My 1st run through with the Reaper's Run of Wanderer's Refuge went rather well...
...until the very end. Over the course of 3 hours, I ran into 4 other sloops - all friendly. On my last 2 chests in chapter 5, a 5th appeared and sank everybody! I lost my last 10 captain's chests due to 1 bad apple (I had decided that I might as well TRY to turn them in)... While I was still able to complete the voyage (and earn 1 ¹/₅ of my commendations for 20 dubloons), they left me with a rotten taste in my mouth, knowing that they were reaping the rewards of up to 9 other pirates and that I am likely going to have to endure such shenanigans 4 more times in the near future.
Yeah, I know it's SoT, but I hate wasting time when I have a schedule to keep - I anticipate a lot of rage quitters coming here to complain about their lost loot, dubloons, and of course the pirates that ruined their day...
