This is a huge problem on server 2. One of the VH's of another top guild has taken it upon himself to sink as many ships in my guild as he can. The situation has become akin to the Hatfields and McCoys as what started as a war of words has devolved into a sink fest with three of our guys sinking him on sight and him handing off map after map to his alts in order to sink our entire guild as much as possible. I don't have a problem with being sunk for maps that are to be used for sails. That's part of the game. What I do have a problem with is sinking players out of spite and then handing off the map to an alt just so you can immediately turn around and sink another. We have given this player a pass on several occasions with no let up on his part and so the feud continues. I don't know what the answer is. I do know that many players have alts they use as a map source to get in more than one sail. The most recent patch that put maps into the Assistant chests was a brilliant move on Tynon's part I think because this effectively eliminates the need for alts as map sources. Or at least it should seeing as how there are now three different ways to get maps from your own account without having to loot one. In fact, after the maps were put into the Assistant chests, I have seen way more participation by small players in Pirates over the past few days than I have in months. This is encouraging. Now if they can just figure out a way to limit the antics of players like the aforementioned VH who hands off dozens of maps in order to be a real pirate. That will be Tynon's next challenge.
