Alright... Every time the PL curse is brought up to discussion, it is mentioned from Rare that they are trying to find a proper way of re-introducing it. Furthermore, they want it to be as "grindy" as it was reaching PL and max battle pass level during S1.
It has now been 1+ year since they said:
As already stated by @sshteeve we have mentioned multiple times that we are looking into bringing back seasonal rewards but we have yet finalised what those plans might look like. Once we have a plan in place on how best to deliver these cosmetics we will likely do an announcement on one or multiple channels so keep an eye out.

So, why not give them 50 ways of logically bringing it back?
I'll start with a few:
- 10k Doubloons. (We could buy the barrel emote, so why stop there?)
- Athena emissary ledger: Admiral Tier 8 (8 months of grind... S1 Pirate Legends who???)
- Sell 25 reaper V flags (Yes, sell it to the Reapers themself)
- Finish top 5% of the Athena Emissary Ledger (It is gonna be drastically harder than it is now, since more will seek it, hence, 5%)
- Be a good Athena boi and do 50 Veils...
- Sell a total of 5 million worth of Athena loot
- Complete 75 athena missions
- Sell 20 stolen Chest of Legends
- Reach grade V in Athena emissary ledger 50 times
- Sell 500 Athena Fortune trasures as an Athena emissary
Let your creativity loose! :-)
I personally would vote for nr. 2 as it didn't take 8 months of consecutive playtime to reach PL in S1.
