I had a lovely experience last night with another crew.
So I began my day as a duo sloop. We had a typical voyage (thanks for raising those capn chest drops Rare!) but skipped the last island, Mermaid's...Rest I think, due to a galleon being anchored there. Once we turned out loot in, my partner needed to leave so i figured I would head back to the last island.
Wouldn't ya know it, that galleon was still there. Grrr. Ah well. I pull up within firing distance of the galleon and just hang out hoping they'll finish soon.
Next I know, I see Ahoy! and a pirate climbs aboard. We exchange emote pleasantries, dance, and drink. His crew joined him on my ship and we all danced and such. During this time they were trying to get the Hold My Grog achievement, and I was happy to provide a sitting target. I even managed to get it myself, even though I missed the ship.
Once the fun was over they went ashore and asked me to come. Great. I don't mind helping, especially if it means they'll move on faster. After some time, we defeated the captains and I helped return the goods to their ship.
I suppose they lost someone, because they asked me if I wanted to join them as they turn it in. Sure, why not? They invite me to the group, and it turns out they have quite the collection of skulls! Ten minutes later I'm 10k richer! AND one of em was a legend who showed me the hideout! Awesome!
The moral of the story is to ask yourself how richer you would be if you didn't shoot first in every situation.
