>>> Other things aren't correct either:
* Pirates didn't do quests
* They didn't fight skeletons
* They didn't teleport
* They didn't sail into public harbors to have their ships repaired
* They didn't fire bolts or fury
etc ...

Well as to any myth - pirates may not have had homes per se and were good
family fathers - but this is not entirely true.
Privateers did though but this is another story. Privateers were not actual pirates.
They were war "employed" by governments and was approved by a letter of
Marque. And some of these culprits DID have homes and families.
Not ALL that did pirateering or privateering were homeless though.

And besides if you don't like a home - you can always create a hideout or a guild
residense.
And ... if it is implemented - don't buy a spot or build - nobody forces you ... really simple.
And since you voted nay - then your opinion counts

Quotes:
Brethren of the Coast
Was there an organized pirate government? The simple answer to this question
is "no".
This is especially true of the depiction of a pirate government in Pirates of the
Caribbean:
At World's End.
Despite the legends in books and movies, no real pirate government existed.
However, several sources, including Johnson's General History of Pirates claims
that organized pirate settlements formed in Madagascar. Tortuga and the
Bahamas also lay claim to large pirate settlements. These settlements were not
actually pirate governments as much as they were ungoverned territories where
pirates could live without fear of civil authority.
Books and movies often portray wild towns with lost of shooting, loose women,
and endless drinking. While this may have happened on occasion no town could
survive for years with such anarchy. Other portrayals seem to reflect some
complex confederation with pirate some how controlling the anarchy. In reality,
no pirate settlement really reached a level of actual government in the strictest
since of the words. At best, pirates may have joined together in loose
confederations or clans and dispensed vigilantly justice, similar to other frontier
towns. The Brethren or the Brethren of the Coast is simply a term applied to
pirates and smugglers living in frontier settlements away from formal jurisdiction.
