I started noticing that whenever I had a friend use Leave Game to leave my crew, the Crew Management menu said that they had "disconnected" and that they would be allowed time to rejoin if they wished. Meaning, as I understand it, that if I open up to Open Crew (god have mercy on my mortal soul) an Open Crewer wouldn't be able to join me until that time had elapsed.
Why does Sea of Thieves not seem to know the difference between the app crashing and someone disconnecting, versus someone manually Leaving the Game? If they choose to Leave the Game, it is clear they do not intend to rejoin, so why is my open spot on the crew being held up? Let's be honest, not having someone join from Open Crew could easily end up being for the better, but this seems like it shouldn't be the case.
Also, even with this issue aside, the timer is comically long. I think cutting it in half would be more reasonable. The idea that a DC'd crewmate could take up my spot for what felt like 10 minutes (you can correct my number if I'm wrong) is a little much to bear, when I'm short on hands and vulnerable to full crews.
