Lore is frame you cannot exceed with your character. You have freedom within those frames to act like you want, but that's it. For everything else there is SRP. By changing lore or altering it you effect the frames within which all players playing that faction can operate or have their discretion.
Council making silly laws is one thing. It can be delt with in roleplay environment. Altering factions framework is totaly different thing. And this is what is happening currently.
Currently? I don´t remember Corsairs being into slavery/human trafficking all the time I´m playing here. How long have you been away? Even lore can change, even faction may evolve. And I don´t remember anybody who voiced desire for Corsairs doing slave business until this thread appeared.
As others said. You want play Corsairs this way? Go for it, I guess OPG doesn´t care about CoE anyway. But all I see in this thread is you (with one or two others) saying to other long-time Corsairs players "you all are playing Corsairs wrong, change those laws and allow slavery or you are not true Corsairs". Both sides had some points, but I really don´t see you as the one who "won". So letting slavery banned is same valid for me as allowing it (despite I personally like Corsairs as they are and were played currently, with honour and without slavery).
