It's pretty much a moot issue since the promotion is almost over, but in case something like this is reused for a quest... Was running through Red Sun working on the quest. Was in the middle of doing the secret labs level and noticed that none of the pirates after Red Beard's escape counted towards the total. ETA: Correction--it appears to just be the pirates that come from the portal next to the anti-toxin room that don't count. I would've checked further, but I paused to write this and got disconnected. Lol! I didn't depend on the on-screen counter in case that was the issue, but checked my quest log after each kill--didn't count.
I'll give it another run and see if it repeats or how far the moratorium on pirates extends past Red Beard. After running it, it appears that most, if not all, the pirates right after Red Beard count, but the portal guys do not.
