The Gold Curse is Now Disappointing

    I got the Gold Hoarder curse about a week ago or so. My friend and I, who both spent a lot of time on this, were happy because not only was it special having the curse, but everyone's was different. I got not a lot of gold on my character with the curse and was pretty unhappy with it. However, I grew to love that it was unique to me- no other pirate on the sea of thieves had that same look. That got taken away today.
    Last week when I heard that it was getting redone, I got hopeful because at first I didn't like mine. I was thinking maybe they would add a randomize button or something- to keep the uniqueness while giving those who weren't happy a chance to change it to their desire.

    Now, I look like everyone else with the curse, hooray!

    Rare, Sea of Thieves team, please revert it all over the Official Discord people are unhappy with it. Here, on the forums too, people are unhappy.

    "Reverting" it is not the appropriate response to this, but I'll grant you I don't think a universal design was the best they could do.

    You have to understand that not everyone was happy with what they got. Sympathize with other players for a minute and understand that it's more fair to make everyone look the same than it is to have some people getting bad curses while other people get more preferable designs, and Rare said they never intended for it to be a thing where some people got better curses than others.

    Don't get me wrong though! I think there should be options for which curse pattern you have. Absolutely keep suggesting that.

    Also this statement is false lol. The curse was previously allocated randomly from an existing selection of NPC Gold Hoarder patterns, so quite a few pirates probably had the exact same one.

    Here's an idea guys!

    Instead of just complaining all the time, and say things like "Turn it back to the way it was" which was obviously a problem for some people, or "Just let us swap gold curse-appearances like t-shirts".

    Why don't we actually make detailed suggestions to IMPROVE the curse instead? Eeeh? :D
    Like for example, similar to a pirate-generator, a curse-appearance generator that will act as a basic template for all curses of the "Corruption that spreads" variety that will let you select an appeance you are happy with etc? An idea that works with this curse, and also works for future curses of a similar type!

    They probably made this change, because people complained without giving constructive feedback to begin with, so i think we should learn from that, and, provide constructive feedback!

    the problem is if you go back to post around when the dev video came out and said they were making the gold curse the same for everyone (I think it was last week) there were tons of posts with diff ideas of how to change it and make everyone happy,

    so if you go back you will see all those posts, but they didn't listen and just made everyone the same so now people are voicing there anger rather then ideas because myself and other already posts ideas lots of them.

    @algaram ... yes?

    But where these suggestions constructive? According to a couple of posts i've seen... No, they were not... Usually just the general notion of "I am not happy, make it better pls." instead of actually giving actionable feedback.

    or maybe the real problem is that Rare listens to those who don't give actionable feedback, and ignores those who DO give actionable feedback? : /
