    @CaptMcGuffin @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves And its not really "individual". There is going to be a lot of people in the same boat who's bought everything because of this. It is a community problem with a larger effect on this content down the line that people probably dont realise currently

    @daxingtontf @GreedoGaming @SeaOfThieves Honestly, I don’t see how that’ll help. The game will always have problems because some people sink and cry that hackers sunk them, when in actuality it was a better opponent. Not everyone is hacking to get a one up on others.

    @shenanigoon @SeaOfThieves People crashing out because of cosmetics, are just as cringe, as people that want them to be angry for no reason. Why do you want to cause an outrage, from people that did nothing wrong? You have issues man. Get a grip!

    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

    @SeaOfThieves Still ignoring the VERY broken hourglass exploit tho that has existed for nearly 3 years letting people get the 1k curses in under a day.

    @SeaOfThieves What was good: - The challenges, firework display, decorations. What was really bad for me: - We barely found players doing the voyages. If we found one after server hopping for hours, it was always a swabbie, because the decent players already finished their 3 voyages in ~30 mins. I think the challenges should be the main sources of doubloons, not the limited voyages on an already time limited event. A swabbie might get all 3 of them stolen and then that's it, only the minority of the playerbase are determined enough to search for people for hours, this part of the event is just not fun.. I don't have a problem with pvp, but just punching down on bad players isn't it.

    @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

    @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 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.

    @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
