Apologies if this is a repeat topic. I did a search and got 900+ threads for 'Pirate Code Trolling Report'.
This has nothing to do with crew-to-crew relations. Specific example: On a galleon in open crew, we had just finished a Skeleton Ship battle and had the 4 skulls and 4 stronghold chests aboard and sailing to the outpost. Our fourth member dropped off and got replaced with a player who wore ghost clothing. This player immediately climbed to the crows nest. Found nothing there and came back down. Did not say anything in chat or voice. And then proceeded to dump every loot item on board overboard. I was adjusting sails when it started. When my crewmate discovered what was happening, we immediately tried to drop anchor. The toxic new member grabbed it before it hit bottom. We had to coordinate sending him to the brig at this point to stop his actions. But now the damage was done. By the time we turned the ship 180 and sailed back slowly in the dark, we were only able to get back one skull. The trolling player had left immediately after getting brigged. I would assume that since his immediate actions were to troll us within the first minute of playing, he went to find another crew to do the same.
I went back to research the pirate code and found the entry that states if you troll your own crew, you will get sent to the brig.
But there is also mention of reporting behavior that breaks the pirate code. So, the question is, is it worth capturing video and nametag of players this toxic? Will Rare do anything about these types of players? Or is brigging the only solution?
Just want to know for future occurrences. I am already used to 'living' with certain behaviors on the seas. Just want to know if I need to add this one to the list of "it is what it is".
