A loot system is not exactly a copyrighted idea. After all, in any game where your character can acquire things - would a loot system NOT be part of it?

And keep in mind this game WAS a marketing tool to begin with. I still feel it's major issues fall back on the fact it was likely NOT designed to be very complicated or modular for easy changes.

After three years, they never even finished the original concepts - so I would not be overly optimistic about huge future developments - lest they do a COMPLETE overhaul. They wrote themselves into a corner with the story's timeline.

I DO love this game, but I am fearful that Disney puts more time and money into their other online products annnnnd unlike the others, they don't own all the rights to it (Bruckheimer has a chunk). So, what motivation do they have?

Let's hope that PotC4 will put a fire under them to make major updates to get new players and lure back the old salts who left.
