PIRATE RANK: A pirate rank that you get by playing, the more ships you sink or the more people you kill, the rank goes up
BALANCING OF MATCHES: Matches would be balanced according to the rank of people
[PT-BR]
RANK PIRATA: Um rank pirata que se obtém jogando, quanto mais navios você afunda ou mais pessoas você mata, o rank sobe
BALANCEAMENTO DE PARTIDAS: As partidas seriam balanceadas conforme o rank das pessoas
that's not balancing that's stacking the deck
pirates can form whatever arrangement they want on their own but when it comes to the official algorithm and system it should not only work efficiently to keep things moving but also should support their philosophy of being a game that is welcoming to all pirates and all types of piracy. Random interactions with all different types not only maintains server balance but it also creates an environment where all different types interact and can potentially become friends and/or crew mates

Not everyone is out to sink or kill others. Many just want to explore, learn, participate in events, make friends, etc. Your idea is bad for numerous reasons:
It splits the piratebase unnecessarily.
It gives certain pirates a sense of meaningless entitlement.
It promotes negative interactions over positive ones, like alliances.
It makes it harder and longer to matchmake with others.
