    There is a group of players in this server that(as with GAMA)  are mostly pirates and have decided to go the route of making the Plunder skill important to them, ranking it, refining it, and getting all the Oxford skill associated with it.They feel like they worked very hard to do all that, so, they want "a couple of things" from all the other players:

    1) The ability to take anything from you when they pirate you, and I do mean anything. I mean, hey, they worked so hard to rank and refine the Plunder skill. The least we can do is let them be able to take all our stuff, including Cash Shop items, when they ruin our day.

    2) To be the only in-game source of SSB's. Again, they worked so hard at ranking that Plunder skill, why shouldn't they be able to control the market on an important in-game item they can charge billions for? They say "anyone can get and refine Plunder and get their own SSB" which is true. And there potentially is another source for an SSB in-gamethat they are vehemently opposed to this server getting: As a Memorial Album reward, like all the other servers get. With that, a Shipbuilder, can get an SSB with the Shipbuilding skill and help from a high rank Handicrafts character. That would so ruin their plans if a Shipbuilder could do that.

    And that's it. That' what those players want most. And if Papaya Play gives it to them, then it proves that this is indeed a pirate controlled server

    cry us all a river. the game itself makes plunder the only real money making tool for a fillibuster (the pirate title). I could spell out why but we're all just crums looking to piss on your parade ay.

    "cry us all a river, the game itself makes plunder the only real money making tool for a Filibuster". So, get another job. Or a Trader alt. High level/skill rank Adventure type players(like me...well, will be again xD) usually have a Trade alt character they use to raise ducats with to fund Adventuring, because even though there are high price items they can discover and sell, that usually needs to be supplemented by trading. Now, Traders should defiantly be able to financially support themselves via their activities and skills alone, but. they are the only class that should be able to do that. And anyone that thinks otherwise is deluding themselves. What the pirates want(as they did on GAMA) is to be be able to to make piracy more of a going concern/money maker, if not with stealing other players stuff, then with SSB's. How incredibly arrogant.

    also pirates in uwo aint running anything there flat out just trying to stay afloat, ya got no clue what its like being a pirate do ya. pirate controlled server please...

    you also have no idea how plunder works or how much is involved in obtaining such a rare item the trouble of getting a rare fleet to spawn the fight said fleet will put up the fact these fleets spawn in known locations and pirates cant hide there names from a search making it kind of silly to be plundering rare items as a pirate.

    pirate control of anything goes out the window when the war ships show up

    @Twitchalot No matter what you say according to people everyone is wrong to them and they are always right. So I guess people that know it all want things their way and screw everyone else no matter what they state as their concerns or what  they say

    Aahh, I love it. The more I stick to logic, common sense and reasoning, the cruder and more lowbrow the others go, thus proving a point I've been making for years about 95% of one type of player......and if you are one of those type players and wonder what that point is, it's just been made again.

    @twitch
    I am wondering how many times since the relaunch have you lost expensive items to plunder?
    Or how many times have you been pirated at all since the relaunch?
    Is your whole gear based on speculation?
    I play all day in hostile waters and have not been approached by a pirate yet.
    I think you are overstating the whole situation.

    What they could look at is NPC plunder, or fix disconnection issues, lose items to a player is....OK, after all they chose to be pirates because can't do anything else :P jk. The problem is that UWO has never been a stable game about random DCs and errors that kick players from game, I've lost (luckily) a couple recipes and scholar maps do to it, so if it's possible please, nerf NPC plunder as it is impossible to make 
    UWO a stable game and no one gains anything by leaving it as it is.

    I can't argue against those that wish to have the expensive cash item unplunderable. No one wants to spend money on something just to have it taken away.
    Would be great if they were able to find a way to protect it from plunder from the original purchaser, but once traded.........fair game.
  • THawk420THawk420 Posts: 210Member Trainee
    i think that may be tricky iirc the only non consumabules that are safe from plunder are the non trade items n i think thats what kept em safe in the past.....

