Why is the option to scuttle and change servers the first option. Players like me who have been playing since day one are so use to the way it was that I can't tell you how many times I've quickly scuttled, just to pick the wrong one by mistake and there is no way to stop it once you pick it. You should be add an option to ask if your sure. I use the scuttle option as part of my strategy sometimes. Like today a reaper sunk the open crew new players I was with so I got on their ship and stole their athena chest. I buried it and was going to come back for it, but they were camping the island. I was going to lure them away, row in and scuttle to get away with the chest, but noooooo, stupid me did it too fast and chose the wrong option AGAIN. I hate this option. Good thing I threw the map bundle overboard
Scuttle and change servers needs to change.

Stuff like that I wonder if it was done intentionally as an attempt to cut down on drama over camping
Wouldn't be a bad way to cut down on some of it while still keeping voluntary action involved.
I'm very confident this was the case, especially since the older scuttle option looked very last-second shoved in when this feature was introduced (the menu option wasn't properly labeled for everyday gameplay and instead labeled for developer UI testing).
Someone in QA testing must have liked the older scuttle, but the devs put inexperienced players first before the "strategic" older players used to utilizing the mechanic for stealth plays.
This is the best of both worlds, but man is it going to catch so many of those "strategists" (especially solo sloops) off guard because the option is not where they expect it to be.
That would be the meaning of 'again'. It's a matter of habit. I've been so use to the same thing for the past 5 years and I don't scuttle often, but when I do I just end up doing it so fast I forget sometimes that I have to click down one extra time lol.
