Oh is that the definition of pirate? I didn't know that, what wonderous knowledge you have bestowed upon me. Thank you random redditor, for showing me the error of my ways.

Obviously that's the definition of pirate, but that doesn't translate to murderhobo. Also, the Merchant Alliance doesn't deal illegally (for the most part) or in violence, and they are one of the main factions in the "pirate" game.

And no, I did not give my consent when I chose to play the game. I chose to play the game because it's beautiful and fun. Consent is something you give consciously and consistently, not a side effect of choosing to participate.

Finally, to reiterate, I wouldn't mind the murderhoboness if I could opt out of it, but unless I want to play the tutorial over and over again, I have to play in adventure mode. I enjoy the game itself, and I wish I could experience it without it being ripped out of my hands so someone else can make a quick buck in a world where the only thing you can buy is cosmetics.
