I quite disagree! Pirates are just as doable as any other character design. It just takes dedication, effort and know your lore boundaries. The world is vast and pirates as well as any other rogue character can operate under the radar. I really would not discourage people from playing these ideas as they can be really fun!

Actually! There is the Rhotano Privateer which is embarked that is very empty with just two NPCs on board. One Roegadyn at the helm and a Hyur fishing which can be easily overlooked with a group of pirates!
It can be accessed by speaking with the Ferry Skipper in Costa Del Sol 33.29. It's just the one deck and you can't access any other part of the ship but it's still better than nothing should any pirates/travellers want to utilise it! I greatly encourage fellow pirate RPers to do so and would hope to bump into some pirates there someday.
