There are some issues which make me hate this mode. And im Leaving the cheaters and the Exploit unseres out of the list. The fact when Sailing alone and Meeting two opponets. There should be better matchmaking. The fact that everbody can join the fight. The burning blade or ships that have an alliance. There should be a special area for pvp fights. A separate Areal. It is supposed to be a 1ship on 1ship fight. Or include alliance battles with mode ships in each side. Fighting in devils Ridge. Even winning a battle by the opponent getting hit by volcanos isnt fair and unsatisfying. Getting attacked by a meg during a fight is also kinda silly.

@soulhunter2185 I think it was intended mainly as a way to not split the community.
Everyone sail on the same seas. (wich was one of the problem with Arena)There as been moments where I fought in such chaotic cases, but it is very rare (maybe 1% of HG matches).
However the HG mode is not without its flaws.
While I think fighting in the open seas is not that bad of a problem, I do think:- We should be tagged with equal supplies (no crates, 200 canon balls, 100 planks, 30 mangos would be fine for instance.), I'll make a post about this.
- We should earn streak for sinking a reaper or athena emissary random ship on the seas.
@guildar9194 why not? When i am solo in a 1ship i want matchmaking 1 in 1. And i definetly dont want other Chips invade the combat. And diving with the hg brings me on a fight with a sloop with 3 Guys on it. I dont See Tour point

My point is that PvP and PvPvE players said the 30% cap on rewards for Safer Seas was 'fair' because 'Less risk = less rewards'.
And now we have PvP players literally turning around and saying 'We want instanced PvP to remove the risk of third-party attacks. Oh, but we should have full rewards'. So PvP players are literally saying they want what they told PvE players they should never have.
Hypocrisy.You can want 1v1 matchmaking. But Hourglass was never marketed as a '1v1 experience'.
It is a way to quickly find a PvP fight. That's all.If you want what is the PvP equivalent to Safer Seas, then it should have the reward equivalent of Safer Seas.
Fair is fair.As it is, the hourglass was not designed exclusively as a 1v1 fight, it was designed for pvp on demand.
Honestly when it first launched and you could get rep as a 3rd party, it actually felt exciting when you would see some one on your side fighting and you could sail in to help them. It felt like an actual war, but because of a few bad apples using a server alliance to exploit that rep they removed third party rep. And i hope they return the third party some day.
@guildar9194
Ok i could live with that. Getting less rewards but having a Chance is much better then getting penatratded each 2 or 3 rounds by a third Party ans getting zero.Hg has always been sold and shipped as PvP on demand people keep saying "it's supposed to be 1v1" it takes place in high seas for a reason so it's never really been 1v1. PvP in this game is heavily strategic start communicating with the opponent to see if you can team up to take the 3rd party down (that's worked countless times for me) or just drop back and stay away and let them duke it out before you jump back again

I'm sure it happens and it's unfortunate when it does, but just know that this is how Rare designed the mode to be, since they didn't design it around a separate server like Arena was. With each dive, there's always that risk.
