Tried to get a friend into Sea of Thieves and he quickly decided that he had no interest in progressing through the game due to realizing that a vast majority of the coolest cosmetics in the game are time limited and with the only meaningful progression in the game being cosmetics he does not care to continue playing.
On one side of things, I think it's a shame since the game is great but on the other side of things, I understand where he is coming from with the events he played during giving terrible rewards in the past 6 months while rewards from a couple of years ago were significantly better.
Felt bad telling him each time he saw an awesome cosmetic and asked how he could get it to tell him that he could not.
Does anyone else have similar experiences with bringing friends into the game and how to handle it?
Should Rare bring stuff back? Would bringing some stuff back and others not be fair like PL curse and not wandering reaper (prob not). Or should stuff just stay locked forever?
