I agree, but they do need to fix some basic mechanics. When a person spawns in their ship, they should have a few seconds in invulnerability. I boarded a sloop and killed the two pirates on it. I aimed the ship at some rock and it got a few holes. I knew they were about to respawn and waited behind the anchor. They spawned up right in front ove me and I blunderbussed them before they even had a chance to move. I felt bad for doing it, but what else was I to do?I LOVE how butt hurt noobs are crying about "griefing" on this game......it's a f'n PIRATE GAME. Pull up your britches and defend yourself.
I could see a situation where someone boards a ship and just spawn kills the person over and over again without ever trying to sink their ship or take thier loot. Just a second or two of invulnerability would help.
