Has anybody noticed a recent trend of spawn campers? Two nights in a row I’ve had my galleon pursued for several minutes and finally boarded by an opposing crew only to have them lay waste to my crew (won’t get into the hardware disparity) and then proceed to hang out on our ship and pick us off as we spawn back in.
I’m all for ganking a ship and roughing a crew up but I just can’t for the life of me see where enjoyment is found in killing the same obviously inferior players the second they down back in over and over again. Is there some sense of accomplishment in beating someone to the point they have no recourse but to abandon the fight?
I realize the scuttle feature is there to dissuade this behavior and I do use it after a few attempts of fighting back but when you’ve got that one PC commando on your crew that wants to engage in this PVP you can’t always accrue enough votes to scuttle.
I’m hoping this current trend is due to people coming back to the game after a hiatus and shaking rust off prior to the Arena release...whenever that’s supposed to drop.
/end rant.
