Thanks Rare.

@shadowfox327533 unless there is a HUGE incentive for PvP players to play, it'll go the way of the original Arena and Hourglass matches. it'll just be easier for them to just farm PvE players than actually compete with other PvP players

@loneshadow29 I don't know how many pvp players you've actually talked to, but judging by your posts you genuinely think we are entertained by sinking pve players. I've been apart of the pvp community for a few years and ive rarely found someone who enjoys hourglass or arena and wants easier fights, we used/use these modes to avoid players who have some odd adverse reaction to sinking other people.

@itzeggward the reason I think that way is because that has been my general experience with a lot of players on every server I've been on. every time I've tried to do a voyage and even Tall Tales, I have been attacked. and since I'm generally a solo player, I'm usually sunk losing whatever progress I've made. Unfortunately, even when I try to avoid other players and try to remove cross play to try to remove that type of player, I just get put in a new server with the same kind of players. it got so bad that I no longer play. I still keep the game installed because I might try to come back to it at some point, but for now, it's not worth the level of frustration and time wasted. I've been playing since day 1 and my progress is not nearly a fraction of a lot of players because it's kind of hard to increase reputation when I have to waste the precious time I have to run back to a fort every couple of minutes so I can at least try to get something for all my troubles and even that is problematic. and when you look in the forums, you'll get the usual responses from PvP players to just "get better" like people like me have 16 hours a day to dedicate to just playing Sea of Thieves.

And your response is new because you don't want to acknowledge anyone outside of your own play group. The fact is the reason you have so many players with such high reputation and gold for days is the fact that they preyed on other players. Yes, I know this is a PvPvE game, but the way a lot of the players act on this game, they only see it as a PvP game. and any complaints from PvE players in the forums usually get shut down because it's not about trying to foster a peaceful community, it's silencing anyone who doesn't like the current state of the game

@tintintheboy I like Safer Seas but here's my problem with it. once you get to a certain point, there is no more progression outside of gathering gold. A lot of the random encounters and world events are locked behind High Seas. So, Safer Seas is essentially what that game was when it was first released. So, once you're past a certain point, all you'll be doing is running voyages to collect what little gold you're able to from them. So, the options are be bored to tears grinding for very little gold in Safer Seas or be extremely frustrated trying to make any sense of progress in ANYTHING.

You've joined 8y ago yet you're basically saying you're farming voyages for gold? 😂 LOL

Majority of the events are in SS as well, and that's where the gold at, since you're absolutely uncontended 100% of the time. Not voyages.

In the previous season if you wanted to farm gold you didn't even have to do events (and def not voyages), just spam keg skeletons and sell smugglers loot. Again uncontended. Massive gold farm, since their spawn rate was borderline bugged.

So that argument is non-existent.

And if your next argument is "bored to tears" only because you miss Athena, FotD, BB and a bunch of voyages - that just means you should either play the game as intended on HS, or move to another game along with the rest of SS advocates. 😁

I'm a HS player yet I never found SS boring any time I switch to it. So there's that lol. Might want to get yo priorities straight.
