Ahoy fellas!!
This story is so ridicolous that must to be told.
Last night, my crew and I went sailing like any other day. We just started, taking supplies when a galleon came from nowhere and sank us in a sudden (as predictable).
So we decided to find them and take revenge. They were kind of toxic but since here, everything is ok! It's a daily thing. We love PVP and therefor, we often meet salty players.
By the time we were getting close to the galleon, a sloop was fighting against them (and having a bad time). Before any interaction I got a message on Xbox: reported! I was like LOL... seriously? Why?
Yes, the guy from the sloop seemmed to open the "recent players" list and started to report everyone! LOL. I normally don't text back to this kind of people (wasting of time). But this time I did!!
I told him I was from the brig, not from the galleon (we sank them after an intense battle). Minutes later, we spotted the sloop at Shipwreck doing the Reaper's Run voyage. So we decided to do our pirates things (kill and steal loot). They started sailing again. After 5min we managed to reached them, anchor them.... and yes! We bailed a couple of buckets to be able to take some supplies.
This guy instead of fighting back, or scuttle.... were AFK recording us (bailing? or recording the Ferry of the Damned??) and now we are reported for harassing, and breaking the pirate code... Apparently, chasing and stealing is forbidden as well as bailing water from others' ship. This is totally AGAINST the Pirate Code....
(Can you guys, send me a .pdf please?? LOL)
After this kind of messages, I got the cliches "get a job", "you ruin this game", "Rare is gonna punish you for breaking the Pirate Code"... all those things.
I'm not worried since I never use wrong language when playing, and didn't do a thing that is not part of the game (one of the most exciting IMO).
I'm just telling you this story because it's like... "C'mon guys!!!" Stop crying!!
The forums are loaded with post of "PVE servers", "disable dammage between alliances", etc. And lots of people I run into... are always mad because "you are ruinning their fun".
SOT is a PVP game!!! What's is the point of playing a videogame if you are gonna be mad and spending most of your time reporting every player you meet instead of playing and getting distracted from your RL problems.
If you don't like this game... either play another one, or accept what SOT is and learn from other players to get better!! I sail solo a lot. I know my boundaries, and barely get hunted.
I imagine the path this guy has gone throught in his way to reach PL with that kind of mindset. Pufff.... poor thing!!! What a "calvario"!!!!
STOP this guys!! Have fun!! Videogames are made to have fun with them! Not to get mad! Hahahaha, it's ridicolous!!
