Everyone said it everywhere, yet since Rare decided to add it anyway I will say it again here. Adding curses into emporium makes them loose their whole charm and considering adding them as new good rewards for gold you add them for money. Stop flowing all your skins into emporium and start adding normal rewards to regular stores. Curses go behind commedations.
Curses in Emporium
People have been asking for curses in the emporium for a long time. Responses by other pirates was to buy costumes as that’s the closest we’d get. Rare finally decided to give those people what they were asking for. I’m not mad at it. If they quit adding curses to the main game and make them emporium exclusive then I’ll be mad. I don’t feel like either of the curses currently added to the emporium felt like they were ripped from the game and added to the emporium instead.
My grandmother used to have a coffee mug that said “You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time.” And I feel like this is a good example of that saying.
@abjectarity could you please show me where people requested this? I have been checking insta, forum here and youtube for quite some time, and havent seen a single request as such. Could it be on different platforms or maybe I just missed it?
@wolfmanbush that would have to be A LOT of cool kids, since pretty much everyone everywhere saying the curses shouldn't be in emporium. So I kinda doubt that. The whole point of my argument is that Rare is giving 1 new ship sets, 1 full set recolour, 1 new costume and a new curse to emporium, while the regular store gets 1 jacket reskin, and some weapon reskins. There are not enough gold-earnable cosmetics, and rare keeps giving everything to emporium.

who is everyone? the same few hundred people that do most of the talking in sot?
People play this game to have fun, relax, escape, chill with friend or solo. The curse has no significance to the environment because it was just created.
People are just gonna buy it or not buy it and move on with their day. Just like everything else in the emporium.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. I'd rather people buy cosmetics and actually enjoy their time in this game than get involved in one of these "treat it like a job" grinds that might end up nerfed anyway.
Why didn't "everyone everywhere" make a huge fuss about turning the box of secrets into a giveaway item? because they benefited from it, because they want those screenshots and freebies in their captaincy stats. They want the status from an item that couldn't be cheesed for a few years.
I've turned in zero non-organic boxes and I'll never turn one in again because that's supporting actual significance in the environment. I don't participate in pop up plunder anymore because of that.
If the shrouded ghost ever gets cheesed out I guarantee some of the people fired up about this curse will cheese the ghost.
People can buy a curse and enjoy themselves. I want to support true significance in this game.
@guyrza it's the 3rd curse added to the emporium, who cares, it's a noob item because of that.
Also people have been asking for curses in the emporium since the Ruby splash tail costume was added and people wanted that as a curse.
I don't really mind curses in the Emporium, but let's see... three Emporium curses in two months vs eight earnable curses in the five years since they've been introduced. Yeah that seems about right for Emporium/Non-Emporium additions in the game haha.
Since curses can seemingly just be created for purchase now, I hope they decide to add some outside of the Emporium as well. Maybe a phantom curse for Spanish Forts (which still have no cosmetic rewards at all), or merfolk/ocean crawler curses for their respective commendations.
@wolfmanbush if you play for the reasons you mentioned - good for you, seriously. I like the part of game where I dress up the pirate in silly clothes and run around the world like maniac until I get bored. The curses are an amazing type of cosmetic, but if Rare keeps feeding stuff to emporium instead of locking them behind commedations there there will be no new clothes to run around it. SOT isnt free-to-play, and yet Rare starts treating the in-game shop like its fortnite. Play how u wanna play, but I want cosmetics for GOLD or COMMEDATIONS, not real-life money. Simple as that
