If I am being honest the reputation system for hourglass is not the best. Rather than having the reputation system be that of merit it is that of time. ( and if I am honest luck) I could be circling a ship for ten hours and get more reputation than if I fought and loss in a short amount of time. One suggestion I have is to have the rep gain be by actions taken. An example would be if you crack someone's mast it would give you rep and if you damaged the hull or wheel same thing would apply. Another one is to have deeds that gain rep win or lose. An example would be to take down a mast or brake a wheel 5- 20 twenty times.
I love sea of thieves and would hate to have people quit the hourglass or even the game entirely because the rewards for hourglass truly aren't helping the player and it feels more like a kick in the teeth than a fun mode.
