2000+ hours player here
SoT used to be a good game with its issues but right currentlty now the game is dogshit, we complained about anti cheat for years but when we finally got it all people had to do was fucking disable it to be able to fly, teleport, go invincible, crash servers. etc etc. Rare hardly listens to its playerbase BTW 8/10 of the "Patches/updates" are 90% focused on the emporium. An average season adds in like 3-4 new shit features (yes im talking about the new shit weapons) the state of hourglass is horrondeus. You''re either queuing some guys with 5 hours on the game 5000, or cheaters. Oh and btw if you're on console just stick to console servers have fun fighting an pc players (which I am) this game is good for about the first 100-300 hours then it just gets repetitive you're either logging on to do a quest, get gold (for nothing other than cosmetics LMAO) or kill people. Goodluck doing PvP outside of hourglass because the 2-3 boats on your server at peak times will be halfway across the world and won't be visible on the map, especially if you're good at the game open world PvP is a joke because everyone is worse than you (no offense) The SoT community is joke btw even when you win a fight you will get shit talked for no apparent reason and vise versa. Also not to mention Rare the company itself is corrupt.
