I've always seen it as a very controlling military dictatorship and the free spirit of pirates no more than a facade to keep the groups in line. Let them believe they have more freedom than they really do, because it's an easy way to maintain control. I feel like were any group to step out of line they would be crushed pretty quickly.Actually, I'm not good on Limsa lore and all that, but my understanding is that they were all a large crews separate and unorganized until they were essentially brought under one main banner. One example of a man being stamped on is the pirate in the Arcanist class quests. By all means he's a pirate and scoundrel, dealing with slaves and whatnot. He's still a "criminal and pirate." Some people seem to think this means that he could run rampant in Limsa but it's not the case and he's certainly on the wrong side of one authority.
I think their silly explanation for why there is no Thieve's Guild is just fine. They've basically said that the Rogue is Thief in all but name. I don't have an issue with their reasoning, though yes I do think it's "lazy" but eh. I also dislike a bunch of things.
