I been playing sea of theives of 3 years now and I seeing my favourite game starting to die it's not just me but many people in our community are concerned about the future of the game we have made the memories here with our friends sailing the sea doing world events for the first time sinking ships and much more. But seems like the game is losing its momentum the lastest update are not attracting players to hop on the seas again and overall the game feels boring</p>
<p dir="auto">I don't know that the developer are dealing with in the back but you guys need to wake up because at this rate the game will die the main reason for this are-</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p dir="auto">No meaning full update the game feels the same even after updates and it does not give a new experience for the player and recently the cancellation of the kraken update have made players furious</p>
</li>
<li>
<p dir="auto">Time limited events players are not happy about time limited events since they are forced to experience it now or the will miss out and the do not get enough time to engage with it</p>
</li>
<li>
<p dir="auto">Lack of progression and no use of in game currency after a player reaches pirate legend he has no real motivation to play more then for cosmetics and he stops playing and players are just hoarding on currency because they have no use expect to buy cosmetics</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">I think there is still a good window to fix the game but you also need to listen to the community to give player what they want you guys have wonderful partner such as phuzzy bond, captain falcore, Hibotc etc so listen to and it's ok if the game needs to go into maintenance for a few months it's fine we would prefer that then a dead game<br>
Here are fews of ours demands-<br>

I legitimately don't know how this game is still alive, but it is, and the player count is still really high, and the game is still considered a Game pass flagship product, so whenever I hear the game is dead, trust me, it will SOMEHOW survive.</p>

<p dir="auto">Give a valid source. But we don't know you don't have one and this is 100% yapping lol. On the contrary, HG change is super popular and drew people in.</p>
<p dir="auto">After this line alone I can't even bother to read the rest of the doom post. Can't take you seriously lol 😂</p>

<p dir="auto">Well, that's disappointing. One would think you'd figure things out so far.</p>

<p dir="auto">What a shocker. Ppl parroting their streamers and not having their own opinions. What's next? You gonna tell me the Earth isn't flat?</p>
<p dir="auto">There's also so much thought put into this post almost as if ChatGPT wrote it. The only thing reassuring is the bad grammar/missing interpunction in several places. And that's not a flex, same as those alleged 3y of playtime. 😅</p>

<p dir="auto">I could be 100% wrong here, but it sounds to me as if you're quoting from someone else. When you say you've been playing for 3yrs now, I assumed you've been busy in-game, doing the seasonal content, etc. since you list the reasons why the game is dying (while telling the developers they need to wake up). Yet with just 9 days played, and the fact you haven't done anything from season 17 and 18, I'm curious where/how you formed your ideas, then you post a video from Capt. Falcore that was 2 months ago, ignoring the praises he gave in his most recent video for the current hourglass changes.</p>
<p dir="auto">As for "after a player reaches pirate legend he has no real motivation to play more then for cosmetics and he stops playing..." it's up to you to decide what's fun. If I listed the hilarious shananigans my crew and I have done, you'd be dying with laughter. There's too many for me to list, but thank goodness we have videos and clips. Many of our past hilarities have become inside-jokes/memes for us. Recently we were chasing a brig, they sent a boarder, he dies at the top of our ladder, and then says to his crew (open mic), "I anchored them but they caught it," LOL.</p>
<p dir="auto">My crew and I create our own fun, even though we're pirate legends (and have been for years now), and have millions of gold, with every cosmetic purchased. The game is what you make of it. The hilarious antics we're guilty of, and the amazing players we meet along the way, is what keeps us playing.</p>

<p dir="auto">Yeah, because the community are all experts in gaming development.</p>

<p dir="auto">Give them what they NEED, not want.  If you got everything you wanted, you end up with no future to progress in life.</p>
