I understand where the OP is coming from to a degree. I try to have fun with this game up until some bug causes me to lose everything then I'll give it up for a few months and try again when a significant patch comes out. Rinse and repeat.
On the other hand, the developers need to be held accountable for a game we payed for. This is not a free to play game although maybe it should have been and which would have been more tolerable. They have a tendency not to be very communicative with their community so this is unfortunately how our points have to be made.
I can't speak for everyone, but my biggest source of frustration is with the fact that this game has SO MUCH POTENTIAL but is getting squandered away with poor decision making and not fixing the bugs. This game could be amazing and so much fun if they would just listen to their community and focus on fixing bugs and making a great pirate adventure sailing game.
