Dear Staff,
The Caribbean Pirates adventure is broken. The strong players steal all the maps and take all the trips. If you want to make more money, you should fix the Caribbean Pirates adventure. Normal players can not participate in the Caribbean Pirates adventure. Their maps are usually stolen as soon as they board a ship. Players should only be able to steal maps from players of equal power.
Remember, happy players keep playing. Unhappy players quit. More players means more money.

Carribean pirates is just a little bonus. From lvl 30 till lvl 47 i havent even used them for everyday matter, so you can just skip it, not a big deal. If you want to get succesfull ride - find strong player to carry you, for example you have 300k power - then find someone with 1,500k power to cover your back - thats all. Curently Caribbean pirates is only good way to hunt low lvl players, to get atleast some coins / credits, cus high lvl players after 50 lvl have no income from players of same lvl.
This is PvP game after all, dont forget that. If you consider something as broken - it dosnt mean its really broken, sometimes its just our imagination. There is enaught other events types to use, as well as more coming in next patches, so dont panic.
I agree with FGBrunner, however realize the "haves" simply state we need to grow to be able to compete. Since I'm unable to complete the mini-game due to the very reasoning stated, I will no longer participate in it.
I appreciate the teamwork aspect and would have liked to see it succeed. It's broken and I'll not participate in a game that's so lopsided it punishes lower level players.

You aren't punished whatsoever. It is only a small bonusQuote:

You should have seen it when attackers didn't heal. Now that wasn't fun...Quote:

I've tried at 10:00 PST, 20:00 PST and 0300 PST, and there's always some sharky butthead with ridiculous power, ten levels above me that beats me over the head and takes my map. It's not PVP when you have absolutely no chance of winning. It's just ritual sacrifice.
its not broke i sink ships that have a combined power equal to double my own power. Just be patient and use some strategy
Power is deceptive. However, it appears to be one of the few methods of measuring actual combat potential. I still stand with my previous statements, (minus "punished"). Perhaps the developers can measure the completion rate to see our purely anecdotal reports of skewed success or lack thereof.Quote:

For those of you who say it isn't broken, I would love to ask (and get an honest answer) if your character's power is above 200k?
Because for everyone else (the vast majority), it IS BROKEN.
