Buy Your Way To Pirate Legend

I think this sounds really entitled, what about those people who spent hours shooting themselves onto thrones in stead of grinding voyages, should they not be rewarded for their effort in progression?

I think with the time me and my crew spent doing these events and helping others we could've ground another level easy.

You speak as if they didn't work for it.
But they did.

Getting it for free would be when people would get it with cookies.

I think you dislike the fact someone get Legend more easier than you. It's a bit childish to be honest. The fact you got Legend this 'quick' means you have the time to play a lot. Me for instance, I have a job and other responsibilities so I cannot play that s**t ton of time on the game. This way they lessen the grind a bit and I don't think thats wrong. When you're legend you AGAIN have a big grind of 93 athena's before you are super duper pirate legend.

I think you should be more p****d because of the lack of content for pirate legends, instead of someone else getting PL easier than you did.

EDIT: I'm at 46,40,42

@handsh0t Because of the lack of Pirate legend content I'm be stoked to see it become easier. The more legends out tere the more feasable it is to make content that applies mostly or only to legends.

I think that 1st of all you need to use Search button on a forums and 2nd stop making same threads.

Game will evolve so new players can get legendary content in few more ways than stupid grind.

So yes they can spend their doubloons like they want.

No, no. All the events have been great. Everyone competing and working at these events definitely deserve something. I'm having a blast and I'm loving my new currency. I just don't see how making it easier and easier to achieve the sought after Pirate Legend title... Well, it just takes something away.

I do find it strange that you've used "entitled" as something negative, while in the same breath seem to think those that are not Legend and those that participate in events are "entitled" to the new currency. I suppose working your way through all the events is awesome. Well, guess what. Working your way to 50/50/50 is awesome too.

Sorry. This is my first day on the forum and this was my first post. Thank you, mod.

I'm a legend and hit it over 8 weeks ago so before the RNG update and ability to purchase reputation. It doesn't bother me at all that it is now quicker for people to increase their reputation levels.

Legend doesn't mean anything anyway. There is no skill involved at all in hitting it. It simply means you have likely played the game a bit more and doesn't mean you are even any good at the game. I've played with Legends who don't have a clue how to sail and spend 20 minutes looking at the map trying to find even the largest islands.

You hit the nail on the head there, matey! This game is all about the journey you take and the adventures you have. I reached Pirate Legend yesterday by doing the trading company voyages like yourself, but I see no harm in newer players being able to 'buy' their reputation levels.

Consider this: If a pirate earned every single doubloon so far and hasn't spend a single one, they would have 250 doubloons. That would total 250 / 30 = 8 recommendations. That's 8 levels they can spend across the three factions. That doesn't get you to Pirate Legend by a long shot.

Man, the journey has been a blast! Has been. Continues to be. Even just hours ago we were having a blast working on the new event.

I agree that using the doubloons can only buy a tiny amount, over a long period, but it seems wrong. For instance, one of the guys in our crew/clan is almost a Legend now. He will not be using the doubloons to move up and entire level, as he feels like it cheapens the experience.

As stated, this is my opinion. So, thank you for a friendly and kind reply.

What about all those legends who used to cheese the merchants quests.

The legends who leeched their crew from within the brig

The legends who dropped in on crews unloading treasure.

I'm waaaaaaay more cool with spending hard earned dubloons on these levels then I'm with the type of players I just named.

Just past week I saw a Pirate legend on the ferry switching his instruments every 10 seconds. So Sad.

@murkrage Most people who meet me in game don't even know I'm a Legend ^^ I refuse to wear the title and clothes I just like my pirate as a normal run of the mill guy who happens to be able to drop Athena Missions for his crew ^^

@schelmflosse300
That's a good point you make there.

@DISLEX-fx have you ever voted to cancel missions because there werent enough X-Mark the spot maps, not enough captains on an island or golden animals? Did you cheese the merchants? If yes then you cant really complain about people taking an easier route
:-)

Ok, since I haven't seen this argument yet I'll post it.

It's a pirate game. That is the argument I constantly see to justify the many of the actions taken in this game. If you can use whatever means necessary to steal/plunder and sink other players/pirates in the game, shouldn't you do the same to work towards Pirate Legend status, as long as it is something allowed in the game...ie, no hacking, etc.

If progression in this game actually meant something, as it does in other games (unlocking certain weapons, items, powers, etc) and PL gave you special things that weren't just cosmetic, then yeah I can see the point of tarnishing the journey to PL by "paying" for it but progression is nothing in this game. It's just a journey.

If my crew and I work to get the doubloons, then we should be able to spend it on leveling up. If we go out and find treasure, sell crates of teas and sugars and kill skeleton captains, then why not let us use that cold, hard gold to buy levels. We are still playing the game but how we use the allowed mechanics to get PL shouldn't matter and shouldn't devalue our worth as PLs.

I get the "you can buy experience for your doubloons" part, but the fact that is now a whole level is a bit too much. I think it should be/have stayed a fixed amount of reputation independent of the level your are on.

@dislex-fx i loled at the first three word i played hard .... dude its not a job its a game u played hard only mean u have much more time to waste then average ppl and anyway what u get a pl .... nothing big lol so stop wanna be [Mod edited] and let ppl enjoy reaching pl a lil bit faster
