Merchant Alliance Escort Quests

    Now that Ghost ships are coming into the game with the cursed sails can we get missions from the Merchant Alliance.

    Difficulty could scale by changing type/number of ships, distance of Escort and whether Ghost ships attack in a group as well as the size of the group of attacking ghost ships all scale based on faction level.

    Tactics could vary as well like the ghost ships co-operating and attempting to board, fighting each other, focus solely on the escorted ship or the player ship etc.

    These quests could even have an interactive/co-operative aspect to it for other pirates in the world by providing specific commendations, titles and cosmetics. (even an achievement) for assisting other players who are on Escort missions.

    Definitely down for Merchant quests like this. Btw, did anyone else happen to notice the knew dialogue available with the Merchant? When you speak with the Merchant, there is an option to ask something along the lines of "Are the Merchants offering any rewards for hunting Kraken/Meg Sharks?" The merchant replies with something like "I will put in your suggestion to the guild." (paraphrased) which is suggesting a new quest type with the Merchants that may be coming up.

    I am hoping that a entire new guild comes of it, perhaps a business Venture where some of the Merchants branch off and do their own thing. This way, players who already are level 50 will still have some grinding to do.

    @enginefear there has been talk of adding rewards/loot for defeating these and new "emergent threats" in the world but I didn't know they were planning to add it to the Merchant faction as a quest (or any existing faction)

    Yeah I don't know their exact plans, but Rare seems to add subtle hints to the game that suggest upcoming changes and a new conversation that is now available with the Merchants seems to be a big clue.
