-
Dave+ (@xMLG_Drizzy) reported@SeaOfThieves Dead game Dev team covers up a member who is a **** preying on children. Discord server guilty as well. Ignoring their disgusting issues. Good riddance
-
Myra O' Connor (@TheMalSid) reported@SkyrageUk @CODE_3CH0 @SeaOfThieves Thats actually a completely different reason... on discord servers you can discuss issues till the mods ban you.... in my case, tiktok support line has been fully ai and you can't get thru to a human or even get actual answers cause they ai is too under developed... hope that you
-
KingHotdogPig (@KingHotdogPig) reported@Musks_a_cunt @SeaOfThieves To protect players they should start by firing j0 and Shirah and updating their policies to better protect players. But that has nothing to do with the rest of the dev teams. The people building the game don’t control staffing or policy decisions. Expecting those people to stop working because of failures in another department isn’t right, and blaming them for issues they have no authority over makes all of us who have been talking about this look stupid. j0 has been actively deleting evidence during an ongoing investigation (which is illegal). And Shirah has been deleting peoples messages in the discord who speak up about this. That is who the community should be against.

Matt (@Sloopflex) reportedI don’t make a lot of comments about sot issues but it is truly baffling to me how much the SoT community is blowing up right now and Rare is staying silent and dodging it. Action needs to be taken. Do better @SeaOfThieves and you need to FIRE @j0toro
-
CappCabbage (@CappCabbage) reported@oGrimz @SeaOfThieves Id rather they run events consistently over the next few months and just fix issues during that time. Still gives us things to do
-
Quimper (@Quimper) reported@AlmtyChcknPoo "We have this problem with #SeaOfThieves as well." - You are obsessed.
-
WickedDeath (@DeadCarnival) reported@MWSlayerX @SeaOfThieves This is the guy they want to make community managers out of. The yes men cucks. The ones that refuse to see the problems.
-
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
-
Karminium (@Karminium_) reported@ManVsMiniatures @Rare @SeaOfThieves I mean... slurs are pretty mean, and The legit only problem with your hunt for pedos is that nobody's gonna believe you if you are just gonna accuse everyone of one. If slimeypigeon is one, then you were right, if not, you just slandered someone innocent for no reason.
-
B0NA (@xB0NAx) reported@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.
-
MarMar 🔻 (@MarMar_EoD) reported@SeaOfThieves when will you fix the absurd amount of bugs that are plaguing your game?
-
Justmy2cents (@Justmy2cents11) reported@Ri58995851 @SeaOfThieves Ok my bad lol and to tell you the truth. I hate SoT. I will never play another live service game in my life cuz of them. I’m an achievement ***** so I gotta keep everything at 100%. This ****** game keeps forcing me back, wrong tree with that gagging on SoT **** stuff.
-
Bumblebee Tuna Studio (@BumbleStudio) reported@SeaOfThieves Aaaaaand it's broken
-
🥶Goozman👿 (@TheGoozman99) reported@SuperRegGuy @SeaOfThieves You mean the glitch thats been out for over a year
-
Kokokatten (@Kokokatten) reported@SeaOfThieves Remember to fix the prices. Old items were shown as 1500 on leaks. So.. silently increasing prices after increasing amount of voyages? Disgusting. I’m glad I don’t support this game anymore.
-
Xyllius (@Xyllius) reported@Musks_a_cunt @KingHotdogPig @SeaOfThieves I would agree if the issue would be WITHIN the game, but this is OUTSIDE of the game mostly, on social channels. Again, cut-off people involved and close the discord server until things are solved. People that are responsible are mostly dangerous on these platforms.

꩜ 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 40+ 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 playing. The streak/curse has been broken, It was a good run. Now, back to Forza Horizon 6.
-
Master (@Lotus_Koril) reported@RobertByron23 @SeaOfThieves Its 3 per player, which means up to 12 on a galleon. It takes more skill to use a blunderbuss then it does to use a bonecaller. And if you were a good player, you would be able to outplay the ladder guard, even with a blunderbuss. So yea, it a massive skill issue on youre side.
-
Wizard (@DriveThruWizard) reported@SeaOfThieves Ya guna fix it so we can actually play it? At the very least EXTEND the event
-
theVileCaptn☠️ (@beturne) reported@HitboTC @sandthegame @SeaOfThieves Sand definitely has a lot of work needing done to fix bugs and get the cheating under control. Don’t get me wrong it’s definitely fun, but definitely has an uphill battle to polish it up
-
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.
-
Xyllius (@Xyllius) reported@Musks_a_cunt @KingHotdogPig @SeaOfThieves That is what I mean by "not saying they are doing it correctly". First thing they should've done would've been put the people in question on leave until issues are pointed out. But then again, it's not the fault of most of the company. It's the fault of PR and also HR.
-
Twitch 8cells (@kbeeznuts) reported@SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support @SoTCommunity I died after fighting the gallion came back sailed there and it was glitched players spinning ships merged then i get 2 network errors and i get suspened make a ticket next day perma banned
-
Sergio Jason Pina (@SergioJasonPina) reported@SeaOfThieves Can you investigate the cinnamonbeard error on PS5? Getting into PS5 only lobbies with crossplay turned off doesn’t work currently. Turning crossplay back on allows me to get into a server.
-
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
-
Follow on Bluesky (@BowtieShyGuy) reported@aDreamingNomad @SuperRegGuy @SeaOfThieves ...so long that I used PayPal refund service as the eligibility was running out (and you could literally no longer contact the store).
-
Squidkiller8781 (@squidkiller8781) reported@AboutSelphy @SeaOfThieves because loss farming is a strat. As long as there are points awarded for losing, this is going to be an issue. To be clear, i think it IS an issue, loss farming. But your openly flexing on using an exploit to deprive people of something the devs think they deserve. Just stop.
-
Kittenspreee (@kittenspreee) reported@SeaOfThieves Hopefully if the supply issue drops, which impedes competitive creation, we get the option to at least “add captaincy” supplies we can just spam to stock boats.
-
Matt McKeown (@NicaDeamuS55) reported@SeaOfThieves Its absolute crap Naked pirate cant put clothes on Gun always in the middle of the screen cant see Grab supplies and only having one of everything. Imagine trying to naval and after every shot grab a Canon ball Its not just some bugs this game is broken for me Zero fun
-
Kittenspreee (@kittenspreee) reported@SeaOfThieves While we’re on the topic, why are we sticking to the outdated supply issues rather than adjusting their entire purchase method? Add a spawn location for items next to cannon barrels, just like tall tale items on the tables so purchases go there rather than fix the merchants.
