So I was teamed up with someone and we were both working on merchants, we had to deliver 6 chickens to plunder outpost (1 red, 4 black, 1 gold). Along the way, we got a message in a bottle for a crate of cannonballs ( deliver to plunder outpost as well, and we had plenty of cannonballs) plus another message for 3 chests (found 2 seafarers and a marauders).
We got to plunder outpost but we're followed by another sloop. My thinking was to cash in the chickens as quick as possible. We anchored and these guys anchored just behind our sloop and started shooting cannonballs, but none of them hit the lower haul, only the upper where the map table is, meaning that our ship wasn't gonna sink fast or barely sink at all.
We just cashed in our chickens, chests, and the crate of cannonballs, and neither of the 2 guys came over to steal our stuff until we sold all of it. Then when they ran out of cannonballs (again none of the cannonballs hit our lower haul and I assume they ran out cause they stopped firing them...), they try and ram us. One of them used a gun powder barrel on our ship but did more damage to their ship, plus I was repairing while making sure no one came to kill me, which they didn't.
My partner killed both of them, and their ship was sinking, while ours was patched up. We watched as their ship sank. What in the world? Did you guys really just fail that badly?
I'm sorry, but I'm just amazed at these guys and laughing my head off too. They attacked us, which for the most part we had chickens which aren't worth a lot unless on voyage to deliver them, we sold our stuff without a single one of them coming to take any of it, they can't hit a good spot on our ship, they did more damage to their ship with a gun powder barrel than us, and they failed miserably at doing anything of worth to us and humiliated themselves...talk about epic fail...
It's these kinds of people I'm disappointed with cause you just want to attack for no reason other than it's part of the game (which I can't stress enough, just because you can doesn’t mean you should...), but sadly you can't even attack people correctly and humiliate yourselves more than anything. To these people, I don't want to offend you, but give up on this game and try another game or hobby, you're not going anywhere with your actions especially if you fail badly like these guys.
