Ahoy!
To help make the Sea of Thieves a safer and fairer place for all players, I’d like to propose a system that rewards players who consistently and accurately report hackers or cheaters with sufficient evidence.
How it would work:
When a player reports another for cheating (with appropriate proof such as video clips or multiple corroborating reports), and the report leads to verified action from Rare (e.g. a ban), that report is marked as "successful."
Players who accumulate a certain number of verified reports (e.g. 3, 5, 10, etc.) could unlock exclusive cosmetic rewards – things like special ship skins, clothing, or titles that reflect their contribution to keeping the seas safe.
These rewards could be purely cosmetic to preserve balance, but they would serve as visible recognition for players who take the time to help maintain the integrity of the game.
Why this matters:
This system would actively encourage more players to report bad behavior rather than ignore it.
It would reward the community’s efforts to support the devs in identifying and removing cheaters.
It creates a sense of shared responsibility, making the seas feel more cooperative and secure.
