    @SeaOfThieves This game needs a new anti cheat system the hackers are horrible you can’t even have fun playing the game doing voyages when hackers come to you and you can’t sink their ship because they have ship invincibility I’ve played this game faithfully for over 2 years RARE PLEASE FIX IT

  • zaxie22345 Zaxie22345 (@zaxie22345) reported

    @SeaOfThieves You need to fix the hacker problem I was soloing for hourglass and came across a cheater who flipped my boat and then kegged it in mid hair Pls fix the problem Rare so people can actually PvP for community day

  • grunt18136 Gawky (@grunt18136) reported

    @ZNiinjaaa @SeaOfThieves @ArrtClub Sorry i couldn't show up controller is broken

  • ZackAmor1 Zamen (@ZackAmor1) reported

    @calypsocurse12 @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves That is not a cheat. There have been issues with people being able to stand on edges wherein it seems that they stick to the character as if they are standing on it. Do not accuse people of cheating or brand them like this openly if you dont even know they are cheating.

  • imagiea78 Imagiea78 (@imagiea78) reported

    @SeaOfThieves No wonder people are hacking. It's to hard to get to level 100 of the factions especially if your bad at pvp and sbmm is still broken which doesn't help at all

  • MaathVal Math (@MaathVal) reported

    @OzurianArt @SeaOfThieves they wont fix it so if u want a decent game u gotta start lookin for a new one.

  • ActivistGamer ℤ𝕠𝕞𝕓𝕚𝔾𝕣𝕚𝕞 (@ActivistGamer) reported

    @SeaOfThieves We gunna fix the cheating before this or nah

  • ZackAmor1 Zamen (@ZackAmor1) reported

    @OzurianArt @SeaOfThieves The hacking issue is centered on pvp system while community day will be fine since it is pve centered.

  • OrionClaw Orion (@OrionClaw) reported

    So I'll admit I made a mistake. I listed my @SeaOfThieves megalodon themed plushies on my Etsy, which I now realise was a copyright issue. But here's the thing, @Microsoft reported the pride themed one to Etsy, but not the canonical Shrouded ghost. Weird right?

  • Mr_Dishyy Dish (@Mr_Dishyy) reported

    @IRLGames4 @Xbox @SeaOfThieves Really want to them to make them achievements obtainable, it's an actual joke a live service game has discontinued cheevs, completely puts off me and any new players from playing. Really wish they would bring arena back even as an LTM or something

  • AKatyshin Aleksandr (@AKatyshin) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I was pleasantly surprised when I found the reflections of fireworks on the water surface. And I was even more surprised when I didn’t find them during the explosions of gunpowder barrels... Fix please :)

  • HoldoViii AdmiralHoldoVIII (@HoldoViii) reported

    @SmithyBug @Cloudnine5000 @SeaOfThieves I've been saying this, every game has a cheating issue, that's literally my point

  • CGbler Deeron (@CGbler) reported

    Anyone else having #server #problems in #SeaOfThieves at the moment? Traders not really working and high ping. All since yesterday. Nothing changed on hard- and software setup

  • jerem923 Jerem (@jerem923) reported

    @ElyaPog @SeaOfThieves Thanks 💙 Is this always like this or with a F5 it's back to normal ? (I think I now when it can happen, I will try to fix that today)

  • 2DIRTBLOCK JAX (@2DIRTBLOCK) reported

    @FireBreathMan @SeaOfThieves Ngl these issues have been going on in SOT for a very long time and I’ve known many players and even partnered streamers who had to leave the community due to harassment in the game :/

  • legilimanzy Legilimanzy (@legilimanzy) reported

    @SeaOfThieves invite cheaters to at least fix the holes in your game pls . I love this game it will be sad when cheaters destroy this game 😕

  • InkyGhosts Inky (@InkyGhosts) reported

    @CaptRattlebones @COL3M1NOR @SeaOfThieves Were you trying to fight people while invincible? Why didn't you just leave and then log back in to fix it?

  • AlphaWolf1679 AlphaWolf (@AlphaWolf1679) reported

    @Evilslither1 @SmithyBug @SeaOfThieves Dude design that doesnt allow you to have a fighting chance isnt fair or good design the fact you dont realize this ahows that you dont have this issue wich also tells me you are a part of the problem and dont have an opinion and that your so dense that no one can measure it

  • Stephen_BrEx Brutal_Excision (@Stephen_BrEx) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Have you guys got a fix for the sovereign harpoons? They currently act as if the lift is still at the top even when it's not

  • HoldoViii AdmiralHoldoVIII (@HoldoViii) reported

    @SmithyBug @Cloudnine5000 @SeaOfThieves Obviously they are actual issues, don't need you to tell me that. I've seen it first hand, it's not intended, it's an issue

  • DeadCarnival WickedDeath (@DeadCarnival) reported

    .... I think @RareLtd and @SeaOfThieves are the ame lion when it comes to not being able to fix their games either. 5 years broke is nothing to be proud of.

  • ImoutoLight ImoutoLight (@ImoutoLight) reported

    @SeaOfThieves you've heard it all before but when are we going to see an improvement on these cheating issues?

  • W0ty__ W0tyy (@W0ty__) reported

    @Hoody_chan2002 @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support so far i hope they are trying to implement some changes and i completly understand, they do not wanna publicly reveal that they have massive problem with cheaters. only thing we can do is wait and watch. Nothing else

  • SadisticShig Shiggy (@SadisticShig) reported

    @imagiea78 @SeaOfThieves You are describing a skill issue, why not hire a coach

  • VAMPYVTUBER VAMPYVTUBER 🔞 (@VAMPYVTUBER) reported

    @SeaOfThieves please fix your garbage community please. Or add a peaceful mode or something. I am sick and tired of being sunk over and over again when i just want to relax. Im just one guy on a sloop and I want to stop being ganged up on by literally everyone all the time

  • Biggy_Motion Grambit (@Biggy_Motion) reported

    Is anyone else have trouble with SeaofThieves? It's been acting strange with all the pop ups every time I go to buy stuff and lag spikes for no reason. I even checked my connection but it shows it's running great.

  • That_Jordanian_ jafar obamus (@That_Jordanian_) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @DreadedDripp Is the counting your coins glitch ever going to be fixed? Its really annoying

  • pteth1 pteth (@pteth1) reported

    @crazed38 @ChillliBomb @SeaOfThieves and if they would allow either a pve server style on official where you couldnt cross from pve to pvp or vice versa and only be eligible for pvp on a pve server if you manually flag for it. problem solved but they refuse to do that.

  • SmithyBug Bug Smith (@SmithyBug) reported

    @HoldoViii @Cloudnine5000 @SeaOfThieves Your point made it sound like you were making sea of thieves seem like the only game that had a "serious" cheater issue, with the whole "dont play this game, its full of cheaters" point, rather than every competitive game in the world, some of which actually are unplayable now.

  • HoldoViii AdmiralHoldoVIII (@HoldoViii) reported

    @SmithyBug @Cloudnine5000 @SeaOfThieves Definitely not I've been saying in replies for like everything now that cheating is a problem sooo
