shaun john (@shaunjo57082499) reported@SeaOfThieves your game is now trash and plagued by swarms of cheaters. I get you just ban them cause cheaters are happy to buy multiple copies of the game so its a + for your revenue, but how about just fixing the issue instead of being money hungry pigs that cover up pdf for a laugh,.

ThatOneWidowmaker (@MaZu_iceTea) reported@ManVsMiniatures @SeaOfThieves Its written by their legal team not rare. They know how to phrase stuff without getting into more trouble. While I do agree, law wise their respond is sadly the only correct way.

Electreidon (@Electreidon) reported@SeaOfThieves Still a broken game. Go figure.
-
cold (@coldsot_) reported@hasmoq @SeaOfThieves The games not broken at all!
-
Game 7DS (@Game7DS) reportedThe bug where you "Can't Grab" crates seems to exist in the Weekender Doubloon Run Voyage. If you can't grab the cargo.. Buying a captaincy item OR merchant supply crate SOMETIMES fixes the issue.. Not guaranteed every time unfortunately... The issue seems CONSISTENT at Crescent Isle specifically. Not sure if Plunder has issues or not and maybe got lucky. Hope the intel helps others! @Seaofthieves #SeaofThieves

Professor Trunkerz (@SeaOfTrunkerz) reportedMy last LSS match had 2 airborne boats & one that never surfaced. Emerging from under water looks cool, but seems to cause more issues in this game mode. @SeaOfThieves #SeaOfThieves

Matt McKeown (@NicaDeamuS55) reported@SeaOfThieves With every update comes 100s of more bugs and exploits. But hey release new content good job on that. Oh wait the content is broken constantly. But wait you know what will fix broken content....? Wait for it.....more broken content. Absolutely trash you guys need new jobs

꩜ Dreamcast Forever (@Nemesis2K) reportedLast ship standing just killed of my drive to "getting everything" in sea of thieves, that includes all the emporium items. I will now only play to unlock achievements as they are added. I am done. For that, I am thankful. @SeaOfThieves, forcing me to sit through 30+ minute queue times to get into a game with cheaters, I am just not doing it. Since this will be the first set of cosmetics since launch that have been obtainable to everyone in the player base I wont get, I see no reason to keep trying. The streak/curse has been broken, It was a good run. Now, back to Forza Horizon 6.

almtychcknpoo (@AlmtyChcknPoo) reported@KingHotdogPig @SeaOfThieves No, you are right. None of us should be asking partners to stand down. I am allowed to choose whose content I want to support as a result. The problem is that these things have been going on for years at this point. It could have been prevented if Rare stepped in and stopped CM a long time ago. Rare is 100% accountable for who they have representing their game. CM are representatives. I ain't gonna force anyone to step down or take a stand, but if it appears that someone is trying to leverage a charity stream to boost their numbers and appear as a good person, for a charity that doesn't actively help OUR victims, I'm unfollowing them. If they are the least bit fake, I'm unfollowing. That's my choice and no ones gonna miss me around...so the decision is most likely mutual anyways. I absolutely do want to see a bigger push though and nothing is going to change without it. Hell, some streamers haven't mentioned it but they have been streaming other games lately...silently protesting already despite making a statement. Kudos to them.

The Dice Tell a Story (@DiceTellaStory) reported@SeaOfThieves Gonna be honest here, I ******* hate what you did with the doubloons. I didnt get to play the last weekenders so Im drastically behind because you decided to add fomo to it all. Im a die hard fan and even Im having trouble turning the game on.

