Hello TrickrTreat01, do you refer to the point where Rare has tweeked a few commandations down so they can be achieved in a more smaller timeframe?
Well, don't let that get you...You are an "Old" Pirate Legend i presume ( * Ooow, Moron, stop calling people Old, you're old , a limping dinosaur that forgot to die, dumbo), i mean with " Old" you became Legend the hard way,yes?
Well, there is nothing that prevents you from being proud on that ...
But to explain why so many want to be desperatly become Legendary Pirate , and after achieving it they feel suddenly goalless, you have to look at the society of the Western and probably other regions of the world...Everything is based on prestige , on status , you need a nice job where you only may sweat if the coffee during lunchbreak was too hot, you need a car that can launch itself to the stars if you would let all that horsepower free, you need a castle of a home with swimmingpool, Jacuzzi and gardener ...You need a 140 inch state of the art television that wipes the sweat off yer forehead after watching a thrilling movie, so you don't need to wipe that yerself...You need to be called Director,CEO or something or you are such a "poor workingman"...
in here , it seems like everybody " needs" to be a Legend. Rare has helped that and bowed to all those critics ...They should have stay put . You have done the "Long " road to become Legend and please enlarge your topic by saying what kind of memories are branded in yer memory so they can never wiped out ...i'll bet you can tell us stories about Epic, long Sea battles , about thrilling melee Fights , about times you met " Fruitcakes" of the Sea that made you crawl from laughing in yer couch and so much more...
People that solely focussed on becoming Legend , Legend by the means of reaching level 50 in all factions, because there is another kind of Legend too, will walk away once they reach that goal....Goals have always been in games and because of that only the real Great games get's replayed , but games without a setgoal, games you have to invest time in to discover what a few are talking, almost preaching about .That takes time, and when you can shake off to see that Level 50 business as a goal, as some kind of prestige, as it may feel for some, then you know that this game will stay with you untill Rare or Mr Philious Spencer , decides to pull the plug out ....But by then you have experienced so much hidden features that you will see that it didn't matter if that one had an easier way than you to reach Legendary Pirate ...
Every Road is a Different Road , make sure you keep walking and you will experience much more than the ones who solely sail with the goal to get Legend, after they reach it , they drop off since they have not felt a tenth from what you and me have felt...Don't envy them, try to let them all look beyond this " Legend" business...It is there where the True Heart of this game lies ...And in my case, if, i'm allowed to say it , and who will hold me down?...True happiness lies for grabs for those who keep on searching and discovering new layers in this game and therefor trigger totally new state of minds in their own being...THOSE are the True Legends of the Sea...
