We have all been there — you traveled across the map with the wind at your back with ease in search for treasure, but the trip home took 5x as long due to an unfavorable wind direction.
The perfect solution is here:
Alternating wind directions! With alternating wind directions, if you’re getting bad wind — no problem. Just cruise north or south to the next server to get a wind direction more favorable.
It could work like this: When wind is eastbound on A1, wind is westbound on A2, eastbound on A3, and so forth. The wind direction could alternate with each server number (or letter). Wind direction could still change over time as it does now, but alternating wind directions would help experienced sailors get to their destinations within a reasonable time-frame and avoid the dutiful, chore-like slogs of sailing for long periods of time against the wind.
