:
mugged me 98$ 25/6/12 12a
98$ earned a spot on my black list 6 years ago...so if you've mugged my for more than that you're probably on me list.
I think thats a bit too cautious ....
If i blacklisted every single player who mugged me ever i dont know how big my blacklist would be ...
Many many many many hundreds.
I blacklist those who buy mug me though every time, the other active players on my blacklist are those of a scammy/cheaty/disrespectful disposition.
Its not that many on my blacklist now, still well under 100. And a lot of them are scammy field mice and inactives etc
From your trading background I can see why you would call it cautious,you have 10x the bazaar income and I'm sure many time the number of customers. If you were to BL all of the muggers it would be quite a task I'm sure, and mostly wasted efforts since I'm sure not many gain much from you.
My perspective is that of a non trader, I rarely get mugged with the exception of rehab mugs. Even that is rare since I have alarms I rarely miss. I'm simply stating that it's few and far inbetween so though it's impersonal to the mugger, I tend to hold a grudge that they will forget all about because 692$ mug was a little waste of E.
I have just over 100 ppl on my list over the last 6 years of playing, which if you look at how simple it is to get on the list is really not many people. But I use it to set my stat goals, I will one one day beat those on my list, most likely long after they have gone inactive, will still be a win for me though. Keeps me a motivated player.
Only time mugging pisses me off is if its abroad. Any other time i brush it off and consider it my own fault. (Caymans campers are all going to hell)
