I think alot of people dont sail around with ships because of them(The bigger ones are more like Trophys). And i think its funnier to PVP then PVE thats why i choosed PVP Server. NPCs are dumb but i drove around with Sloop getting up to 4 Ghost ships spawning at the same time. wtf is that?? after this new patch that just came. Atleast they should put them to a designated area where we can go farm them soo its easier to PVP cause then i can pirate those who is farming them
To answer you on AFK sailing that will solve itself if you let everyone out sailing cause then people will pirate around. I would crewed one ship with my guild just to pirate around.
I think there would be more players if we allowed all ships out to the sea. Ship of the Shit should get removed or atleast designated farming area for them.
Then just remove EXP for exploring. if thats a problem... We have to sail out for diffrent ressoursers anyways.
If you think Ghost ships are fun go to PVE server if you think PVP is fun go to PVP server. I dont wanna waste ressoursers or want to fight them ghost ships. i wanna kill players ships PVP is more exciting.
