Understandable. But for anyone else reading this and is interested in moving to High Seas, I should make it clear what is considered “toxic” in this game:

Toxic (actual bannable behavior):

• Hacking.
• Using slurs, verbal abuse, etc. (the common standards you will see for voice/chat interaction in modern online games).

Not toxic:

• Attacking other crews for any reason, even if they don’t fight back or don’t have any loot on their ship.
• Trash talking that doesn’t go into the category of slurs and personal abuse. (That being said, you can mute other crews any time with a hotkey).

One of the things that frustrates new players is the misconception that there are rules or standards for getting attacked by other crews.

Fighting, lying, stealing, and sneaking are all part of intended gameplay. They are the essence of the game, and are what leads to the most exciting and memorable player interactions. I say this as an almost exclusive solo player who is always at a disadvantage in PvP situations.

That being said, you can always choose to be nice, and that can also lead to rewarding player interactions. But you should never assume that the other crews are playing by your rules.
