Ideas for Safer Seas

It would be nice if the rep level was back to 50 (in exchange, nerf the rep gain a bit to compensate

Wouldn’t matter. Less or more. Depends on how much time you spent only changes and since, “no risk” the reward is much greater now.

It would be nice to have Captained Ships in Safer Seas because realistically, letting players sell to the Sovereigns isnt going to break the game

That called a perk. Captains having a 1 selling point location helps with rush and fight against risk. No risk why don’t need an easy selling point?

As for Sailing a captain ship and decorating it. Sure why not. But no other perks
I wish they just make it. If you sell loot to there representatives (factions) you get x2 loot price

The other factions can stay High Seas only (Athenas, Reapers etc) Those are high value factions and should stay in the PVPVE mode.

And people will later complain they can’t do reapers or Athena in SS. Asking why they weren’t allowed first place like the rest.

If the above things were implemented, it would make Safer Seas absolutely perfect and High Seas would of course still be lucrative for those who want that PVP experience.

Let just cut the thing.
OP wants a pve server only, with full benefits, remove the pvp from pvpve because of reasons. Idk I always chuckle and sigh when people play this game. (Some didn’t even pay for it) and want it downgraded to play solely pve. Next they be wanting offline mode

None of these things should happen!

Safer Seas is not the main game
You're supposed to play high seas
Rare wants you to play high seas

You already get no risk = low reward, while it should be no risk = no reward.
Be grateful safer seas is even a thing.

Rare probably wont give in to safer seas demands again, as they know if they do give in, the complaints about it will never stop and in the end it could deal great harm to the game.

So, while I agree with the capitaincy and selling to barons, I'm absolutely against raising the maximum level to 50.
In reality, the only thing that should exist in Safers Seas is at least the possibility of sailing with your own ship (with or without milestone progession) and why not selling to barons (even if, obviously, barons are a bit of a carrot given to players to go to the high seas), I don't see how that would ruin the experience.

As for the players (or moderators) who say that this will never happen, I'd like to remind you (again) that you should NEVER say NEVER, haven't you learned your lesson?

Tbf, mods are saying what Rare is telling them to say at any point in time. If Rare tells them "never", they need to say "never", until Rare backtracks on their current "vision".

Can't blame mods really for Rare being occasionally spineless.

@Vladolak

On the topic - I don't have anything against Captaincy without progression (so what you unlock Captaincy-related on HS, you have access to in SS, but can't progress/unlock on SS). I also think PvE oriented players would be willing to spend more on Emporium (captaincy cosmetics) if it was allowed in SS, but ofc Rare knows best if it's worth it or not, as they have all the data.

Regarding Sovereigns, I'm indifferent, as it is tied to Captaincy. So at the same time it would make sense to allow them as well, but also not (as an incentive perk of HS, and because they're really not needed when you're alone on the server).

I also think rep should stay as it is - again, as an incentive for HS. SS is basically an easy mode, so I think it should be treated as such. If you wanna grind up rep, feel free to hop into HS. It's not that you need to be an emissary to raise it, so that's not an issue really even if you're inexperienced and/or hate PvP. Take yo time.
