BoomersGood (@BoomersGood) reportedMy dreams of wanting to be partners with SoT has long since died. I'm not supporting a group of folks that sweep important issues under the rug, victim blame, hide behind rules feel like "rules for thee not for me." There are too many rats and not enough cats #seaofthieves
-
BehavingBeardly (@BehavingBeardly) reported@knglover @SeaOfThieves This is what they want to fix! Player engagement/random encounters is KING in SoT
-
Aaron (@a_a_r0nn) reported@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

- ̗̀Ｚ ̖́- (@Zairin__) reported@romanticidexx @wizardberry2822 @SeaOfThieves Except there's tons of people complaining about bugs. I made a whole list of things that are not connection issues, but server issues. I'm running on gigabit internet, and still get understandable rubberbanding, but everyone else I play with also sees the same bugs.

Jedder Cheese (@JedderCheese05) reported@SeaOfThieves How about you fix your support team. I've been ignored for 4 days straight now.

AboutSelphy (@AboutSelphy) reportedSome @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. 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

Andre (@AndreMacca22) reported@SeaOfThieves @RareLtd @Rare Adding to this its sad to see a game that was in my life since i was 15 fall so far as it has, why cant you fix bugs,remove the acts system and add more permant content instead of taking it away like molten sands, that was incredibly fun cause it used the trading companies
-
4ostboy (@4ostboy) reportedSo yesterday me and my friends decided to redownload @SeaOfThieves on PS5 they all managed to login successfully but I couldn’t. I tried every email I have ever used and none of them worked how is that possible. I know my in game gamer tag and have a receipt of purchase

Captain Long Face (@OpochLongFace) reported@SeaOfThieves @Twitch Your reputation sunk after 10 devs couldn't help BurntPeanut with the DDOS situation
-
KingHotdogPig (@KingHotdogPig) reported@Musks_a_cunt @SeaOfThieves To protect players they should start by firing j0 and Shirah and updating their policies to better protect players. But that has nothing to do with the rest of the dev teams. The people building the game don’t control staffing or policy decisions. Expecting those people to stop working because of failures in another department isn’t right, and blaming them for issues they have no authority over makes all of us who have been talking about this look stupid. j0 has been actively deleting evidence during an ongoing investigation (which is illegal). And Shirah has been deleting peoples messages in the discord who speak up about this. That is who the community should be against.

Stay wild. (@WildsWrath) reported@SeaOfThieves fix the mmr its un playable. i have no fun in hourglass or adventure. love the game. but like come on. i have 300 hours in the game and I'm going against people with 4000 hour no joke. with even a gold curse. WTF.
-
Jesusisking1661 (@JaneDoeMirmir) reported@hasmoq @SeaOfThieves Oh? That's crazy because I had this happen to me a few days ago, it's in my videos on twitch. I got the unstable connection notification and decided to log out and restart PC. Is this a way to know there are hackers? I've also encountered the Garrison dive glitch 1/2

Bryan Knapp (@Knapper18) reported@SeaOfThieves Lone Cove in the cave by the broken rowie
-
Jumperovsky (@Jumper92PL) reported@SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves I have written a detailed ticket that I can't send sadly. Actually would prefer to not write my issues on X and have them solved here as many community players can't get enough spotlight on themselfs most of the time here and be treated properly.
-
MEMPAVRAI (@mempavrai) reported@SeaOfThieves @girlfromthecave he tried but the server got DDOS'ed

0riginalpiratematerial (@0riginalpirate1) reportedThe statement didn't mean anything really did it you can make any positive u want but it isn't gonna fix the core problem here games cooked and most would rather have drops than protect kids #fucksotpartner #fucksot #seaofthieves

꩜ Dreamcast Forever (@Nemesis2K) reportedLast ship standing just killed of my drive to "getting everything" in sea of thieves, that includes all the emporium items. I will now only play to unlock achievements as they are added. I am done. For that, I am thankful. @SeaOfThieves, forcing me to sit through 40+ minute queue times to get into a game with cheaters, I am just not doing it. Since this will be the first set of cosmetics since launch that have been obtainable to everyone in the player base I wont get, I see no reason to keep trying. The streak/curse has been broken, It was a good run. Now, back to Forza Horizon 6.

Victor Escamilla (@CallMeViCtoR) reported@Musks_a_cunt @KingHotdogPig @SeaOfThieves you work on the 3rd floor of a 10 floor company building, the problem was on the 3 ofices that are in the corner of the 5th floor, all the building needs to stop working cus of those 3 ofices making the problem?
-
almtychcknpoo (@AlmtyChcknPoo) reported@myweeweetinybro @SeaOfThieves Also much of my plight with CM was addressing the ban problems, which is still a problem. Blocking us for a negative opinion is bullocks.
-
OphieIRL (@OphieIRL) reportedHold Rare accountable. They won't do it themselves. Do not let this turn into a joke or a developer issue. A child was hurt because of Rare's continued lax approach to player safety. This kid needs us to step up, and those who don't are failing them. #Rare #seaofthieves

Isak (@kukizen1) reported@SeaOfThieves fix your game fellas servers are dying

Copper🔜 SoTFest 2026 Panelist (@Coppertailwolf) reported@coldsot_ @SeaOfThieves I had this bug in insiders- because it was testing I didn’t leave and saw it thro and had people pissed but I was like “literally following through on the testing- the entire purpose of right now” That being said I got the same bug yesterday and scuttled cause I don’t want to win like that XD it’s a very broken bug - you’re untouchable too outside the ring closing in. I imagine a lot of people will do the same in that situation, but unfortunately a lot won’t.
-
Venom (@VenomousSloth7) reported@SeaOfThieves Is Custom Seas gonna make regular server feel even more dead? Are hackers gonna be able to access it and crash it so that larger streamers cant even play it? Is it gonna be a buggy mess like the game is? 🤔
-
blvcklung (@real_blvcklung) reportedWith everything going on in the SoT community right now, it’s been really disappointing to see certain creators and familiar faces either show their true colours or stay completely silent, It’s honestly horrible seeing how broken parts of this community really are. #SeaOfThieves
-
Cora (@romanticidexx) reported@wizardberry2822 @Zairin__ @SeaOfThieves Same, & I'm running on HOTSPOT ROUTERS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WOODS!!! We don't have the cables dug for access to highspeed internet, so if ANYONE should be lagging & having major issues with bugs, it's me LOL (It would cost around $10k USD just to dig & install cables for access).
-
Matt (@Sloopflex) reportedI 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
-
Professor Trunkerz (@SeaOfTrunkerz) reportedMy last LSS match had 2 airborne boats & one that never surfaced. Emerging from under water looks cool, but seems to cause more issues in this game mode. @SeaOfThieves #SeaOfThieves

Kazz 🇩🇰 (@coolstorykazz) reported@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.

ThatOneWidowmaker (@MaZu_iceTea) reported@ManVsMiniatures @SeaOfThieves Its written by their legal team not rare. They know how to phrase stuff without getting into more trouble. While I do agree, law wise their respond is sadly the only correct way.

Optic (@khalidageele) reported@SeaOfThieves Fix ur game
