I have about 2K hours in Sea Of Thieves and have played since Xbox One Beta in 2018. I competitively play FPS games, am confident in my cannon shots and sink around 9 out of 10 ships I encounter on the seas as a solo slooper. However, I did not attempt allegiance when it released because I didn't wanna do it, now I have dive'd 15 times in the last week, half for athena, half for reaper, and lost EVERY single battle. 90% of them to people who are wearing a curse for being either level 100+ or 1000+ in an allegiance, despite what I remember Rare saying about "Skill based matchmaking". I am level 10 in both factions and lose every game to people with more hours than me and significantly higher faction levels, am I missing something or is this a mode driven by people who play the game for nothing but PVP and have thousands of hours?
How do you go about leveling up Allegience?
You're not missing anything. That's exactly what this mode is.
Hardcore PvP sweats/grinders and folks who've got cheats or mods enabled make up about 93% of the people who play hourglass with any consistency. It's going to be a long, hard road for you, my friend.
Try to do it on community weekends or gold & glory events. You'll still lose almost every single battle, but you'll get around twice as much allegiance as you normally do!
