@ntraills I get the idea, but that kind of playstyle gets pretty boring, i think if they find some middle ground it would attract alot more players, alot of my friends just returned the game when they found out it had no progression, i dont think the game will change to progression based but in my opinion it makes games more fun, and have slight disadvantages to players who have hundreds more hours than you is as fair as it gets.
@AmazingBison22 Let's look at it like this..... I have been playing this game since Day 1, I own everything in the game (Every Weapon Cosmetic, Ship Cosmetic, Equipment Cosmetic, Clothing Cosmetic, Literally EVERYTHING You Can Buy in this game) I Have 25 Thousand Dabloon, and over 37 Million in Gold, 240 Arena Wins (Legendary Sea Dog).... Strictly PvP Based player all around.
If your "Theory" ever came into play.... and I have bought "Ship Upgrades" with the amount of money I have. You stated you think it's "FUN" for people to have Advantages and Disadvantages. Picture This...
You are a brandy new Pirate coming straight from the lovely Maiden Voyage, with your fresh Sailor Outfit and Default Ship Set looking to get your feet wet, and you stumble upon Myself and my PvP Crew... Tell me how much "Fun" you think you are going to have????? You sir, will uninstall the game and never play again.
No... The BEST PART ABOUT THIS GAME is you NEVER KNOW what is going to happen. Everyone has the Same Ship, and you never know who is on that ship sailing towards you or in the distance. You'll never know if they are amazing PvP Players or just some fresh buccaneers looking to do some PvE Missions.
If you are a new pirate with no ship upgrades , and you use your spyglass in the distance and see a ship all "Decked" out equipped with goodies, you are not going to go in that direction.
If you are looking for Ship Upgrades, I suggest upgrading the Jackdaw Ship on AC.
