Dead Tax to suicide bombers

    Sure, the tax wasn't a good idea and would have favoured trolls and big crews over more chilled out players, carebears, singleplayers, whatever, etc... I'm happy that it got axed but what about a death tax when you die to suicide? It will have ONLY positive effects, please consider it:

    1. Suicide griefers/trolls are punished
    2. People will at least try to not explode while abusing barrels to kills skeletons during a fortress raid
    3. You will be rightly punished for a mistake you'll never repeat

    The main effect that this game absolutely need is to reduce said suicide griefers/trolls. If they had to pay 500g for every suicide there will be surely a decrease of such actions.

    They already announced they would be adding a gold penalty to deaths so what is even the point of this thread?

    No death tax at all, the people have spoken. Thankfully Rare listened.

    Yes, because I should totally be punished for diving aboard an enemy ship mid-combat with a gunpowder barrel, charge into the lowest part of the hull, and accidentally set off the barrel too close to me because the enemy players just realized I got down there. I'm not a troll for that tactic. It is a strategy, although somewhat cheap, I will admit that.

    Also, little tip for many, don't store your gun powder in the hull, store it on top of the sails. They don't take damage and the distance between mast and deck is enough so it doesn't damage the hull.

    The aim of being a Powder Monkey in my opinion is to survive after the explosion. If you time it right you can get on the ladder to their ship and run below deck to prevent the repairs being done, there has been multiple time someone has done a scuicide run on my ship and we have repaid the damage easily.

    It's a legit tactic and it's easy to stop them if you see them go over board. Just dive over board and shoot the barrel, you can usually get them before they get close enough to damage your ship and if your really lucky like me the explosion damages their ship instead.

    It's not a legit tactic. Is cheap and has no sense.

    If you manage to get a barrel to the enemy ship and survive, you're probably skilled. If you just throw it and shoot at it suiciding yourself, is cheap. You should be punished. This community is already toxic as it is, this makes it even worst (and seems like the forum isn't better)
