    So... I'm a level 40, with decent power - around 150k, and I STILL have never seen the other side of the ocean

    Strategy only works when the fight is close to fair. EVERY TIME I try to go sailing with anyone from my guild (I'm the 2nd strongest), one or both of us gets jacked by someone with well over 300k power. I now refuse to even be bothered with Pirates, until my power is so high as to render the game boring. And by then, as you have said, many players will have left, and I will most likely have no one to go sailing with.

    It is broken. Just because 5% of the players can make it across and don't want it changed, doesn't mean that it should not be changed.

    And, LotusBlade, your point is flawed and very inaccurate, as it depends on significant and unlikely factors occurring simultaneously: If L30 gets jacked by a 35, there would then have to be an L40 actively waiting to steal (instead of raiding the Labyrinth, Tavern, Realm, Quest, Arena, etc. Further, it would then require an L45, doing the same thing. Then and L50, L55, L60 and so on. All at the same time. The odds of this are crazy slim. And at least, the L30 would only have to fight someone who is close to their own power - leaving a chance for STRATEGY and FORMATION to mean something.

    Pirates is currently like diving into shark infested water, smeared with Spam and fish guts. Dead upon arrival. And no amount of strategy can overbalance a 200k power deficit. It sucks. It's not fun. Please do SOMETHING. All you naysayers have spoken your nays, but you have not offered an alternative that would allow lower level players to enjoy the whole game. It is sad to think that no one sees the ugly imbalance as a problem.

    You may disagree with me, but you can't deny the imbalance exists. Please offer criticism WITH ideas to remedy an obvious gameplay flaw, rather than simply disagreeing because you prefer the status quo.

    Thanks.
