So a friend of mine took much merriment in rubbing it in last night that he had received an invite to the Pioneer program.
He showed off a shiny email from Rare praising him for his "excellent commitment to the Pirate life",
His amusement came from the fact that he hasn't played the game since the end of week 1... about 10 hours in total.
He hasn't played THD, CS or FS...
So that's who we want testing a game for new features? Someone with 10 hours playtime and who has never been on the forum/twitter/discord or submitted a bug report???
Have to say it's less than impressive for those of us without a Founder badge who appear to be left out in the cold.
(Oh yes there's plenty of brine in this post)
