Well, ...My Dear Pirate , let them ...It is obviously that they aren't the smartest nor the brightest around...i will never say that i never met those kind of Pirates but they don't catch me anymore , i don't lower myself to their level and so shouldn't you...If it's a different crew then simply outsail them or destroy their ship , if they are too powerfull , then scuttle yer ship , start anew and keep in mind what the colours or flags of their ship were...If they keep succesfully hunt you down , then just start a new game...If this comes from yer own crew, wich is worse , then leave immediatly , they are not worthy of 5 minutes of yer time...
Play a bit more ,on different times and you will see what i mean, you WILL meet Great and Friendly people , simply because they are there and they aren't a seldom phenomenon. There are many Friendly Pirates , oh sure , some will attack you too , but will do that in a sportmanship's way. Not Spawnkilling, not shouting or calling names , just trying to win and steal yer treasures ...And that is not wrong...And then you have a whole lot that have the " i only attack if attacked upon " mentality or Pirates that attack Galleons who attack little Sloops...This Game brings out what lies within. Nomatter how you twist and turn it , your real personality will float to the surface and you will meet not so great people but you will also meet Gems of personalities if ...and only if...you can keep moving forward and put yourself over the garbage that some may throw over you....
There will always be Toxicity in games , also in this one, but i can tell you with my hand on my Heart that this game contains a whole lot of Friendly Pirates that will help you in many ways if you reach out to them...And then...Well, then ,you will really see and "feel" what SOT really is all about and there will be a huge chance that the " Magic " wich comes from Friendship and Acceptance ,will grab you and never leave you...
You may have had a bad experience ,maybe more than one , but i try to motivate you to dig deeper and keep sailing . Eventually you will meet many, much more than you ever did dare to dream, who you will connect with and have Wonderfull, Epic , Thrilling and Hilarious adventures with...
And who are these Trolls actiually? A bunch, since they aren't that strong on their own, barking chihuahua 's who act first out of fear of what could be said about them...Don't let a little tiny dog scare you off , they are afraid of your footstep...Let them bark before you get a headache and search new waters and a lot of other Pirates with a much better mentality...i wish you Good Luck and remember : Those are words, empty ones , coming from scared little punks , even if they may be mature age, you are better and there are a lot of Great people to meet...Aim yer Eye at the Horizon ,Sir , and set sail again in search for Fun, Adventure and Possible Friendship , it is there ...Believe me, for once...
