Take the base premise and turn it on it's head

@oneeeyedwilly I think this would require a reprogram of the entire games premice. for one you wouldnt be able to level up the other factions from what i understand, and that would make leveling even harder. Nobody wouldve reached pirate legend by now if this was the case.

I was just thinking... It would be cool if the servers were setup like elder scrolls online. Increase server population by a factor of 10. Have each crew join one of the factions (gold hoarders, order of souls, and merchant alliance). Put them in a server that will roughly balance the factions. Have 2 Outpost as the home bases for each faction. Have the 3 factions fight for control of the seas! U do missions for your faction, or steal the loot for the other 2 factions. What do u think? Massive fleet battles! Capture the flag activities. Teamwork and still pvp.

Cool idea, It's not sea of thieves though so not in this game.

Your missing my point. Yo can switch factions whenever you log into a server. Once you're there you progress in the faction you picked for that session just like normal. I.e. all your quests are that one faction. You can still rep in the other factions by stealing loot, sinking ships, doing skull forts, capturing the other factions flag, etc...etc...

@oneeeyedwilly ok but still, alot of people would go with their own friends and do voyages instead of faction things. Would be cool though

I like it the way is it! I like just goofing off with my friends not going into the game to fight

I mean this is all just a starter idea, I'm sure there are ideas that could make it better. I see it as a way to get people to have so much more to do without needing dlc. It encourages teamwork and gives people common cause. Instead of just saying "leave everything as is" maybe offer a suggestion on how to make the idea better.
