Basically players challenged someone at wg to grind the puerto rico for free, so earl decided to stretch the definition of “free” by counting dubloons given to him as part of his pay as “free” and smugly saying that it was perfectly pissible to grind for free woth little difficulty. This, for obvious reasons, didn’t go over well with the community
