I might start playing again now that they got rid of the stupid grind.... good move

The PVP you can instantly get is lame. Most people want to take part in the conquest game, politics, and on a older server that will always have huge grind attached to it, until they fix the port battle system. Once they remove SOLs from deep water ports, the game will be better.

You can farm fighting 1v1 with a friend, certainly so if your sinking ships while doing it. Lets say two people come together, agree to buy basic connies for the purpose of farming. You basically have 7 sinks before one of you have to buy a new basic connie. In that time you will farm a good amt of gold and xp, and even if you can't recover 100 percent of the funds for the connie, you will come close. The benefit of said method is that you don't have to sail around looking for missions that drive people to quit the game.

They shouldn't allow you to capture any NPC ships other then traders and maybe even then you only get what they are carrying and not the ship itself. Capping ships should be a PVP feature, and should grant you the entire ship, full dur, meaning the player who losses it losses entire ship.

You couldn't pay me to go back to PVP2.

assets are easy come easy go,

Praise god, this will be a very huge positive for the game.

The problem is that all we have is swallow + deep water battles. Deep water is to board, they need a mid tier for port battles. What I think they should do is have a 3rd tier for regional port battles which is 3rd and above only. Then have deep water cerb to Trin only.

what purpose does a neutral faction really serve, I don't get it.

I never wanted to go pirate in the first place, but seeing that I was new to PVP1 and the clan that recruited me and helped me when I first came to PVP1 just days before up and went pirate, I decided to tag along. I hate being part of a zerg, and when I found out my PVP2 homies were coming over and going US, I had to return...

Well congrats, your only of the only few that will stick around after having hours on hours wiped away.

Awesome, can't wait to watch it later tonight

This is always the case for PVP games that have power creeps connected to grinding, its also one of the things that keeps PVP centered MMORPGs niche market. I think back to darkfall, that game was such a wonder to play when Darkfall 1 first released and the server was rather close to each other in terms of leveling + skill. Said game had tons of skills, no skill cap so what happened? People power leveled, got OP, rekted everything, which made all the other PVPers go into PVE grind mode. The grind was so long for new players coming in that they refused to stay after they have been ganked and looted by OP older players that have nothing better to do then camp noob spawns since no one is PVP'ing other then the elite few who power leveled. Its a vicous cycle.. hardcore players grind hard, troll the casuals, make the casuals quit, try to hold on with low pop numbers, then quit themselves and complain about pop numbers blaming the devs for something they created.

That got me chat banned, I have reformed my ways, SORRY, I prefer tattered tots now

Actually I don't insult anyone, I just enjoy reading others that do... I'm sorry if this offends you..... meso sorry..... #SORRY
