    @HitboTC @SeaOfThieves This is so bad. Almost as bad as when I was attacked for giving feedback in Alpha when the rainbow flag was put in the game. I thought it would cause issues for a game I loved, and it has. (That was a private forum) Yet it was shared all over Twitter and I was attacked brutally.

    I can’t even put into words how disheartening it is to see #SeaOfThieves in the state it’s currently in. We have Community Managers behaving unprofessionally, Discord mods acting like they rule the world, and both think they're above the rest of us. United in censoring discussion around individuals who have absolutely ZERO place in this community and pose an actual threat to everyone in it. All while players are constantly being gaslit by those same CMs and mods into believing the community isn’t in complete disarray when it very clearly is. What makes this even worse is that these are the very people whose job is supposed to be upholding the community’s values, the Pirate Code, and Microsoft’s Terms of Service. But it feels like nothing is being enforced at all. Situations like this are 100% avoidable too. If the CM team had genuinely listened to the community and addressed these concerns and allegations early on and did something about it, things never would have reached this point. To be clear, this issue has absolutely nothing to do with the production or creative development side of the game. Please don't tag developers, artists, designers, or other team members into discussions they have no involvement in. Our criticism and calls to action are specifically directed at the community management side of Sea of Thieves. That team needs serious retraining, and a reevaluation of whether certain individuals even possess the requirements needed to continue representing the Sea of Thieves community in their current roles. I'm so tired of this, I just want to play the game man... @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd

    Some @SeaOfThieves viewers/streamers really need a reality check on what cheating actually looks like. Watched a streamer get sniped 3x in an hour today. The fights were suspicious (insane air shots, constant mid-air hits, etc.), but the chat was screaming "cheater" for things that were easily debunked. Ladder speeds were normal on VOD, and "insta-kills" were just players not being full HP. (I also encounter this kind of problem, but I always check a clip out or rethink what happened) It’s easy to lose cool live, but we have to analyze before we accuse. Grateful the streamer kept a level head. The REAL issue? Public sites still exist that track specific players and server ship counts. How is this still live after a months? Cloudflare should be handing over data for a lawsuit at this point. Hoping this reaches the right eyes. @ChappersChapman @S0nicbob

    We have this problem with #SeaOfThieves as well. And it doesn't matter if you write to Microsoft HR or the Board or anyone else. Your email gets dumped in the trash. Your voice doesn't matter. CMs for video games can do whatever they want apparently and silence their community. If only you knew how bad it is over here. We feel your pain, though. As a consumer, we aren't allowed to have an opinion or voice them.

    @MOB_xGAMERx @SeaOfThieves The code of conduct that’s on the wall of the tavern says “keep battles on the seas” or something along those lines and instead of taking it to mean “don’t bring problems out of the game” and instead take it literally to mean “you can only battle people on the open water”

    @SeaOfThieves Disappointing mess of a weekend. Dabloons not tracking or lagging hard. Text not showing on instructions. Rage inducing bilge rat tasks. Having to wait a whole day for a fireworks display to be at a certain outpost. The fishing was chill but pointless as no dabloons

    @Lym0nade @RealLifeWookie @SeaOfThieves Again you can keep bringing these " numbers " Idgaf, I don't believe 250k people did login last month, to play play SOT. I just don't see it, Windrose out? so many other games too, yeah this is bs numbers. Not to be mean, I just dont believe these made up numbers.

    Looking at these reviews for @SeaOfThieves on Xbox and A LOT of them want the same thing. A PVE mode where you can play with friends. I don’t understand why this is a bad thing. Remove safer seas. Make that an “Invite only” server and allow up to 6 boats. Problem solved.

    Hey, so, no. You didn't listen for years. Your community management team didn't do their jobs. Fire the people who failed the commu ity. Stop this virtue signaling bullshit and prove you recognize the problems by removing the people responsible. #seaofthieves #rare

    @fraudatori @SeaOfThieves I am lost, are you agreeing that you have to login and play, or disagreeing? Because either way you have to log in and play to be on the ledgers, that is an irrefutable fact. Nowhere have your screenshots proved your initial argument that you're automatically on the ledger

    @SeaOfThieves #seaofthieves punishing the player base for your mistakes is not the way to solve problems. this issue should have been solved on day1 of the weekender not a month later how are people supposed to make doubloons when the only doubloon item is 10 at base value

    @SeaOfThieves Great actually. I have been playing other games and havent plyed since January. I keep checking but continue to see the devs are just as incompetent as always! To those playing, your complaints are being heard but they dont care and it will continue to be a broken mess

    @TormentedTofu @KingHotdogPig @SeaOfThieves "Correction: j0 and shirah have been deleting messages" this was a completely different CM. They CMs are rare employees and their actions reflect those of the company when doing business at work. The issue is larger than it seems despite attempts to minimize

    Custom Seas is going to be a lot of fun. It feels like it's been designed more with content creators in mind than the average player but I think most people will still get a good laugh out of it and create some memorable moments. The problem is that fun side content and seasonal content are not really the same thing. If this is supposed to help carry an entire Season alongside the occasional returning limited time event then it just is not enough by itself. Season 21 needs to land with some real weight behind it. Adventure Mode needs meaningful additions. New ships, new islands or even entirely new regions. Give players fresh reasons to explore the world and engage with the game in different ways. What we do not need is another couple of delivery missions wearing a fancy new outfit and pretending to be a major update. We have been sailing that particular route for quite a while now. #SeaOfThieves is at its best when it surprises people and gets the community genuinely excited to jump in and see what is new. It feels like it is time for that again. Anything less will mean terrible engagement.

    I don’t make a lot of comments about sot issues but it is truly baffling to me how much the SoT community is blowing up right now and Rare is staying silent and dodging it. Action needs to be taken. Do better @SeaOfThieves and you need to FIRE @j0toro
