If other players board your ship they can literally lock you in the death cycle until the end of the game. Today two players have boarded our ship and killed me and my crewmate the second we respawned, then again and again and so on. They kill us with a single shot from behind the back the moment we respawn, like they almost know the exact respawn points. We didn't have even a fraction of a second to move, shoot, choose a weapon or anything. And it happened multiple times. What is the point of allowing such behaviour? They don't really play themselves (they abandon their ship and don't participate in the chase) and they also don't give a chance to other players to...well...play, because they literally lock them in one place.
Instant kill by other players on your ship (Arena mode)

There is the option to scuttle - this will sink your ship and give you a new one in a different location thus breaking the spawnkill-cycle.@onetortoise9418 One reason to do this is for the Arena commendations Sharpshooting Sea Dog, Swashbuckling Sea Dog, Deadeye Sea Dog and High Calibre Sea Dog, where you have to kill 200 players with the pistol, cutlass, eye of reach and blunderbuss, respectively in Arena.
If you're annyoed by people spawncamping you and there's no hope in turning the situation around, just scuttle.

So, the game deliberately motivates players to prevent other players from doing what they are supposed to do in the Arena mode and lock them in the death cycle and force into scuttling their ships? How come?

Because that's how the game works. People play Arena for different reasons: To win games, to practice PvP, to have fun and mess around, or to grind commendations. Blame Rare for the mess Arena is in, but spawn camping is a mechanic in the game that won't be removed anytime soon. It'll happen to you in Adventure mode and Arena mode from time to time. The only option is to scuttle your ship.

The Ferry is not the only place where you can scuttle. In the My Crew screen in Settings is a Scuttle Ship option (bottom left hand side).
@onetortoise9418 Spawn camping is pretty much the meta now, as much as it sucks. RARE won’t be changing arena anymore, so things like this will stay. These one shots were blunderbusses btw, and knowing the spawns on a sloop isn’t that hard. Sucks it happened, but, life’s not fair.
