Other players also accused him of doing this. This happened to pirate players near Baracua
A player named "captain mmzhlb" from the BARMY clan baits a couple of his ally faction players into a PVP battle against his friends in a different faction. Then he leaves without fighting. The enemy player do not even attempt to attack him! They just type chinese to each other. Please see attached screen shot below
I am just a noob player but I love this beautiful game. I have met helpful friendly experienced players that accepted me into their clan. I am still grinding for xp mostly but I am enjoying the hell out of this game so far. I plan on playing the Naval Action long term with the new friends and I look forward to being able to contribute to the clan and getting into pvp action soon... I will very much likely end up buying all these beautiful DLC ships in the future, except perhaps the Le Requin. I already have the Hercules and Rattvisan so far
I laugh it off when I sink to enemy players or AI ships as it is no big deal. However, players like captain mmzhlb and his buddies that abuse the game mechanic really ruins the game... I am honestly not aware of the rules in this game and what you are allowed/not allowed to do except for the obvious. But I am confident that these type of players will turn new players away from this game and give it a bad name.
Please let me know how you treat this type of players. If there are punishments, I want to know. If there is nothing to be done, I really want to know.
Thank you for your time!
Best regards,
