So There's been a lot of backlash about this. And for a mix of reasons.
They are calling him a cheater, though he has streamed the entire thing and only did what the game allowed him to.
Basically what he's done is used his great number of followers/subbers that play the game to 'boost' his way to 50 in every faction. They do all the work of the questing/fetching, then when they are ready to turn it all in for the reward they kick one of the other players and let him join. They did this 16 hours a day for a week and a half and got him all the way there as the first Pirate Legend! It's all on twitch, you can watch them do this.
The thing is, and probably 90% of the backlash is because, he doesn't know how to play the game.
Last night, when he received the 'Legendary Pirate Quest' he read a one liner riddle and just sat there for about 40 minutes. Then he started going through the menus and his inventory and didn't even know how to move stuff around or sort stuff in his inventory.
He doesn't know how to play the game. Like AT ALL. It was pretty hilarious, and a little baffling to watch.
This is interesting for a number of reasons here. First, using this method, someone that doesn't have the slightest idea of how to sail or block or even change his gear is able to get the 'Legendary Pirate' status which is really entertaining by itself. But Secondly, Rare is supposedly going to make him honored in the game for this feat lol. Will be really interesting to see how this all plays out.
The most interesting thing for me is to see what the Legendary Pirate 'end game' is going to be, as implemented so far. It's been hinted at, talked about and teased in some videos. So very soon, hopefully, we're going to see what the end game content really is.
Is it going to be more fetch quests with harder skelly's? Is it going to be entirely new content we've all been waiting for? Or is it going to be Kraken like, all tentacles with no substance?
And relevant:
"You must be the worst Pirate I've ever heard of."
"Ah, but you HAVE heard of me..."
UPDATE:
Endgame has been revealed-
The Pirate Legend amounts to the following:

Endgame has been revealed-
The Pirate Legend amounts to the following:
- An outfit
- A little ghost pirate zone
- A faction that is just a mix of the 3 factions
- A ghost pirate outfit for that faction rep
