At some point every pirate will lose out what they had worked fought for due to some technical failure. I nearly lost one Famed treasure I plundered at sea as soon as we docked at Tortuga. Never experienced this kind of bug where the audio started to stutter. I didn't even know there was a problem until after I selected a Rare to place in my Inventory. As I kept clicking what I saw was worth taking, lo and behold, that Famed treasure popped up!
I had no Inventory space left and so I decided to trash the Rare and replace it with that Fame. That is when my troubles began. I usually can find a workaround to correct the technicality but it sure looked like I was about to be disconnected. Sure I had everything else but I wanted that Fame and I waited patiently for it to settle down. Long story short, clicking the Window key stopped the loop and briefly corrected the problem. I say briefly because it acted up again and I had to repeat this action to keep myself from disconnecting.
It was a battle to stay on long enough so I can get that Fame and that I did. No matter what I did in-game that night, this bug would happen. Once I got the Fame, notified my friends I needed to log out momentarily, I logged out and boy did it take a while, lol, but I prevailed! You bet I will keep it as a momento.
In your particular case, Mark, not sure if you're sailing in a Full or an Ideal server, or even if you normally experience problems while plundering, the best crew to sail with are with friends/ guildmates in a Quiet Ocean. You'll also need a Captain who is patient with and discerning to understand why some pirates are slow to respond while plundering. If you're Unlimited, then you earned reps on that voyage. Still stinks when ya lose the loot, but the reps and the score for sinking them do remain.
