This game is great. The PvP is fun, the atmosphere is light and funny, the physics of the engine used to make the water and cannon combat is obviously cutting edge. Some things are a little rusty and some things are perfect the way they are.
This post isn't about the game, it's about the forum and the wholly unneeded posts which should be pruned often. I'm referring to the people complaining about what the game isn't. This isn't the game you sail around and level up and keep progressing. This game is much more in line to games such as DayZ, or Eve online, where players are attempting to find some good stuff all while evading and keeping their inventories safe. It's about being a treasure hunter and a thief, a bounty hunter and a thief or a merchant and a thief.
Expecting people to be nice to you is not on the horizon and for all the complaining about what's lacking there is very little. It's a goofy Arcady pirate game, not some crazy 1000+ two decade in the making MMO like World of Warcraft. If you want to play WOW then j suggest getting in on the vannila servers when they come out in the future.
If this game is not for you, get over it. Blame Microsoft for their wide as s**t marketing campaign because obviously this game is not going to be for everyone and there are a LOT of people playing it.
