Unexpected Hackers

    I'm a long time player stationed overseas since last year. Playing in this server region has given me a glimpse into an absolutely bizarre trend in Adventure Mode; namely pure PVE players using hacks.

    This is by no means a 'Rare Bad' post, nor a vent/rant topic. It's just been strange enough that it felt worth it to remark on these players overseas, just this week alone I've encountered 2 instances of blatant auto-repair with sprinklings of questionably sharp aim.

    Whenever I withdraw my ship from battle, these players never give chase, even though they could unquestionably sink me via attrition (I can't possibly triumph against a boat with only 1 respawning player currently in the Ferry whose ship drains of water, fully repairs and quenches all fire patches on the top deck.) They just go on with their business of presumably doing PVE & grinding.

    Never believe anything you hear on the internet I suppose, but it does beget belief about how some countries have players strapped with hacks the way most players just have a favorite mouse or keybind setup, to go into a day of grinding with such robust cheats seems like overkill for doing vaults or world events.

    @na-cryptid if you suspect players of cheating, report them with evidence here: https://support.seaofthieves.com/requests/new/246988
    Posting about it on the forum helps no-one.

    Neither does reporting players who are/are not cheating. I quit playing a year and a half ago because of the completely obvious uptick in the amount of cheaters in adventure mode after arena was removed. Aimbot (all projectiles, cannons, guns, grenades), ESP, etc.

    I come back here every 6 months or so to see if you guys have done anything about the problem, which you havent; as expected. In fact, from what i see in RECENT recordings by people online, your hacking problem has gotten WORSE. Now they can literally flip your boat into the sky?

    Get real. The only people having fun on this game anymore are the ones subscribed to third party cheats, who then prey on the people trying to play the game how it should be played by ESP tunneling through the ocean 6 islands away and then aimbotting you with cannons from the other side of the island with 100% perfect accuracy. And boy, do they LOVE free, effortless loot.

    @manmcbearpig I’ve never seen a forum user more wrong in my entire life.

    @tesiccl Feel free to post your evidence. I'll be back in 6 months to see how the exploits have progressed on youtube and google, as well as the amount of downloads on public hacks, not including private hacks. Hope to see some numbers.

    If you believe a player has been toxic in the game or suspect foul-play, you can report them to Xbox Live here. You can also submit a support ticket via Rare Player Support. As this is a matter for Support and not the Forums, I'll be dropping anchor here.
