Hello, I am fairly new to the Sea of Thieves and I have been enjoying it quite a bit. However there are many times where I don't have any mates to sail with and as such am either forced to go it alone or try my luck with open crew.
Thing is, open crew is great if you are just looking to sail, but if you are wanting to do something specific, it's not so great. You not only have to wait for players that will stick around, but will agree with what you want to do. So I figured some sort of tagging system may be beneficial for open crews so you get like minded players on a boat together. If you want to do fleets, tall tales or something like run a Reaper's emissary ship, just put that as a tag and be grouped up with with players who also have that tag. It would make life a bit easier for those with less friends to play with.
