I'm usually open-minded to most things people talk about on the forums here. But I simply can't agree with you, hear me out...
I'm a PvP'er and Fort/FOTD/Ghost ship event player. I do these events mainly to get into PvP with others. While getting in fights is fun, I'm also there for the loot. Some of these events cost supplies when fighting off other crew ships.
I.E. when doing FOTD (fort of the damned), it is almost certain that another crew is atleast gonna check it out. FOTD takes some time to do, so its common when you sink one ship, they'll come back over and over again until its done. If you don't see the problem here, let me go further...
-
"only buy 1 of each per location"
(Using same example) Every time you sink them, they'll usually spawn at a different outpost. So if a PL is on their team, they'll keep getting crates of supplies that will eventually out number ours (defenders), that the fort doesn't simply keep resupplying us.
-
"BUYING GUNPOWDER IS AN ADVANTAGE??? or you could YA KNOW go to ANY island or fort and get a lot of them for FREE!"
Doesn't matter. Any time it takes for the other crews to get setup, is also the time for others to also stock up/finish whatever they may be doing.

I feel like this is just an attempt so you can be lazy rather than try to prepare for yourself on the seas, and treat each shot/plank/food as if its the last. Similar to what @Leritari said.
I am a Pirate Legend 19 been playing the game for 3+ years now (been an alpha player). We have never been promised that we will get some type of advantage if we ever reached such rank. It was more or less to show to others that you know your stuff, and to think twice before fighting with us on the seas. :)
I feel like more things could be brought up here in a game like this. The whole game isn't based around advantages, rather your skill. I feel like the game could have a lot more features, rather than advantages. To name a few:
- Newer bosses (not skeletons) to fight for loot.
- New themes around the map (arctic or something)
- More combat tools...
- The list can really go on and on.
