I've seen quite a few ships that have been abandoned at the outpost with their emissary flags still up. I assume it's because players don't know to go back to the table and lower them when they're done and that they get gold for doing so. Maybe it should be more obvious that is the case.
Lowering Emissary Flags
@partyinsanjuan they might not care. the amount of gold and rep you get for a flag is so minimal it doesn't really matter
I agree with @PartyInSanJuan that they mustn't know - it's like having extra loot spawn right next to you at the Outpost (right where you're cashing in) and going "nah, can't be bothered" and logging off.
It's by far the easiest money in the entire game: takes less than 2 seconds and carries zero risk or expenditure of resources.
Ain't nobody that rich :)
@absentbiscuit76 While sailing with a friend the other day, he left before turning in a level 5 emmisary flag that we had earned. I was more than happy to turn it in on his behalf and messaged him after to let him know that he missed out on almost 15,000 gold.
@absentbiscuit76 im just shy of 30 million gold and I haven't had anything to spend it on in awhile. sometimes I leave the flag behind for the next crew. it's only 5 k gold.
@captain-coel nice. Sometimes I do the same thing with a chest or resource crates - hopefully they don’t despawn before someone shows up :)
