    Caribbean Pirates is broken.

    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.

    ^This, exactly this

    In our guild we have successfully ferried players with less than 1m power by pairing them up with our strongest players.

    I'm not the smallest of players and even with the biggest player I've been sunk. It can just a matter of luck who's out on the prowl for a map. It's a bit daft saying its broke when Caribbean pirates is anything but.

    Morgan - the Pirates minigame opens at L30, or something, right? You say "under 1 million power", like 1million is easy to reach or something.

    My character on 29 has 179k. I am trying to utilize runes to best effect, smithing, and talenting my butt off. I am the third strongest in my guild. The other two have 250k and 190k. We get slaughtered. Every time. BECAUSE people like you think it's not broken.

    You talk about 1 Million Power like it's nothing. Something you burped out long ago. If it were possible, I'd let you try the Pirates game with my character... for a week. So you can see how busted it is.

    One million power is a lot bigger than 100k-200k, and it represents a god-awful imbalance. I'm reading the wikis, checking the tips from winners, doing my best to follow in their footsteps, but I get squashed all of the time. It's not broken to YOU, because you have a buttload more power than 99% of the players on this game. It is self-centered blindness to not be able to see how that effects lower power players who just want to try the minigame out, only to find out that Tynon has to be a full-time job for them to be competitive.

    Carribean pirates is there for RICHES. Spend $2500, win pirates, spend $0, and never get to sail. That's what it comes down to. The BIG BOYS SPENDERS are the winners. SPEND = WIN.

    1 million power is easy to reach, I think and politely suggest that you need to spend more time in the rune temple. I myself, sink a good 5-10m a day in there. Just for the record in my guild there's a guy who hasn't spent a dime and is current level 60+ and riding on around 2 million power. It might interest you to note I'm current at just over 2m and I've beaten players with up to 3m. Power is all relative.

    It's common sense to use some strategy. It's wasn't too long ago, attackers attempting to sink ships healed after each player. Hell, it made the crossing almost impossible at times. Thankfully, however Tynon listened and nerfed that ability so now you don't heal.

    Will it be changed anytime soon? I doubt it so please take on board the advice given here and maybe your luck will improve.

    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 bonus

    Perhaps "punished" was a bit strong. Nonetheless, when guild members actually have to "try when the big guys are asleep" it pushes growing players away. I'll not give any more maps to those monster accounts. Perhaps something will change and make it worth playing. Until then, it'll just be a useless link, cluttering up the screen.

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