One thing that has been said over and over in many of the threads about helping each other, Too much help is actually a bad thing. It develops a high level pirate who is unevenly balanced in skills, and can't do anything for himself.
Gotta agree with that - I mentioned many times with the 'ship grapple glitch' that when that glitch was gone - no one would know how to sail and sure enough it happened...

Since I never used that glitch (by using the 'fish tail' method to sink high level ships - learning to aim close to lighting strike sails) - when it was fixed again... I never even missed it.

It also points back to other issues where if weak players always scream out for a healer in everything they do - they don't learn to survive on their own when needed (and they become needy). Where I can do Kingshead at L20 myself without a healer (not easy - but can be done) for Gernades - I would never have that learned the tricks I use (tag and step runs to get them stuck while I check barrels for example) if I just depended on everyone helping me all the time...

Overall - its a nifty idea... but the execution I think would be crippling in the end.
