  @SeaOfThieves Disappointing mess of a weekend. Dabloons not tracking or lagging hard. Text not showing on instructions. Rage inducing bilge rat tasks. Having to wait a whole day for a fireworks display to be at a certain outpost. The fishing was chill but pointless as no dabloons

  @JakesBadd @SeaOfThieves Diminishing the issue at hand with raising other, very valid, problems, is not a way to progress.

  @SeaOfThieves Unplayable due to the constant lag spikes every 30 seconds or so. I heard it’s because of the fireworks at the outposts?

• 
  Venom (@VenomousSloth7) reported 34 minutes ago

  @SeaOfThieves Is Custom Seas gonna make regular server feel even more dead? Are hackers gonna be able to access it and crash it so that larger streamers cant even play it? Is it gonna be a buggy mess like the game is? 🤔

  @SeaOfThieves this is, without a doubt, one of the worst update videos ever. by any major live service title. how anyone, at any level, thought any of these decisions were good, is beyond me.

  @SeaOfThieves acknowledge the even worse hourglass exploit where people can get 100’s of streaks in a short time allowing anyone to cheese the 1k curses in a single day it’s so broken!!!

  @AlmtyChcknPoo @SeaOfThieves To be fair some of us kinda blow ***. I care more about numerous sot community moderators blocking me for talking about quality control issues within the game instead of glazing ******** out of it like a fat kid preparing a toaster strudel for himself.

  Xyllius (@Xyllius) reported 52 minutes ago

  @WazzaC92 @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Other players have to put time and effort into multiple event weekends, while many players used this bug/glitch to buy everything right away, so these players (apparently including you) DID take advantage of that.

  @SeaOfThieves fix the hourglass exploit already people casually getting 100,200+ streaks in a short time and getting gold curses in less than a day. Pointless making a game mode dedicated to grinding if you stay quiet about people exploiting the system to make the grind non existent.

  The recent decisions from the Sea of Thieves team has been unacceptable and quite frankly out of line. The more recent issues being Season 19, and the Blackwyche set releasing in the Emporium are the final straws on the camels back for a lot of players, myself included. More specifically, the way both of these situations have been handled is nothing short of disgraceful. I'm not talking about the team scrapping content from Season 19, but rather trying to keep the 3-Act structure, when we were just told by Drew that that formula does not work, yet it's still getting implemented. "Transparency" as a whole is something we have heard from the team almost every video it seems. However, it has become corporate speak rather than details of current problems (and what they're doing to fix it) as well as discussion of the large-scale full roadmap for the future plans of the game. This is highly alarming. We are far beyond the point of needing to be surprised for anything. PLEASE just tell us what you are going to do for the game and what is going on. We need full honesty and openness about what the team is doing to show that our valuable time is not being wasted like it currently is, and for overall improvement of game health. Of course the next community direct could be the start of seeing some future plans, but again, this needed to happen sooner (years ago) and it's honestly too late regardless of what happens now. We see Rare is underwater and profits are decreasing at an alarming rate. We see the team scrambling to push out any amount of half-baked content. The overall quality bar has been set so drastically low it is embarrassing. None of it has proper creative and intuitive lead like it used to and it leaves us with less and less for every update. The game does not feel as full or exciting as it used to, despite there being so much. Another huge problem, especially right now, are the community managers and moderators. So many of these people in the past have bullied, belittled, blocked, and flat out banned players for voicing their opinions. There needs to be a drastic change in this team in regards to how it is structured and how they are allowed to use their authority and operate. I am not wishing for anyone to get fired, but rather repositioned to a different role, because managing a community and handling feedback is obviously not in their skill set. Some people in particular are J0toro and Shirah, who have been the worst when it comes to this. It feels like they have no boss watching or directing what they do and it has been like this for years. They are on a super loose leash and it feels like they are completely separate from the rest of the leadership team. They speak and act on what they feel and what they want and it is super bad. These people SHOULD NOT be the public representation of Rare, specifically Sea of Thieves at all. There is also a MASSIVE disconnect between how Rare views Sea of Thieves, and how the players view Sea of Thieves. Yes, it is Rare's game and Microsoft's IP, but our wants and needs as the players who actually spend time in the game needs to be paramount in decision making in the future. In short, what I am trying to say, is that Rare and specifically the directors of Sea of Thieves need to either get this game back on course before it is too late, or announce that they are working on Sea of Thieves 2. People only speak up because they care. If nobody spoke up in the face of problems, then it would be even worse than it is now. The fact that still so many people voice their opinions is a good thing, so please stop censoring us or just flat out ignoring us. #SeaOfThieves
