500,000 gold and Rare constantly tries to claim that this game isn't about the grind...

@el-dunco you should better buy shark hunter hull it cost only 49k
Already own it. I like it except for the shark teeth decals
First we have people complaining there be nothing to buy an' they be flush wit' gold, Rare provides a high cost item an' now people be complaining it is too expensive... Set it as a goal for yerself...
As for the look, I've not seen it so I shall not venture into that one. If, as the tales go, it just be a plain black hull... I think that's pretty good.

Very few people were asking for a single high priced item. I think most people just want more of everything instead of the way that they continue to drip feed us content week-week. I have no problem with them introducing some high priced items, but there should also be a handful of cheaper athena's gear, new legendary gear, and more than just a handful of new outfits.
The problem with introducing a single high-priced item is that it continues to emphasize that grinding is the end-all-be-all of this game. During the alpha, this game was primarily just about using the sandbox to have fun. Post launch, everything honestly feels as time-consuming as mining bitcoin. Everything has literally become about exploiting the simplistic voyage structure and poor AI as quickly and efficiently as possible for massive profit.
Does the game need more cosmetics? Certainly. But the game also needs vast improvements to the sandbox. Nobody wants to stream this game anymore, because quite honestly the game stopped being about having fun and instead is about grinding out work for gold, doubloons, and commendations. You can say that this is not the case for you, but the fact of the matter is that if you check Discord or Xbox LFG this is primarily what users are up to. Rare has essentially cultivated a bunch of SoT addicts, and have done very little to make the sandbox more enjoyable on a session to session basis which would result in a more streamable (and enjoyable) game.

I don't think you realise, when you hit legend you will have roughly 1.1 - 1.4 million gold. If you spent that on the current legend ship and other stuff before this new ship came out, then you need to grind the same amount of time as it took you to get to legend the first time round in order to buy the new ship. That's a stupid amount of time to grind for a ship that doesn't even look great.
@williamherschel I agree wit' pretty much e'erything ye say matey. More is always good. But we do have to be realistic wit' what be coming. Aye, t'would be nice if we got new cosmetics e'ery week, more clothes, more items, more guns an' sails an' hulls. But these do take time to develop an' I be accepting that perhaps I'll not like e'erything that comes out. Example being, I think both clothing sets from weekly events have been pretty terrible. I've also seen pirates wearing them, so they clearly don't agree.
Now, where I believe we differ be on the high price items. If ye've been legend for a while (full disclosure, I have been a legend about 10 days, so new to the club) ye probably have mountains o' gold. I know some of my regular crewmates have 2 million, 1.5 million, big piles of treasure an' nothing to do wit' it. One o' them has commented on voyages many times that he would like a 1,000,000 weapon, just to make it exclusive. An' I think that be a good idea. Making new legend gear cheap as chips dilutes its worth. I'm sitting on about 600,000 gold so I could buy the new hull, but not much else. So now I have to make a decision, or I have to start saving me coin.
I don't feel that I be grinding though, I've ne'er felt the game was a grind an' I am just out there having fun. But if I know that one day my gold pile will be high enough that I can afford a specific shiney, that gives me a goal to work towards, not grind towards.
I think that last point be the... well, the point I always try to make. It's a grind if ye make it a grind. An' if ye make it a grind an' yer not having fun then perhaps this just isn't the game. If ye view it as a grind then it is only going to get worse. E'ery new event an' add-on is just another layer of 'grind', grind the gold hunters an' the order of souls, now ye can grind exploding skeletons, now ye can grind mermaid statues... now we have the grind o' skeleton ships. The game is built on a model that is probably not going to change what many see as a grind.
@mc-rossco I am a legend an' I wish I had 1,000,000 gold :) as I mentioned in me last post though, if I see a hull an' think 'ohhhh I want' then I have a wee personal goal to work towards while I be playin' the game.

I dont think so..ill be using it with founders sails ^.^
all hail the founder sails \o/
@admiral-greyjoy if you got a pic of it in the sun it would be much appreciated.
Edit: in my opinion if the ship had a “ghostly” aura around it when everything is added then I think some people will be happier, and the haters will always hate XD

That's when you reach legend yes, but at that point you can't buy the ghost ship yet.
In order to be able to buy the entire ghost ship you you need to be a level 10 Athena.
That requires 93 Chest of Legends, if I'm right.
Seeing how you get around 15K for a legendary voyage93x15000= 1.395.000 gold
So yeah 500K per item isn't that big of a deal, you're pretty much there when you can buy it from only doing Athena voyages. That's without taking all the extra loot you find on island and shipwrecks.
Regarding the looks of the hull. No clue, haven't seen it yet.
@weststormborn it has a greenish Athena like hue in addition to the black on the hull. I’m glad they didn’t make the hull all glowing because that would be a little immersion breaking for me. I’m very pleased with how the ghost ship looks. Captains who can’t drive without sails raised should be happy too as the rips in the sails offers a window of visibility.

There's nothing funny about this. It's so disappointing what this game has turned into.
But it has not turned into that. It's always been like that. Guess you only see it when it affects you personally.

That will look awesome!
Yeah, I'm a little salty about this one, I can afford these things but come on, the game needs more mystical cosmetics and as an athena cosmetic I expected it to glow at LEAST, it barely changes the hull of the ship at all, so little you might not even notice it.
To be the most expensive hull in the game I expected more, the pirate legend hull is at least noticeable it doesn't look like anything else, this thing is basically just black, the decal doesn't even run down the ship it's just in the front?
