We haven't, but we do know they exist. Eorzea traded with them in recent history, actually, prior to the calamity, if memory serves me correctly. Their ships would dock in Limsa and were routinely inspected by Mealvaan's Gate. Eorzea technically wasn't at war with them until the renewed aggressions in 1572.
Ah, alright.
I'm still questioning the advisability of ragged privateer crews with inferior arms taking on the Garleans and their magitek at sea (and questioning even more so why the Garleans would willingly expose themselves by being at sea in the first place), but I suppose the crews in question could make it work, especially if they cooperated.
This still leaves the issue of a small band of do-good "thieves" policing Limsa's underbelly (how have they not been overrun and wiped out by other gangs and crews is beyond me, especially given their guild's single, static hideout). If you take Limsa at its in-game size and population, it makes sense. If you go by lore and the implications that Limsa is bigger and more densely populated than it appears in-game, then rogues' ability to enforce the code becomes much more questionable.
(Milala is supposed to be a character that you love to root against, I didn't find her smirk(s) to be creepy so much as taunting.)