Xo The Sea Fox (@Xoxbit_YT) reported@Valor_Omega_SoT @SeaOfThieves It is simply not acceptable that it happened .. and with past issues its clear, the system has to change

0riginalpiratematerial (@0riginalpirate1) reportedThe statement didn't mean anything really did it you can make any positive u want but it isn't gonna fix the core problem here games cooked and most would rather have drops than protect kids #fucksotpartner #fucksot #seaofthieves

Pops McSlurm (@PopsMcSlurm) reportedNow I understand why honesty was such a problem. Time all the mods out for 7 days., that'll show em. #SeaOfThieves #BeMorePirate #seperateworkfromfriends
-
SickStyle Gaming (@SickstyleG) reported@SeaOfThieves @Minecraft They tried to but cheaters DDoS the server
-
BananaStove (@BananaStove) reported@SeaOfThieves #seaofthieves punishing the player base for your mistakes is not the way to solve problems. this issue should have been solved on day1 of the weekender not a month later how are people supposed to make doubloons when the only doubloon item is 10 at base value
-
Quimper (@Quimper) reported@AlmtyChcknPoo "We have this problem with #SeaOfThieves as well." - You are obsessed.
-
SweetSandman (@SweetSandMan) reported@supermariopla11 @SeaOfThieves That's...that's not what's causing server performance to suck. Like at all. Preventing expansion of the game, maybe. But not server issues. If anything, high end PCs with uncapped FPS and/or max graphics cause more server strain. But even that isn't the underlying issue.
-
Sonny (@Sonny_exee) reportedThe @SeaOfThieves doubloon fix is a mess. Players not reset were stuck at the 4k cap, unable to farm. Now you’re removing their items? At the next event, they’ll have to grind double: for the old items AND the new ones. Stop punishing us for your bugs! #SeaOfThieves
-
almtychcknpoo (@AlmtyChcknPoo) reported@myweeweetinybro @SeaOfThieves Also much of my plight with CM was addressing the ban problems, which is still a problem. Blocking us for a negative opinion is bullocks.

james (@james3226330161) reported@SeaOfThieves Having a problem with my console with my mouse and keyboard my aim and shoot are doing the same thing at the same time how would I fix this plz help haven't been able too play in a year
-
Flyfishersteven (@flyfishersteven) reported@DBflx @SeaOfThieves Yes @SeaOfThieves this is a big frustrating issue with the flags not counting
-
Dr.Nemesis (@Dr_Nemesis_) reported@SeaOfThieves Customs seas would be great if the server didn't crash every five seconds
-
LpG_VeLoCiTy (@LpG_VeLoCiTy) reported@SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support Custom server is broken. You host a game and load in and 10 seconds in there is a connection error issue and you cant play custom seas. Please help. Regular adventure works no issues though.
-
darren hambrick (@Dreamur2000) reported@Fi1es @SeaOfThieves Awful just awful gutting the bone caller cause people whine to much about it is not the way to go keep it the same and force players to actually use a sword since it takes one good swing to get rid of the problem
-
blvcklung (@real_blvcklung) reportedWith everything going on in the SoT community right now, it’s been really disappointing to see certain creators and familiar faces either show their true colours or stay completely silent, It’s honestly horrible seeing how broken parts of this community really are. #SeaOfThieves
-
Lynnalia (@LynnaliaTV) reported@fredder6489 @SeaOfThieves Epic does it to "dogfood" their own engine, showing it off and also finding development issues. Considering their scale, that has massive value. Rare has no such incentive, especially when the game already runs so poorly.
-
Nathanonfire (@Nathanonfire2) reported@Donuttboy @SeaOfThieves These broken feathers are awful and make it unfair ….. if it can’t be fixed immediately it needs to end
-
Kokokatten (@Kokokatten) reportedPlayers report under the official post that the challenges are not visible AGAIN! Allegedly already fixed and tested, and again failed on live. Typical? Let me know if you encountered the issue and on what platform! #seaofthieves #bemorepirate #belessabsurd

Copper🔜 SoTFest 2026 Panelist (@Coppertailwolf) reported@coldsot_ @SeaOfThieves I had this bug in insiders- because it was testing I didn’t leave and saw it thro and had people pissed but I was like “literally following through on the testing- the entire purpose of right now” That being said I got the same bug yesterday and scuttled cause I don’t want to win like that XD it’s a very broken bug - you’re untouchable too outside the ring closing in. I imagine a lot of people will do the same in that situation, but unfortunately a lot won’t.
