Hello,
I had a toxic troll player ruin a Saturday evening gaming sea of thieves with friends.
After 4 epic ships battles and an hour of stocking the ship as prep. A friend a to leave the crew.
I used looking for party feature to get a random player to join us. He seems legit and had pirate legend status.
See my open request for details. Long story short.. This troll joined our crew just to screw us.
This toxic player and a friend of his have fun by griefing other players.
He dumped over board hours worth of loot and supplies we had gotten.
We were not able to turn in our lvl 4 reapers flag.
This troll refused to leave the game after being confined to the brig.
He spent 40 mins in the brig before my friend gave up and raged quit because the troll would not leave.
We spent 40 mins running away from other ships for nothing.
We found our whole saturday evening wasted.. nothing gained.. no fun had because of a toxic player.
Add this feature for the sack of the future of your game.
A lot of time and effort going into prepping a ship for pvp just for a toxic player to come in and ruin it for you.
People will drop your game and play something else if you do not do something about it.
That will be the end of your multi-player focused game.
I know you want to encourage the training of new players by not having a kick feature... however you are mistaken.
New players can learn how to play on a sloop or on new player friendly crews. There is also the intro tutorial as well.
Add the vote to kick feature as soon as possible.
Without the kick feature.. you force people to abandon hours of work, progress and prep to get rid of an undesirable player.
Which will in time ruin your game and lower your player base.
