  @SeaOfThieves What an absolute shambles this once great and noble game has become. And to the people in the comments saying “never mind, take your time” - demand more than this continuously piss poor service.

  @SeaOfThieves You really have trouble reading the "vibe check," don't ya? Christ. I understand needing to move forward at some point, but come on. At least let us see these "noticeable changes" first. Now, I think that was just a load of feel-good nonsense.

  @fredder6489 @SeaOfThieves Epic does it to "dogfood" their own engine, showing it off and also finding development issues. Considering their scale, that has massive value. Rare has no such incentive, especially when the game already runs so poorly.

  @MissusPeanut @SeaOfThieves It's fine to leave a hobby you no longer enjoy. It's also fine to enjoy it after having a break. If complaining about your hobby replaces your actual hobby, you have a problem. Finding a better hobby is the mature thing to do.

  @TheDruhMooreon @codeman25955 @SeaOfThieves Dude's out here spreading drama. Let the new players enjoy all the wonders SoT has to offer! Sure there's a cheater problem, but there's also ways around it ESPECIALLY for a new player. And updates haven't been the same, but that doesn't matter to a new player. Let them have fun.

  @HitboTC @sandthegame @SeaOfThieves Sand definitely has a lot of work needing done to fix bugs and get the cheating under control. Don’t get me wrong it’s definitely fun, but definitely has an uphill battle to polish it up

  My 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

  @SeaOfThieves Any update on why the Xbox servers have severe lag every-time anyone plays ? Or gonna keep pretending it isn’t a thing 👏🏻

  @AlmtyChcknPoo "We have this problem with #SeaOfThieves as well." - You are obsessed.

  @MurpheyLives @SeaOfThieves @Rare_Gamer This is the worst possible statement you could make. "Clear his name"??? It is OVER. There is nothing to clear. The best you could've done is apologizing for your poor judgment, but considering you were part of that disgusting joke a year ago, I guess you regret nothing. It's not a problem that people like that lose the community. The problem is that they did NOT lose it for the first obvious signs. Goodbye.

  Now I understand why honesty was such a problem. Time all the mods out for 7 days., that'll show em. #SeaOfThieves #BeMorePirate #seperateworkfromfriends

  Players report under the official post that the challenges are not visible AGAIN! Allegedly already fixed and tested, and again failed on live. Typical? Let me know if you encountered the issue and on what platform! #seaofthieves #bemorepirate #belessabsurd

  @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support Honestly tired of the constant excuses and issues. This company has fallen to below mediocre level.

  @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.

  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. 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

  @aDreamingNomad @SeaOfThieves Even if you encounter it on retail server sometime u won t unlock the commendation, we already see some case while a cheater came and answer from support is … we can t unlock the commendation… so I don t see any issue to have it on custom server…
