This has probably been posted before but I would enjoy the game infinitely more if there was a peaceful adventure mode where I could just play with my friends and not have to deal with toxic players ruining our fun. This seems like a basic thing to add to the game that would dramatically improve everything about the game. I understand it's the point of the game to be a pirate but damn.... [Mod edited]
Adventure Mode
@thecrazymumbler over exaggerations and incorrect definitions of toxic gameplay aside, you will want to post your request here:
Hi,
This has probably been posted before
Yes, only one or two times hehe.
but I would enjoy the game infinitely more if there was a peaceful adventure mode where I could just play with my friends and not have to deal with toxic players ruining our fun.
That's nice. Oh well.
This seems like a basic thing to add to the game that would dramatically improve everything about the game.
Impossible, it won't improve everything...you mean it would just make your game play easier.
I understand it's the point of the game to be a pirate but damn....
With this request, no offence, but I'm not sure you do understand the point as you say.

I wouldn't choose to use those words to describe players who are merely playing the game as it was intended to be played. You are sort of calling the devs at RARE [Mod edited] de facto because they created the environment for this. But just to borrow your words, I will adopt your vernacular for a few seconds and say;[Mod edited]
Cheers
That last part of your post is your problem and the problem within the environment
2 sides going at each other and escalating situations that should be short and moved on from instead it becomes something more than it needs to be then one side claims victim when really it's 2 sides going at it
This game is super easy when you're efficient, productive, and hold yourself accountable for your own fun.
Spending hours running or arguing with people isn't any of that. Arguing back and forth and accusing people of toxicity isn't any of that. Playing the victim as a pirate isn't any of that
Join server
be efficient
sell
rinse repeat until you have interactions you don't want or like
leave server
join server
be efficient
sell
rinse and repeatEvery negative interaction in this game should be no longer than mere moments because you have the power to control how long it lasts.
Abandon negativity and spend all that time otherwise wasted on a new server experiencing a new adventureNo escalations, no wasted time, no victimhood
just fun and just long term success even with momentary strugglesI got my butt whooped 4 times yesterday on 4 different servers and I lost more loot than most when they sink. Not a usual thing. No biggie. Took the beating and kept at it. No wasted time accusing anyone or talking smack or any of it. Took the losses and kept sailing. It's that easy.
Here is something that doesn't get brought up nearly enough. Those of you that lose and have a hard time handling it, every one of you would take stolen loot and sell it if you had won. Every one of you would rob me in certain situations and you would rob everyone else.. No matter how hard you try to play victim or separate yourself from piracy you are one of us. You must feed just like us. Embrace it.

This is not the type of game to play peacefully without other player interactions, whether positive or negative. By "toxic," I assume you mean people who sink you and steal your treasure, which is not toxic.
Adding a PvE mode would only boost the experience of half the playerbase, and would ruin the experience of the other half. You could claim that that is what is happening now, but in this game, if you keep an eye on the horizons and don't blindly trust anyone claiming to be friendly, it's very hard to lose treasure.
This is not a PvE game. It's not a PvP game either. It's a PvPvE game where all types of players can come together to play the video game and have some interactions with each other, for better or for worse. We are all pirates at heart.
Also there's a megathread on this topic:

@alphawolf123905 all depends on server and time of day I think. I play mostly weekdays during daytime hours. I find most of my servers are either half empty or full of ships that stay online for one island then log out.
Yesterday I almost didn't run ashen vaults due to a reaper at ancient spire. Turns out he just sat at the dock for over an hour with the emissary up then randomly logged at some point.
I am sure weekday nights and weekends are way busier in terms of both ship numbers and PvP.

Hi,
Bit daft as I was only quoting what he said, but ok. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Might be better to drop an anchor on this and send it to where it should be in the megathread though.
Cheers
Ahoy, going to be dropping anchor on this thread as we have a dedicated Mega thread here: https://www.seaofthieves.com/forum/topic/126843/mega-thread-pvp-and-pve-playstyle-discussion
