I want to start of by saying I love this game. I really really do, it's beautiful, it's charming, it's relaxing to just.. sail off and loose yourself with friends in a funny pirate game.

But.. I can't recommend it. From bugs, to exploits, to cheaters, pvp sweats who will sink you for just having the audacity of EXISTING near them, even if you never ever fired a shot, even if you have NOTHING on your boat then talk you down because you didn't fight back? Coupling all that with an outdated reporting system is.. really really rough.

Yes yes I know it's a PVEVP game, but a solid 70% of the player base I run into is the aforementioned type. I'm autistic, I can pvp just fine but I don't like how it makes me feel and it's generally not fun when, again, you play against people who are just there to use all the exploits they can to screw over your day and you just.. can't keep up.

"Go play Safer Seas or git gud idiot", oh I have, and will intend to, even if Rare has decided to lock COSMETICS, not some sort of better weapon or something that reinforces your ship, COSMETICS behind "You need a higher rank with this faction which you can only do in High Seas" is, in my opinion, absolutely ridiculous.

Again.. I love this game, I do.. I've gotten good feels by just sailing and listening to the ocean and occasionally dealing with funny undead dorks. But the players man.. the players...

So like.. I'm not great at PVP, basically I don't like how it makes me feel. Does that mean I'm going to bash on a game that has PVP aspects? Absolutely not, but through mods I've been able to really enjoy this game when giving it a really heavy PVE lean on things. If you like the whole scavenging, zombies, holy crap why do I suddenly have cholera I swear I washed my hands, thing.. def give this a try.