    Hi everyone,

    I was shock after coming back from a long vacation of the reset....
    But anyhow, they should make everything plunder-able.

    As a former pirate during the Nerfed era, many that I pirated would cry, whine, threaten, insult me for days or weeks sometimes. And that was because I slowed them down for a minute and maybe got 1m from them. I can begin to imagine how it will be if they lose anything now.
    I would assume their swearing will be heard even by their mothers upstairs.

    PS. Ron Jeremy was by far the worst i ever seen.
    I actually had to tell him I would screen shot what he was saying and have him banned because he was spamming insults for about 5 days. I mean several a minute (some were rather funny).
    I never would have turned him in, but it shut him up. And I pirated him again that week. :)

    Ah Ron Jeremy my company's deputy's arch nemesis  lol.  I never met a more politically conservative obsessed guy in my life...really crazy guy. Nice job pirating there lol.

    It's not always easy trying to keep all those EA goods (ie: cheap Chinese knockoffs) from being smuggled into the EU by criminals ( call themselves Merchants).
    I do my best to intercept their dangerous cargo.

    How is ones who buy EA goods are criminals for bringing in  EA goods that they bought. And sail in open waters smuggling them in?
  • CulvernCulvern Posts: 646Member Intermediate
    Now you sound just like Pablo Escobar. He just moved goods too.
    Thank God there are decent people (pirates) around to try bringing you evil ones to justice!

    Pirates are the evil ones since the merchants are not chased out of ports lol
  • CulvernCulvern Posts: 646Member Intermediate
    If Nanban goods were legal how come you Have to Bribe the EA officials to get them? Bribery is a crime, which make the act of purchasing of transporting EA goods unlawful!
    If they were not unlawful you would be able to transport them by legal means (liners and canals).
    Instead of trying to build the fastest ships you can so that you can try running through our boarders!
    Pirate customs and board protection to the rescue!

    When the coast guard stops and confiscates a boat loaded with cocaine do you say that the coast guard are pirates

    So I guess you can consider nutmeg and mace from SEA and pepper from India illegal also. And you know I think it is funny how a ex  privateer as you used to call yourself try to make pirates sound legal/ If pirates was legal then how come they are hunted by bounty hunters while merchants are not?

    if such items can be plunderable make pirates unable to enter any national port ,and make em attackable everywhere by anyone ,simple like that ,otherwise soon you will have all seas red filled by freeps who will want have cash items

    Well if you all read the user agreement when you signed up or transferred all item/characters are papayaplay property they state they can remove and or change any items without compensation so as some stated protect your items or they can be lost

    I have no problem with selling Captains ticket Items since it is a lottery and with the loss of bank delivery for your purchases you should be able to sell your unwanted items, however i am totally using uwc purchased items to obtain game Ducs.  As far as plundering Game made items and consumables I can see being plundered but as for taking purchased items Come on Guys not all of us have deep pockets.
    If you can plunder my purchased armor and weapons why not my ship a real pirate would.  How about make it so you can take everything and kill off a persons character.  

    As far as the game being historical or even accurate. Give me a break Row boats with Supersonic speed and high sea handling abilities. OG  turned the game into a ridiculous pirate game.  Where true fighting ships of the 16th and 17th century don't stand a chance against their antiquated predecessors.

    When we says that OGP fails when they made things unplunderable for pirates = 
    It is the same thing we says Papaya will succeed when they reverse the situation.

    Ask yourselves and look at Papaya. Do they succeed now?

    Pirates has the best quality of time, yet Papaya's situation is even worse than the worst time in OGP.



    Balance is the key of everything.

    When you took something from the pirates, don't make everything unplunderable. You lost your pirates players and customers.

    When you make items become plunderable, don't make almost everything is plunderable. By that you are making the game unplayable.

    To achieve a balance, you must understand how the game works.
    To understand, you must study the game.

    This requires hardwork, dedication, and beliefs in the things you do, with a positive mind that it will succeed.
