If you count a few years playing Sea of Thieves on and off with close friends and family along with a deed to a sloop class as experienced...
I usually keep to myself outside of known company, being a major introvert. I tend to lean toward the Privateer style of play (focus on the bottom line as opposed to "KDR"). Often stick the Point Break approach to looting, especially when on a solo shakedown. Sid Meier's Pirates brought me to Sea of Thieves and I keep coming back for the fellowship.
Just out of curiosity, does anyone use nautical terminology to any degree in communication?
