I'm really sick of being attacked by other crews when my crew is just trying to hunt for treasure for fun but then hostile players attack us and steal our stuff. I've considered uninstalling the game because of the amount of hostile players in every server I'm in. There should be a way to create invite-only servers or at least a way for us to be able to see how many people are in a server so we can choose a small server to be a part of if we don't want to be attacked. Please add this feature so that I won't have to uninstall the game.
Private servers
@sonikku992745 Ahoy matey!
Private servers are still in development, so hopefully, it won't be too long before you can have a server all of your own.
Progressionless of course...
I would suggest taking a look at emissary tables for a good idea of player count, and keeping an eye ou for pesky reaper ships on your ships' map!

Pirate game...
[mod edit]
very much the Toxic element in the Game but paint themselves as the only ones doing everything correctly.
I too am fed up of this Toxic element ruining the game when I'm not interested in PvP and just want to get on with missions and playing the content in the game. which their constant Toxicity is preventing.
don't get me wrong, Occasionally I'm happy to engage in PvP in the Player vs Environment part of the game. but most of the time I wish that these people would just expletive off to the Arena, if they are so keen on a bit of PvP.
Better Rules of Engagement are needed that are enforceable, or a means by which the PvP element can be disabled during the Player vs Environment element.

It seems to me that a lot of the Pro PvP in Player vs Environment mode are very much like Trump Supporters.
Did you just compare people that play the game how it was intended to the same people that stormed the capitol? Jesus dude. Also what Player vs Environment mode? There is none. Adventure is Player vs Player vs Environment mode.

PvPing isn't toxic.

Why'd you buy an open world PvPvE game?

You're not in a Player vs Environment setting. Do you truly believe that Adventure is meant to be a PvE mode? Dear lord...
@mferr11 exactly as expected, Toxic player comes along to Gaslight me about "why I'm wrong" I've played many games like this, but none have been as bad for it.
if you really want to PvP go to the Arena, that is what it is for.
this is from the "welcome to new players thread"
"What Does This Mean?
Sea of Thieves is a game that includes both PvE and PvP elements, it's a combination of both and your voyages will be different each time you log in depending on your chosen goals, the threats (including other players) you encounter and the ships and crews you choose to sail with!"important question there is will the other crews be friend or foe?
it wouldn't be so bad if there was a 50/50 chance, or even 65/35 chance, but without fail it is more like 99.9/0.1 with the 99.9 of them being hostile. that isn't how the game was intended. no matter how much you claim it is.
it enables Toxic Harassment and Bullying play, and that needs to be resolved.

Yikes, yes they sure did. The dramatics of some people when it comes to a VIDEO GAME, ridiculous!
I just been reporting this persons posts.
Why is it those who come here to complain about toxicity create toxic posts????
@krakkersbb This game is designed to be PvEvP by Rare. The whole basis of the game is to be able to do anything you like, including attacking, while having no advantage over others than experience through playing and how well you have developed your skill at playing the game. There is truly toxic people in every game you play. Toxic is defined as slurs, personal attacks, belittling, degrading people...etc. These things should be reported and will be taken care of by Rare or Microsoft. Being a pirate and attacking and taking treasure from other pirates in a pirate game designed to have that as an option is not toxic. I have seen @mferr11 in these forums for a very long time and do not consider them toxic and only see the explanation provided by them as the way the game is intended to be played. As for myself, yes I will sometimes attack others and take their loot. I also at times give others my loot, help them and have most recently just helped a new pirate I met about a month ago reach PL last weekend and I am currently teaching them all the aspects of the game. Granted I originally was going to sink them but realized they were new and in just a few minutes of speaking with them seen their excitement for the game. One of the first things they said to me was I understand it's a pirate game and sometimes others will sink you. Not everyone in this game is toxic though, nor will they all attack you. Most times I can do as I want and never PvP anyone but it can happen. Those of us here that are veterans of the game want people to understand that PvP is part of the game mode. Arena was not designed for those that want to fight. It was designed as a separate game mode. Adventure is made to be able to do everything you could imagine a pirate doing. I do hope you can understand that this is the game design and come to love the game for what it is designed to be. May the wind be forever in your sails and enjoy the seas.

According to your achievements you started playing 10 days ago. In that time you have done 23 voyages, the most amount of chests you've had on your ship at once is 4, and just today in fact did you hit level 25 in one of the trading companies. What I'm trying to say is, you're inexperienced. Do you really think you can judge what 99% of player interactions will be from just 10 days of playing? And by how you describe it, and by going off your achievements, you seem to be a pretty passive player. Have you ever thought to put some effort into creating the player interactions you want? Maybe YOU should be the one to initiate. Go over to that crew and ask if they want to alliance, or trade treasure.
Also you've sunk a ship (achievements, aren't they handy?) so you're also a "toxic bully who harasses people", your words not mine.
@krakkersbb Your post has been edited as it goes against the Forum Rules.
Keep it appropriate. Avoid swearing in unfamiliar company where possible. Don’t post anything containing NSFW material – this has no place in Sea of Thieves or its community spaces. And while we all have opinions of the world around us, people aren’t necessarily playing Sea of Thieves to talk about politics or contentious real-world issues. Switch off, escape and enjoy the freedom of the seas instead.
