Can we get an impromptu Gold and Glory weekend?
The happiest pirate days I ever existed within, when it comes to extra icing on the golden cake were when I had no wealth and even less skill and would try to get villainous skulls, exotic silks, and captain chests to Christmas island for a little bonus
Fighting and dying over a few hundred gold here or there was more fulfilling than the gluttony of piratical progress.

Indeed you speak true. My best memories in this game were an epic back and forth fight over one of the first Captains chests we ever came across. It was stolen back and forth four times before we claimed victory, five paces from the Gold Hoarder tent at Golden Sands (rip)
I just think a little gold and glory would be fun for feeding that greed a little, and make the risk reward even higher. Make that fight over one villainous skull more desperate, Losing that skull would sting a little harder, and the victory a little sweeter with higher stakes.

I think g&g on the fly in general has potential to be a more positive experience
They've committed to community day and we will see how those work out in the future but for planned out and advertised g&g I think it often sets up for more issues even though it's aiming at more activity
People adjust their schedules and make arrangements for a planned event and then there are issues so people get grumpy.
I'd just throw them out there from time to time with no warning especially now with community day being a thing. Might be less people participating but it might also keep the event more stable and exciting.

I love the idea of un-announced events, That would be great! I support this. My crew and I have definitely missed events, we actually missed community day. And that's ok, I am happy people were able to jump in and have a great time with it! We love and play this game when we can, event or not!

@dr-orchamedes One to round off the Season?

One problem with unannounced: people are gonna complain they didn't get to participate because they didn't know...
U snooze, u lose. Ask the barrel emote complaint crew..
I really grow tired of these, tbh.
They put stress on the ledger and the servers making the problems worse.
I don't want people stressing to get their ledgers done at the end of the month and I don't want such events, like community day, drastically upsetting ledger balances. It is bad enough with alliances, which needs to be sorted out at some point.
Alliance servers and discords need to be broken entirely.

At this point the ledger is already reset. So its a new month so there isnt a ledger to get messed up.
If anything it would just give a jump start to March's ledger.
That said I dont think the end of the season needs to be marked by a gold and glory.

I'm just saying in general, not pointing specifics. I think there's too many of these types of events and I have found myself turning up less and less.

Just have to find a different reason to play during a gold and glory. I like it because the seas become active and good for a fight.

Tired of fighting. Tired of toxicity that can come with it. Tired of every boat or crew being Reaper's or wanting to be Reaper's.
It is over done and starting to bore me.
There is nothing wrong with OoS, GH, M, or AF and I'm kind of tired of the metas.
It's time for a shake up. It's time to nerf Reaper.

Then don't run Reaper's?
The emissaries all fill a niche. If I'm doing world events, and/or if I want to attract PvP, why would I run any other flag?
Btw this is the second thread I've found you in, diverting from the topic to rant about something else.
Tired of this, tired of that. I think you're burned out, coffee. The shake up you need might just be a break from the game.

It's time to nerf Reaper.
Reapers carry this game, especially reapers that pve and pvp
imo a nerf to reapers in any way would be a devastating blow to activity and activity is not something we have extra of.
Athena is mostly dead. Maybe the future will change that but it's long been inactive during the organic experience.
People are sneaking around making their gold with lower risk or they just aren't producing much at all. Servers typically have 1 or 2 producers and very often a reaper is at least one of them.
The environment massively benefits from reaper activity. Loot production goes way down with a reaper nerf. Excitement on a server goes way down with a reaper nerf.
It might not fit into everyone's preferences but for activity on servers Reapers is a necessary component in keeping things afloat imo.
Reapers are all this game has to counter the no server investment style of pvp that isn't producing and is contributing very little to a server. Reapers invest and take the risk and produce. They also are the ones typically doing the events. I even see them consistently doing the shrines more than everyone else. Very much benefits the environment.
Given how much content has grown events aren't really worth the time and risk outside of running reapers other than fof being worth it for athena. Inactive world events doesn't really benefit anyone, it's just less loot floating around.

If your tired of fighting and everything that comes with it, then dont play during a gold and glory. I wouldnt agree reaper needs a nerf either. The other companys have pretty solid benefits with the exception of merchant. And im not usually reaping when looking for a fight. I just sail at boats have some fun, cause some chaos.

I do too actually, I just wanted to poke the beehive! (That and I am tired of grinding hunters call, but I shall grind on!)
Alliance servers and discords need to be broken entirely.
1000% agree. Alliance servers should not be allowed to exist.
@captain-coel I don't often participate in G&G these days, hence my comment about growing weary of them. I feel such events inject too much currency into the world and we have them too frequently. That should be an event that is rare and builds up a lot of excitement and hype.
As for Reaper's I won't agree here. I see Reaper's boats so so often, possibly too often.
I think Reaper's makes too much money too quickly compared to the other trade companies. It is why most crew run that TC. That and their ability to hop a server and instantly know where boats are, is problematic.
I understand the value Reaper's brings to the SoT in terms of loot and PvP however, that doesn't mean some balancing might not be in order. But that's not really for me to decide, that's just an opinion.
I think Reaper's very heavily ties into G&G topic because it is what most crew run during those events. Athena is very dead, I think we all know that. I rarely see Athena boats but I do see an uptick in them during G&G style events. At current, that has to be the rarest title in the game for a Reaper (turning in Grade V Athena flags)
You can't sit here and tell me that Reaper's is not the most popular trade company, next to Gold Hoarder because I wouldn't believe it. My experiences tell me otherwise.
