I was queuing for a match solo (Asian server) and it takes ages to get a match. I ended up giving up and canceling the matchmaking and I just so happened to spot a reaper galleon nearby full of Chinese pirates. I shoot myself over and try to TDM some of them a little bit. Of course they were competent and one of them one blundered me but I couldn't believe what I saw... the dude had the GOLDEN Ghost Curse already. If I'm not mistaken you need to be level 1000 to get it, to which I don't know too many streamers, let alone some of the best SOT players aren't even close to breaking 500. Then it hit me, maybe because the Asian servers are so dead, all someone needs is about 8 players to farm allegiance since no one is even playing the new pvp mode, the only thing I can imagine is they are intentionally queuing up against each other and instantly scuttling to rack up an insane streak number and then cashing in for a TON of allegiance. Since there aren't any pirates queuing up, they will always get the same match with the same pirates over and over again! I'm unsure if this is how but I can't see any other explanation as to how they are racking up so much allegiance so quickly, unless there is some crazy exploit going on but does anyone else see how completely unfair this is?
Possible Allegiance Farming on Asian Servers!?

It's been a month. Someone who plays SoT 5 hours a day and has around 90% win rate could had grinded the golden curses by now.
How long would it take me? I run away from PvP. I’ve beaten one kraken, one ghost sloop and I killed another player with my sword when he boarded my ship and dropped my anchor as I was leaving a port. I play between 1-3 hours 5 days per week on average, and started playing one week before season 8 dropped. Oh, and I sunk a ship in hourglass that was unmanned. 🤣
@arch-ideall true, even with a 90% win rate they still have to consistently find a match, so no I still don't believe that getting the gold curse is possible within a month, also I've figured out how the exploit works and I will possibly discuss it in a bug report, I'm unsure about how it works entirely but I was able to convince someone to let me in on their "grind". They've told me that they have gotten the golden ghost curse in about a week of doing the exploit everyday. Before it even begins they were doing a lot of prep work, the entire server has to be in an alliance essentially. They were all speaking chinese so I didn't understand exactly what was going on but I have a general idea.
@arch-ideall This guy has the golden ghost curse, in no way does the video show the players name, or other details, he has it cropped out, the exploit is 100% real I tell you! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfdSs_Xjw54

@bapeyape im fairly certain that player used cheats. there are some emotes ive never hear of
The only one I didn’t recognize by name is the “Tentacle Thrash” but the icon matches the “Squid Dance Emote” on the wiki. So it might be a translation or rename thing. Here’s the wiki of emotes https://seaofthieves.wiki.gg/wiki/Emotes
@captain-coel That’s part of the animal emote bundle. So think they just bought the bundle and maybe it’s named slightly different in their language so it translates different than on the wiki.
