Prodigy cheated his way to Pirate Legend...

That's not cheating. Is it exploiting the game's drop-in features? Yeah of course. But it takes a LOT of organization to pull something like that off and people do stuff like this all the time in order to get 'world firsts' in a game.

Cheating? No.

Bringing a community together so we can all see what the end result is? Sure.

I also don't know who this person is and why I should care, aside from being able to know what the legend content is.

Having others do the work for you is literally the definition of cheating.

Organized crime is still crime buddy. Having others do the work for you while gaining is literally the definition of cheating

@ersatz-nihilist

It’s an analogy he obviously didn’t break any laws. He’s gaining from others work though without doing any work himself... that’s cheating.

@weepaperboats a legend that I'll destroy blind folded if we meet at thr sea. Honestky, I blame Rare for making the legend status all about griding that doesn't require any skill. Other ganes would have you kill some legendary, very hard boss. Here? You can literally become purate legend after soloely turning in chickens...

Great...now lets see the Legend content so I can know if I should continue the grind, or move on till updates.

@ersatz-nihilist

Again he is gaining from the work of others without doing the work himself regardless of game rules or not that’s what cheating is defined as, “act dishonestly or unfairly in order to gain an advantage, especially in a game or examination”

This is certainly unfair to the main player base and is a dishonest way to play if you wanna ride the dudes d feel free though

...Are you serious? For one, this thread could be considered witch hunting so it already violates rules. Second, there is nothing stopping others from doing methods like this; he just managed to do it first and get the most amount of people willing to cooperate with him. I've hopped into voyages before where they turned in and then I left shortly after - does that make me a cheater? No? Okay, then there's nothing wrong with him coordinating it because he's simply making use of the drop-in /drop-out mechanics.

If Rare sees it as cheating then they'll punish the guy, but you're using ridiculous hyperbole to make it sound like he's gotten away with murder on stream. Dude simply exploited the way crews work and wrenches could've been thrown into it at any given time due to the nature of random drop-ins joining the game sessions (and having no way to boot them if they don't care about wasting your time).

So chill out and calm thyself. You're blowing this wildly out of proportion.

@ersatz-nihilist

Stop trying to avoid the literal definition of cheating.

Are you in love with this dude or something? He’s exploiting the system and you all are cheering him on. It’s sad. You don’t see steamers like Stone Mountain pilling this.

You seriously need to take some time off on the forums if you're going to be this rabid for anyone telling you that you're wrong. You clearly have issues with the streamer in question, so just let Rare handle it if they find something wrong with it. Otherwise you're just digging a hole for yourself.

Also for the record I've never even heard of this guy and I don't give a care that he got Pirate Legend first. You sound like you're upset that he got there first over someone else you were rooting for.
