  @WazzaC92 @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Was it bad this glitch happend in the first place? Yes. But no one was stopping you from doing said voyages anyways. As they stated, those coins would've been added to your wallet.

  Looking at these reviews for @SeaOfThieves on Xbox and A LOT of them want the same thing. A PVE mode where you can play with friends. I don’t understand why this is a bad thing. Remove safer seas. Make that an “Invite only” server and allow up to 6 boats. Problem solved.

  @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.

  @FROTTOLEE @SeaOfThieves They should start by removing the one thing that connects silly pirate game to the real world. The pride bullshit. That is the catalyst for some of the most sick and vile people to flock towards SoT. The usual culprits are the flag pushers. They are a massive part of the problem, that very small, very vocal clique of players whom should not be trusted blindly in positions of power.

  @IamGreen112 @SeaOfThieves So, players who exploited this got to keep everything, those who were affected by the glitch got items deleted, and you're stuck between a rock and a hard place of having to earn them, and having items taken away. Schrodinger's Doubloons-- their here and not here at same time lol

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

  @SeaOfThieves @MaxxineJean @IndieGameJoe Trst sales go up just need little modifications and files already there no? And if server costs is problem just make it feature for special edition of sot will cover server costs or even remove indian servers because what happens there is crazy ifyky

  @Psychobaker_24 @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves i dont believe thats up to you or me to decide that, lets just wait for the company to address the problem publicly.

  @Joe651750613863 @SeaOfThieves It's not even something is the issue. They're so unwilling to come up with new content that they just put already existing emporium cosmetics as drops. It's so lazy that I'd honestly rather no drops at all 😭 gold, renown, and the voyage of "luck" are useless fillers as well

  @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd @Rare Adding to this its sad to see a game that was in my life since i was 15 fall so far as it has, why cant you fix bugs,remove the acts system and add more permant content instead of taking it away like molten sands, that was incredibly fun cause it used the trading companies

  I’ve run into cheaters maybe a handful of times over the years. @SkeleCurseIRL is absolutely right, #seaofthieves doesn’t have a cheater problem, it has a perception problem. The lack of game knowledge has people calling cheats for what is just really good gameplay

  @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.

  OphieIRL (@OphieIRL) reported 26 minutes ago

  @CrustySockPuppy @SeaOfThieves This is a reasonable response. My perspective is that the issue of player safety has been talked about over and over again using the framework they provided both in the ticket system and in the partner discord. Nothing changed, it was ignored.

  @crudmasterTV @SeaOfThieves @S0nicbob Do you mean like a counter? 🤔 Honestly, I had no problem knowing how many ships were left because the arena shrank very quickly, so you could always see how many ships were in the area. The new arena isn't that big.

  @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

  @hasmoq @SeaOfThieves The games not broken at all!

  @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd Your problem wasn't the game. Your problem is you try to appeal to the whiniest of the player base who felt entitled to gold they hadn't stolen fairly. Now, ffs, I'll forgive it all if you spawn a Shrouded for me. 8k hours guys, like damn, I'm dying here.

  @romanticidexx @SeaOfThieves I have gigabit internet, so my internet isn't bad. And I'm not referring to rubberbanding. I'm referring to issues that literally affect ALL 4 PEOPLE ON A GALLEON, that a server hop typically fixes. Unfortunately, buggy servers is an almost 'every session' issue

  Last 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.

  @SeaOfThieves do you know that you kick players for idling WHILE ACTIVELY BROWSING AND PURCHASING FROM SHOPS?! Just thought you’d want to fix the dumb bug😒

  @SeaOfThieves @XBOX For ages I've tried to get a replacement or fix for my gold plated version of that gold hoarder tablet. I never got a reply from the responsible party.

  @fraudatori @SeaOfThieves I am lost, are you agreeing that you have to login and play, or disagreeing? Because either way you have to log in and play to be on the ledgers, that is an irrefutable fact. Nowhere have your screenshots proved your initial argument that you're automatically on the ledger

  @knglover @SeaOfThieves This is what they want to fix! Player engagement/random encounters is KING in SoT

  @Slimey_Pigeon @SeaOfThieves Insider I asked about the issue for those that have color blindness. I know of a few individuals that might be affected. But how would you suggest to fix it .. the is sound and color and a warning pop up I think. .. Honestly it would be cool to see the effect even for customseas

  @Seeker53872832 @SeaOfThieves What did you expect after they said there was a doubloon economy issue, after the last few seasons included a bunch of stuff that sells for doubloons? That's a manufactured issue.
