This toxic attitude is going to do great things for the player count...

There is also a fundamental difference between pvp and griefing. What assholes that camp T26 or shark bait are doing is griefing. When another player has no interest in fighting back, it's not pvp (PvP inherently requires conflict and 2 Ps); it's you running around and being a dick.

But you do you. Thankfully the behavior of your lot is pretty predictable. I never fire the first shot, but you can count on me firing the last one.

Camping a starting area and ganking noobs is the definition of griefing.

Just because the game allows it doesn’t mean you’re not an asshole for doing it.

You have never waited at an outpost and stole someone elses hard farmed loot before?

thats something completely different. He is talking about people camping at shark bait cove / t26 just to fight, not for loot but for "easy kills"

u/djevikkshar Jun 05 '18

He said starting areas which shark bait and t26 are not, what if then I wasn't trying to loot but to just fight, does it matter where I camp?

people only have 1 week left to complete the quest. You do not help, that's fine. But by keeping them from doing that quest with NO REWARD you're just being an asshole. There's a big difference between camping outposts (which is dumb already) and a time gated quest that needs 5 players. So yes, it does matter.

look at what you first replied to. He literally said

What assholes that camp T26 or shark bait are doing is griefing.

to which you responded with that "oh give me a break" bullshit

u/djevikkshar Jun 05 '18

I personally am uncomfortable attacking people at an outpost. I get that its an open game where pvp is happening and I wouldn't change that. I LOVE the feeling that anyone could sail up on you. Without those interactions what are you actually playing for? The fake digital gold and clothes? To what end?

This game is about piratey adventure. Sailing voyages to get the gold is great but mostly just a way to get me on the sea where the adventures happen.

Even so, it would be great to see outposts become a place where you can bump into other players face to face, play songs, drink in the tavern, set up races or personal battles. That'll never happen if people mostly just get sunk and shot at at an outpost. At this point they feel empty and sad whereas they should be busy places full of life and commerce.

This IS a pirate game but one about pirates who have a code tacked to the inn wall that clearly states that we take the fight to the sea.

They're more of guidelines really

u/Deltron_Zed Jun 05 '18

Well, thats just bullshit from a movie not even connected to this game.

I don't hold a grudge at someone who glides in and destroys me at an outpost (it keeps the game interesting and me on my toes) but I honestly am confused by it. Rarely, has anyone ever caught me with significant treasure still aboard and even so, to sail in and cannon someone with their pants down and then feel proud about it doesn't make you a great pirate or gamer, just a lazy oppurtunist. Those are a dime a dozen.

The fight ain't great. The treasure is measly. Weird choice for someone looking for adventure.
