We really need those closed crews back up ASAP. I was doing Mech voyages with a crew but they had to leave so I was going to continue. I still had over 60 chickens aboard, tons of crates, And quite a few gun powder barrels. I set out to the next location while waiting for people from my "looking for group" post to join. A random joined by the Gamertag of NotHellFurry. He killed every single one of my chickens and then blew up the ship while I stood helpless and watched as he cursed at me and called me names. Players like this are a cancer to the game. I reported him but that obviously won't do much. I suggest if you are joined by NotHellFurry you brig him right away otherwise your booty is going to Davey Jones.

Remove the gamertag from the op, witch hunting is forbidden in the forum, you might get the thread deleted.

Poor guy, poor chickens! OMG The Golden Feathered ones! You've allowed their deaths needlessly! This sadly will forever curse your future voyages you realize this don't you!
Um... 60 chickens? Yea, that's a safe number to maintain aboard a presumably, sloop?
I'd feel compelled to sink you simply for the sake of pure joy in watching that many crates fill the seas at once! Don't even get me started on the ping bug a few sword swipes will create by hosting that many crates on a ship, regardless of size.
Once the Allmondbeard errors stop and the new patch can finally be incorporated properly, closed crew sessions don't exist. Once the patch is applied, they will be. This will protect your from Rando grief much better. There are no tools for it yet.
And yea... remove the name... first the player was rude and annoying, but not like the player actually broke any rules. Your post on the other hand is in direct violation of the forum rules by including the name of the player, especially since aside from troll you he did nothing literally 'wrong' just mean.
I understand your frustration. No one likes to see their effort vanish into thin air. If we ought to fetch a silver lining here, I'd say this helps you grow stronger too. Of course the benefit is wasted in currency and reputation, but if you didn't have this awesome determination I sense you do have, you would have given up already. Take a deep breath and give yourself credit coz you've earned it.
Note: You can ease on the name here and drop it in peace. I appreciate your concern. Rest assured that the issue will be dealt with by the private crew feature when it returns. We don't need the name. ^^
@th3-ch4dw1n merchant cheese has already been patched. All they did was collect animals ahead of time and are visiting each port just like normal they probably also had a bunch of snakes and when getting voyages they canceled any that required pigs. This method isn't an exploit and is pretty much the only valid way to do merchant effectively currently.
It would be just like doing merchant normally just that they collected all the animals ahead of time to be a little faster.
@th3-ch4dw1n Also the cheese wasn't forbidden it still took a very very long time to setup and was mostly just efficient compared to having to go to every port on the map. The pace itself compared to doing nothing but OoS or GH voyages was only slightly faster. Without doing it and just doing the voyage normally it was 10x slower.
