All right, ever since Rare released distinctions for the trading companies, it kind of did not really hit the mark in my mind.
don’t get me wrong hitting level 100 and unlocking the new outfits and stuff before it was kind of cool & such.
But the grind for the rings is kind of ridiculous given the current state of the game at the moment with the health of the game being not so great and it’s momentum.
Honestly, I feel like the rings should’ve been earned through commendations & should have achievements for it instead of using emissary to stack golden reputation like there’s something very expensive in the shops(which there isn’t at the moment except for new players).
But I don’t know if everyone would agree with resetting distinction levels but it would be better for new rewards or to bigger projects instead of just reputation overall.
There’s nothing really in the ledgers anymore for me because I’ve finished those.
Now I’m branching off to a different subject and that’s Hourglass.
The amount of people that go for golden ghost & golden bones shows me in my view They are way too burnt out on PVP, I’ve met a few that said they kind of regretted grinding, PVP constantly, and I understood that because what’s the point of having a golden version of the ghost curse or golden skeleton curse when there’s nothing tying it to the game.
Now there are the gold skeletons from forts and that we have to kill and that’s understandable.
But golden ghost does not really seem right to be honest and I think the grind for those who have done it kind of burnt out their love the game, but I might be wrong.
But at the end of the day, I love and enjoy playing this game and the mini adventures I have on my own time.

With how easy it currently is to get to grade 5 for the factions, AND you get to dive directly to your voyage (which is unlikely to be contested), and with the amount of gold you can easily earn, this is the EASIEST time to grind out distinction levels/rep. It's because of the current state of the game making it much easier.

Also, I'm wondering where you get these numbers from, as players on the SoT official discord are always forming crews for hourglass, when you say you've only spoken to a "few"??

A friend of mine literally bilged his way to gold curse (not joking LOL) and still plays since he loves the game. No one forced him to do it.
@europa4033
Honestly diving has made the game feel less interesting and earning gold kind of feels too easy, but I understand there’s players who are frustrated about not earning enough gold & reputation and so far it looks like they’ve been catered to for that.
That’s why it’s better to plan out your voyage is ahead of time & have having a crew that can think with you as one but there’s hardly any of them out there except for a few, of course.
But for us veterans who have a different view of this game are some that have left & those guys who loved the the adventures & the thrills of whatever a new session brings each day.
