Letters of Recommendation Rework

  • Ahoy again!
    In mid-late 2019 I believe the way Letters of Recommendation work was changed to accompany the addition of Reaper's Chests, which would make it easier to obtain doubloons and therefore obtain Letters of Recommendation more easily. I feel this change has been mostly beneficial, but there are some things I would like to see changed. I am already Pirate Legend and therefore cannot buy Letters of Recommendation for the Gold Hoarder, Order of Souls, and Merchant Alliance trading companies. This limits me to only two Letters of Recommendation purchasable each month, one for Hunter's Call and the other for the Sea Dogs. Players who are not yet Pirate Legend or for that case level 50 in any of the Trading Companies are able to buy five total Letters of Recommendation. This means I am able to purchase three less Letters of Recommendation than some other players. To compensate for this, I think players should be allowed to purchase five Letters of Recommendation, spread across any and all Trading Companies, every month. This still allows players to buy a Letter of Recommendation from each company while also allowing players who are already level 50 in a Trading Company or Companies to buy additional Letters of Recommendation for Trading Companies that are not yet level 50. This however could cause a slight increase in the rate at which players can obtain Pirate Legend through Letters of Recommendation. Perhaps a limit of three per month is more suitable or perhaps Rare could come up with an alternative solution. Personally, being able to only purchase one Letter of Recommendation for the Hunter's Call and Sea Dogs Trading Companies is not ideal. Thank you for your time and I wish all a good experience on the seas.

    You're not meant to speedrun the grinds, you're supposed to do them in the background. That's why you're no longer able to purchase as many LoRs as you want at any time. I think they're at a good balance right now - you can boost your way along, but you can't just get there immediately with such a workaround.

  • Why do you want to buy Letters to factions your already lvl 50? Did I miss something?

    Grind your worth. If you grind enough you should at best do 5 levels each month. Maybe more idk how long people play.
    Its reasons like this, pirates will complain about "Having nothing to do" because they bought their way up....

  • I wouldn't mind this mostly because grinding Hunter's Call is the worst and I really want to make sure it's my first rank 50 faction, as it is my favorite faction in the game.

    Sorry, but no... be happy you can buy levels at all. I don't get this not fast enough to max level, just play the game those levels will come.
