Chill, everyone, pirates aren’t that bad

It's not the pirate faction themselves, it's the absurd way CG is connecting them to the current raid, AND, we're obviously waiting for real pirates because as a leader Ithano sucks, plus he wants unreleased pirates on his team.  

CG continuously creates problems for us to buy our way out of.  This is a more egregious instance of it though, since we don't have a real leader and two teams of pirates we should be able to use in the raid aren't even released yet.  

Not to mention, the regular version of Hondo is Neutral, but the GL version is DS.  So CG's just given up on the neutral tag apparently, but then, they give up on a lot of things and leave players hanging.
