The Corsair issue

[Athenian]

Aye, Grimly, but the thread is about Corsairs and is started by a Corsair player. He asks these questions:

- How did these negative views about Corsairs generally behavior begin? Was there a specific "enemy to the corsair" group spreading their bad experiences or was it through actions of specific Corsair players?

Experience, which is then spread by word of mouth, and is eventually exaggerated and finally generalised to apply to all Corsairs.

- Why does many assume that all Corsairs are frustrating, annoying, flies only capital ships, have no knowledge about roleplay and etc. all the bad traits of a player basically?

There's a difference between an "assumption" and a "opinion". An assumption is a pretty silly way to think about things. Opinions tend to be absed on experience.
Because some of them, imho, are bad players. Some. Not all. Some. That's true of any faction. Except the BPA obviously. Go Bretonia!

- Any solution to fix these problems?

Draw attention to what you think is bad play in the hope that others share your opinion and may try to play the way you think they should. Set a good example. Tell nubtards to stop being nubtards. Be direct.

Plainly put, the Outcasts don't generally have this reputation, mainly because the BHG are forced to fight Corsairs more often. All IDs are open to abuse.
