This has kind of been mentioned before, but I thought it'd be fun to being up again...
Why can't we help a crewmate carry some of the larger, 2-handed loot items like chests? I think it'd be pretty cool to help them carry it, and together the reduced weight between them would allow both to run with it, but at the expense of the firepower needed to protect it and the coordination needed to move it. This wouldn't change anything we currently have now - it just adds an additional potential option to promote teamwork in a different way.
You could even have a pirate let go and fall down if pulled in the wrong direction long enough in order to prevent potential griefers.
Can you imagine how funny it would be to see 2 drunken pirates trying to haul a chest of a thousand frogs? 🤣
