Can anything be right just because some or many people do it? Certainly, raiding may be part of the game for these and those nations, however, it doesn't really justify raiding at all. Personally, I don't approve of this behavior. However, if newer nations aren't willing to join an alliance which could protect them, then they leave the backdoor open for raiders. /me sighs. Unfortunately, morality is a tight resource, so to say, and to whatever conclusion this thread may come, I'm sure that raiding will continue regardless.
