Well, it sounds like both a computer and game problem... Some weeks ago Disney put out a patch. It totally wrecked my game and I had the same experience as the OP-- couldn't sail, frequent disconnects, etc... Then right after, Disney put out another patch (to fix the "can't rename" bug) and my game was restored. Thing is, though, judging from the servers, this problem I had wasn't widespread so I'm wondering if there was something that didn't "agree" with my computer.
About the whole "inconsistency levels" thing, I have never had the problem of being killed by mobs, because I'm such a BRILLIANT swordsman and shooter! I can take 5, 10 enemies around me like THAT, some even twice my level!
Er, okay, not exactly...
The key to dealing with inconsistency levels is to always go to a zone where there's at least 1 other player there. If there are other players in a zone, they help thin out the herd and prevent you from getting mobbed. You don't even have to "crew up/ team up" with these people-- just having them there "doing their own thing" will help.
