first reply was about your 1st post, i have red more until.
Agree on many points here with most of what people said.
actually the PvP meta is bad and boring and doesnt lead to funny, challeing piratish fights - mostly, not all the time.
The other thing is i think many people dont hoard anymore.
If they do and got wrecked, they comlpain about sailing 4 hours hoarding treasures and then got sunk :)
good challenging fights are rare in this game because of the nature of the community - many pure pvp sink on sight, and some even dont care for loot and also many pure pve achievers and completionists who often dont accept the SoT nature of having PvP.
The people who play as intended and do a good mix of PvEvP have a good time and they risk loot, sometimes they are greedy for anothers loot, sometimes they are not and stay passive minding their own pve business, but are always ready and happy to PVP as long as it's fun and not serious, no trashtalk and no exploits and such.
i like shipfights, we do very well against other ships, even if its two or three sometimes.
Rare need to focus on that, and they do with all that reaper stuff.
Thats PvE to incentivice PvP, but around PvE content.
All the Rum Runner Events we had, the REapers chests, we got a golden version, think of it.
FoTD its all eactly about that. PVEVP!
but what do many people, they refuse one part and do pvp only and use exploits and all is possible just to fight and win for no other reason than to fight and win and the ones who want to grind endlessly without any disturbance an competetive player interaction.
To me as a pvevp player i have the most fun if i meet other pvevp players, who immerse a little, like the pve gameloop, love a good fight between pirates as long as it isnt 4 vs. 1 spawnkilling stuff.
Encourage Rare to imprive the game an to have more PvEvP players and les and less of the extremes of only one side of the medal.
Playing as intended is sper fun to me for 2 years now.
There is no other game i enjoyed that much for that long.
And i do always PvE with PvP in mind and ready to face it or to be the one who comes for you :)
