Economy missions a bit broken?

[Complete-Disaster]

HI

So im making around 15-20k doubloons in roughly 2-4h afk sailing and playin other games.
I start up in somerset and picking up missions while visiting flatts and st george town.
Afterwards im heading down to "Rum cove" and deliver 3 missions granting me 4-5k doubloons,
Im picking upp all round missions and then deciding where i want to go further. normaly there is 3 choice's. "North America", "Hispaniola Area" & "Leward islands".
With a bit of luck its North american side and i can start my long journey. once i delver first missioni start looking for more 3k missions. very often they lead to the same area.

So while your doing this, there is this small issue:
Apperantly you can abandon missions and still be able to deliver them and get the doubloons.
So while sailing along american coast you can pick up 10-15 additional missions set for hispaniola Area and probably be getting around 2-3k/mission.

is it just me thinking that making 50k dubs in 6h is abit broken with hardly no effort?

The missions have to be like that so if someone captures them from you they can still claim the reward.

Plus you are doing it wrong picking up so many missions. All you need to do is find a mission rewarding around 3k doubloons and then get 23 friends to take the mission and trade the item to you in the hold of a basic cutter. That way you get 24 missions to hand in at one location for best part of 70k doubloons.

If you get really greedy and you have more friends you can also use fleet ships to take more.

But you are right the system is open to abuse, but not so much because of the abandoned missions but because of the ability to trade. At least with the mission abandoning all you are doing is circumventing the mission limit.

Yes mission item should be unique. No duplicates of the same person in the same hold should be allowed.

From where I'm standing it sounds like they're well deserved. Only half joking and I understand the issue, carry on!

Who the hell has 23 friends?  Maybe like 2-3 friends with about 20 alts total...lol

Actually I think I might just have to do something like this...with my three US chars....lol

You dont even need friends, just find a mission worth around 3k doubloons and offer people like 200 doubloons to take the mission and trade it to you in a basic cutter, you still make 2.8k doubloons on each one handed in.

I think can be a possibility to fill the gap on traderness with passengers and letters, but it should be nerfed @admin
