Pirates, keep them or ban them, what would you do?

[Pooky]

I don't really need to play with people that bad, it's not fun.

[Rainbow Dash]

[Kornman00]

I say fuck 'em. Most of what's been posted already explains why.

[Dwood]

If I want to play Halo, I have the option of going on 1.09 and playing on 300 ping servers or going to 1.00 and playing on 33 ping servers.
I really can't agree with what most are saying in this thread. You're saying that if you ever wanted to go play Halo, you'd rather you physically couldn't play it rather then play the game you want to play with people who haven't bought an 8 year old game, dead to its developers?

That's dumb in so many ways wtf

I wouldn't want to go play it at all unless I could play with some remotely decent people.

I think most comments made here are very clear about ban them all together, but between lines I'm also reading the following:
Pirates can stay if they can speak english and have skill to provide a good game for the "legal" players.

So this basically means accept those to the community that put up a fair game and are able to talk about it in English.
Correct me if I'm wrong!

The only options are:

1. The game dies
2. The game is kept alive by pirates

It makes no sense to say "I'd rather it be dead." If pirate-friendly = you not playing it, and obviously dead = you not playing it, then what difference does it make to you which one it is? Both options result in you not playing it. Some people enjoy the game regardless of whether or not pirates are playing with them. You want to take that away from them just because you personally don't want to play with pirates?

So why not say "I want bad people to be banned" as opposed to "I want pirates to be banned"?
And shit, what about the other people who just want to play some mother fucking Halo?

The best games I've had recently is with people from /v/ who all download a cracked copy and join the OP's server running custom maps. Only time I've seen anybody play good custom maps in like 2 years actually.

E: lol, semi sniped.
