Respectfully disagree, here.
PvE is not inherently difficult, yet there are multiple, very cool looking curses for anyone to go out and obtain. Some are more of just a grind than anything else, really. I don't have any issue with the Ghost and Skeleton curses being locked behind PvP, as it finally gives something very meaningful for PvP players to strive for, after Arena's closure. If you see someone with a Ghost or Skeleton curse, they're either really good at the game, and have something to show for it, or they're hackers lol.
Point being, I don't see any issue with PvP players getting something unique, and if players want the curses bad enough, they'll hone their skills and earn it like the rest of us. Heck, I'm only around 30 in each faction, and it's definitely a grind, but will be all the more worthwhile, once I finally earn it.
Ok, but, it's not... Loss farmers already have both curses so it's not a PVP player exclusive cosmetic. It's a PVP exclusive cosmetic, which admittedly is a small and nuanced difference. Any player can and have already earned it. So let's lose the pretense that this cosmetic is for PVP'ers because, it's not. It's for anyone who is willing to invest the time to get it. And unless you're independently wealthy, a troglodyte in mommy and daddy's basement, or a professional content creator, the time commitment to get these is just way too high.
I don't know if I'm a casual or committed player; I play Sea of Thieves most nights but only for 1-4 hours. I guess it makes sense that it would take me 2-4 times longer to get the curses than a content creator. But I would really expect to have earned them before the next season's new content is released. I don't know what they're releasing in S9 (not an insider), but it looks like I'm just gonna ignore it to keep grinding on these curses. I think that's a huge disservice to the team that is working so hard to release S9.
