Crimson pretty much summarized it. In our eyes looting other players like that is just part of the game. We do it to others and they do it to us, that’s how the feature was designed. Compared it to Sea of Thieves before. Didn’t realize the forum community had such a strong stance against it
Now I don’t know how SoT works but having several hours of grind just taken away from you because you got unlucky much less for “a little bit of trolling” and being thrown in a PvP situation you never had any chance in (one guy in a half broken brig vs 5 metamancers in fully functioning brigs) isn’t something the vast majority of people in these forums will ever think is acceptable.
Ya’ll showed off like 100 stolen dark sealed chests there total if not more, that’s atleast 5 hours of grind, probably substantially more, just deleted on the whims of a group of people that decided they wanted to be assholes.
(also nobody even implied they liked SoT to begin with lol)
mainly saying that cus of this.
System was designed to be like SoT, allowing players to steal loot from others, so naturally there’s a risk when stocking up on any kind of loot.
I understand why people would be upset but you’re playing a game that allows, and encourages, this kind of gameplay. AO is focused around pirates after all. It’d be like playing DayZ then complaining someone killed you to steal your loot.
I agree that teaming ain’t exactly fair though. Idk how you’d fix that
You can say that the system was designed for that but it’s obvious that most people who gank Dark Sea returners will do it in large groups so the feature is inherently very flawed since mostly organised groups will do it.
Things around dark sealed or just sealed should be changed in general since you can’t expect solo players or friend groups to defend against large organised gank guilds. You yourself agreed that teaming isn’t fair so I believe you should understand this.
They aren’t, but I’m so used too much worse that ONE case of people spec abusing is pretty tame in my mind
Tbh.
The ganking and looting was annoying, but, I suppose it is a feature ingame.
However, what really got my gears grinding was all the trashtalking.
Like, it’s already bad enough for the victim here to be sunk and have all their loot stolen by a bunch of, quite frankly min maxed tryhards, but then rubbing salt in the wound by having the AUDACITY to talk shit to them? that’s just cruel.
The trashtalking is what put you guys in the worst light imo

People should brainstorm ideas on how to fix the issue and make a suggestion cus otherwise there’s no hope of anything changing
fair. scummy thing to do
Maybe there should be a benefit to a player getting ganked. As soon as you get hit by a second person, maybe you get some health back, some damage reduction, and increased speed? And it can stack based off how many people hit you with an attack.
And the fact it was a 5v1
7v1s boutta turn the gank victim into a raid boss holy shit
It would be REALLY funny tho
The glorious Light of Noble 
I wanna see that now. Throw in an increase of all stats honestly.
Also could be used to set up raid boss events for guilds or in elysium lol
