Jumperovsky (@Jumper92PL) reported@SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves I have written a detailed ticket that I can't send sadly. Actually would prefer to not write my issues on X and have them solved here as many community players can't get enough spotlight on themselfs most of the time here and be treated properly.

OphieIRL (@OphieIRL) reportedHold Rare accountable. They won't do it themselves. Do not let this turn into a joke or a developer issue. A child was hurt because of Rare's continued lax approach to player safety. This kid needs us to step up, and those who don't are failing them. #Rare #seaofthieves

𐌃𝖴𐌁 (@GoodfellaDub_) reported.@SeaOfThieves are you all gonna respond to how to fix this issue? This single dude playing your game could help it and he can’t play because of this. @RareLtd

angus ⚔️🧙♂️ (@angusrayfield) reported@SeaOfThieves you have competition now can you fix your game?
-
Captain Long Face (@OpochLongFace) reported@SeaOfThieves Trying not to get DDOS when streaming
-
Blue Field Above (@BlueFieldAbove) reported@SeaOfThieves You reset my doubloons. I am struggling to find out why you think that means I would want to return to the game? Can anybody on the dev team explain that to me? Why would I slog through your broken matchmaking system and buggy servers just to earn what I had, back?
-
Captain Long Face (@OpochLongFace) reported@SeaOfThieves @Twitch Your reputation sunk after 10 devs couldn't help BurntPeanut with the DDOS situation

KingHotdogPig (@KingHotdogPig) reportedI can’t even put into words how disheartening it is to see #SeaOfThieves in the state it’s currently in. We have Community Managers behaving unprofessionally, Discord mods acting like they rule the world, and both think they're above the rest of us. United in censoring discussion around individuals who have absolutely ZERO place in this community and pose an actual threat to everyone in it. All while players are constantly being gaslit by those same CMs and mods into believing the community isn’t in complete disarray when it very clearly is. What makes this even worse is that these are the very people whose job is supposed to be upholding the community’s values, the Pirate Code, and Microsoft’s Terms of Service. But it feels like nothing is being enforced at all. Situations like this are 100% avoidable too. If the CM team had genuinely listened to the community and addressed these concerns and allegations early on and did something about it, things never would have reached this point. To be clear, this issue has absolutely nothing to do with the production or creative development side of the game. Please don't tag developers, artists, designers, or other team members into discussions they have no involvement in. Our criticism and calls to action are specifically directed at the community management side of Sea of Thieves. That team needs serious retraining, and a reevaluation of whether certain individuals even possess the requirements needed to continue representing the Sea of Thieves community in their current roles. I'm so tired of this, I just want to play the game man... @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd

©️type1skiffygaming (@type1skiffyttv) reported@SeaOfThieves i cannot log into insiders via my Xbox states im not opted into insiders yet I can view the website and forums and see my rewards status is there an issue with insiders atm
-
Baytash (@BishoyMilad) reported@SeaOfThieves I understand that you want to go for the grinding mechanic but the problem lies in there's nothing to grind if there's no alternate way of earning a suitable amount of doubloons after completing the deeds of the weekender, there has to be another way to earn doubloons.
-
Jon (@JoNiScLoSeR) reported@SeaOfThieves Any update on why the Xbox servers have severe lag every-time anyone plays ? Or gonna keep pretending it isn’t a thing 👏🏻
-
Cora (@romanticidexx) reported@wizardberry2822 @Zairin__ @SeaOfThieves Same, & I'm running on HOTSPOT ROUTERS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WOODS!!! We don't have the cables dug for access to highspeed internet, so if ANYONE should be lagging & having major issues with bugs, it's me LOL (It would cost around $10k USD just to dig & install cables for access).

Sauce (@GotSauced) reported@SeaOfThieves I does this irl when in trouble.
-
🙄🏒⚾️🎸🩺 (@feartheglove) reported@SeaOfThieves @burntpeanut couldn’t ay because he was being DDOS.. sad.. was hoping to see him play this.

- ̗̀Z ̖́- (@Zairin__) reported@SeaOfThieves Please for the love of God, fix your buggy game. I've literally never experienced more game breaking bugs any other time than during bilgerats weekend.

BrianUnderpaid (@BUnderpaid) reported@SeaOfThieves Broken.
-
Milkman (@themilkk_man) reportedSot is actually a rotting burning dumpster fire. Support and devs can’t ban or catch real cheaters and ban legit players and tell the community they are taking care of the cheating problem #seaofthieves #bemorepirate #rare
-
Justin (@TheGoonJS) reported@MOB_xGAMERx @SeaOfThieves The code of conduct that’s on the wall of the tavern says “keep battles on the seas” or something along those lines and instead of taking it to mean “don’t bring problems out of the game” and instead take it literally to mean “you can only battle people on the open water”
-
𐌃𝖴𐌁 (@GoodfellaDub_) reportedLooking 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.
-
Will Dozer 🌐 (@potatosordfight) reported@Giovann69642526 @SmokeBeardTV @SeaOfThieves to afford just the curse, nevermind a single other thing in BOTH of the black markets, and you have to remember that this is only the first black market drop. They intend to add more to it consistently, which will only make this issue worse.
-
DictatorZNorth (@z_dictator) reportedSome didn't like #SeaOfThieves by @theburntpeanut Which of the three options would have been better? 1) Cheaters crash server 2) 8 hours of boring empty sea sailing + one battle against AFK solo-loop 3) HG where they'll be sunk so quickly they won't even know what happened
-
MixelPlx (@MixelPlx) reportedThroughout the years of Sea of Thieves, there has been so many attempts of exceptionally large creators that want to check it out with friends, just to be met by cheaters, or the most annoying behavior till they are forced to get off. This kind of **** has been going on for well over 3-4 years, as someone whose been hit personally by auto hopper, spamming of 100's of invites, targeted server ddos, dozens of times at this point. You learn to deal with it. Nothing you can do. Its annoying, and if someones determined, they will get you eventually. Now I'm no professional in advertising, but I feel like I got a good idea of how it works. When big or small creators, paid or not, are putting forth an opportunity to really set in motion some fresh eyes for your game, its best to start plugging some of these vulnerabilities so they can continue to play, or at least feel the need to. That's good business. So I mean with all sincerity, but what ******** is going on at HQ in which **** like this continues to happen? ITS BEEN YEARS OF THIS SAME BULLSHIT. You can have your own personal look on TheBurntPeanut, but when one of the biggest advertisers/creators, averaging 80-100k live viewers across 2 platforms, is constantly getting hit. What do you think that shows viewers, interested, in maybe checking out Sea of Thieves for the first time. First impressions are everything, and this **** ain't looking too good. #SeaOfThieves
