@nabberwar said in Why you should add private worlds:
I can speak for only myself, but regardless of whether I sink or not, I still have fun. I don't hinge fun with success. It seems silly to me that we will have all these posts moaning about time wasted, was it truly wasted? Did you not enjoy the comradrie with your crew? Was it not fun decipher maps/riddles to lead to the treasure? It boggles my mind that the minute people like that sink, its like suddenly, all that fun just didn't happen. All this comes off as is a sore loser mentality, when fun only happens when winning
I'm with you. I have a lot of fun even if I lose.
The problem a lot of people have (and I know this because I play with a ton of people from the Discord) is that they turn the game on with the sole purpose of grinding levels and commendations. Not for fun, but for "work." They turn the game on whether they want to or not, and then they put the voyage down whether they want to or not.
They're measuring the value of their time investment by rewards earned in game, and I have no sympathy in that case. I learned this big time when I was still leveling up in Athena. People on Discord who would say absolutely nothing while playing, got angry at me for wanting to divert from the task at hand when I saw another ship or another PvE threat I wanted to engage with, and just sounded like a mindless work drone.
That's another unspoken angle of PvE servers. A lot of these people just want a place where they can get their "work" done without being inhibited, which is a completely ludicrous reason to ask for PvE servers (which as we know are already ludicrous for Sea of Thieves without a reason to ask for them)
