I was playing earlier today in a two man sloop, I’m a relative noob, been playing about two weeks, my crew mate a little more experienced. We’re on our way to have a crack at Flameheart when his face disappeared from the sky. “Strange” we thought, but then it occurred to us that another player may have just completed the event, then we spot it, another sloop. Tell me which pirate wouldn’t see that prize and think, “they’ve just got a big payout and I want it.” So we proceed to raid, we’re spotted, the sloop flees, we struggle to catch up but spawned on by our greed we give chase right into the shroud. The ship starts to break so we turn back, but not before witnesses our quarry descend into the abyss. It was a fair tactic, was there treasure on the ship? Or was this a clever move that led us far away from where the treasure really was, a place that he/she could return once their ship had respawned?
I think that is fair play to them. And a good move.
