Hazeron in the conflict zone is a PvP game, even though lots of people don't seem to see it that way. If people want to be protected they can go into the Neutral Zone, which exists purely for that purpose and is now functionally identical. It is very easy to prevent yourself from being wiped out instantly with the tiniest bit of effort by building shipyards in deep space. Taking the events of the last few days into account, it looks a lot like you're mad that Mortius wiped you out so easily and think the rules of the game should be changed because they don't work for you.
Unfortunately, the Conflict Zone is mostly populated by peaceful individuals nowadays. Because of the low player population they don't play in the Neutral Zone, but they also don't want to be involved in any actual conflicts. People have to realize that fighting is a core part of the game, not just a penalty that happens to you when you piss off Mortius. To quote the original welcome page from years back, "Shores of Hazeron is an ambitious and revolutionary game of science fiction adventure, intrigue, and war." Note how Haxus put down the three most important concepts in the headline of the game's description, and war was one of them.
