O-oh no, muh posts, now it's my turn to cry WAAHHHH

@Padd @NotSid-Probably your posts have been deleted. Please refer to The Pirate Code before your next posts.

@padd You've clearly not read the comments properly to understand that there is an issue by not having a vote to kick feature which is so readily available in many other games.

@man-at-arms2112 Which we know now and thoroughly enjoyed the game so far.

@blam320 THIS is what needs to happen. People attacking the OP are the ones who are pathetic IMO. This is online game 101 stuff here. If you are in a crew and one of your friends get disconnected, but then gets back on 10 minutes later, if a random got put in the crew in the meantime it's bad for everyone. Locking the person in the brig sucks, a vote to kick 10 minutes later (if the option existed) would be unfair to a random who DID help instead of just doing nothing, and it's unfair to your friend that he can't re-join you after he gets back online just because of an Internet glitch or whatever.

Weird... I joined a galleon crew about 2 hours ago and I got instantly locked in the brig. I then proceeded to wait for them to claim their treasure since I saw alot of it...

@naoshadowpaws yeah not a problem if it was shared i hope people would see why this could get annoying. I understand we should of backed out and started a smaller galleon. Learn for next time

It cost you nothing. Relax and have fun. It's a small ocean. 👍

@padd Whats pathetic about asking a question.
You've obviously got an opinion and no one elses seems to matter. So jolly good well played to you Sir.

@fernandos24 Ah, yeah they get rewarded for it but like I said it isn't split. They get the value of the chest same as everyone. So they lucked out getting in while you had a haul.

@padd Might want to read the comments so you understand the full context here.

@its-s****. Thanks, I should have worded my opening post slightly different. Sorry for any confusion!

Fortunately for those of you who don't like randos joining your crews, RARE is going to add the option to lock your crew to invite-only soon-ish.

If you hand a chest/skull/cage in, And it's estimated to get a 300 gold reward, You all get 300, It's not divided.
I don't think the OP was trying to say it's not fair that this new comer was getting gold for doing nothing, They may just have thought that the earnings were Divided amongst the crew meaning if a 4th member joins, they lose out on some gold. Luckily it isn't like that. ;)

@notsid-probably You can read my previous post to see how it could harm the existing crew.

@cryptic-ophion "afk kick" isn't a thing since you could just use a macro or a rubber band to a controller. It's pretty easy to work around that. I've been sat here for nearly 30 minutes now watching this guy toggle between a couple of animations to make sure he doesn't get kicked. You've missed my point on the fact that a team of 3 who were looking for a 4th are now at a disadvantage because this new player has taken up that slot and chooses to not help. They can go ahead and make a new lobby if they're happy to completely reset any progress sure.

You obviously wouldn't get more reputation than if you played, but this is pretty easy because I can quite happily tab out of game, watch stuff and earn passively through other crews without doing any work, just tabbing back in to change my animation then go back out.

Does no one understand that?

@notsid-probably Haha very good!

Just wanted to find out if someone who joined after completing a voyage gets a share in the loot.

As we've found out that it's all equal I don't have a problem! Just want people to pull their weight but its a bit hard for them to do that after a voyage has already been completed!

So thanks for your input notsid!

@ryan-howl I don't think you realised, but there's an AFK kick after a certain period, like 10-15 mins (Lazybeard). So no, that tactic doesn't work. If you were to argue they just sit and do nothing, the original crew loses nothing from just completing a voyage if already started and rejoining a new session - perhaps with only 3 people if you're that worried an extra person will sponge off you. But then again, what do you gain from in buying a game and then moving around to stop afk kick while your crew is actually enjoying the game while still earning as much? Not like you'd overtake anyone in progression like that.

@fernandos24 I know the post is resolved since now you know you didn't lose anything by that random joining, but I feel like everyone ignored you mentioning you had a 4 man reduced to a 3; you could've edited your post too acknowledging it's no longer a complaint or explaining it better.

Doesn't look like a lot of you are actually understanding the issue with the game so far. Right now you can join a crew, go afk and passively earn. This means that the existing crew will no longer be able to have a person join them who is willing to help.

You can put someone in the brig to stop them from using up supplies and stuff, but it doesn't completely resolve the issue. There needs to be a vote to kick option.
