Guild Wars 2

Yep, they called “pirates”, BUT pirates can’t be an organized ARMY, pirates are free. Ship, crew and captain – that is what pirate is.

As piracy goes, the classical type anyway, the captain is elected for their cunning and tactics as a figurehead. With Scarlet being willing to sacrifice so many while cutting and running, not to mention the losses.
Aetherblades resemble the modern pirate more.

And Ellen “Goodie Two Shoes” Kiel is a member of the Captain’s Council for the pirate capital of Tyria. Guild Wars 2 has the lamest take on pirates ever. Disney’s cartoon pirates have more edge than GW2 pirates.

What do you have against Captain Jack Sparrow?

Nothing, I happily recognise that he’s not a cartoon.

And he’s right, Captain Hook is more pirate then Ellen Kiel will ever be. On the other hand, Mai Trin did appear to be an interesting character, but there wasnt any more development on the Aetherblades before they were sacrificed on the Mary Sue altar for Scarlet, unfortunately.

Pirates? I just see Aethers as $champ boxes$.

Yeah, though they’re called pirates because they’re a thieving organization, they’re far from pirates. They’re an organized military that stole from the Pact (thus “pirates”). Maybe because of Mai Trin they were thought to be pirates… and thus called such at first, but I don’t think they’ve been called pirates since Jubilee.

And about Lion’s Arch and pirates.. honestly, the modern (GW2’s) Lion’s Arch aren’t really ran by pirates… but businessmen who don’t like working with their racial laws. They just hold origins in pirating, but the modern Captain’s Council are far from. And LA being a pirate haven is true, though the true pirates are anti-LA (Covington).
