Here is what else I picked up on chasing GMs about.
Notoriety Cap change: 2 said "We are looking into it" 1 said "NO"
Ship customizations are on the horizon.
A 2nd Story Quest is being worked on.. about the most I could get from any of them on that.
More boss battles are being worked on.
Boss Battles will be repeatable soon.
Kraken is far off, but still planned (impression I was given).
More fortune quests to come clothes, etc.
Upgraded weapons quests coming soon.
Implicated that guild functions are being reviewed/worked on.
They were very open to suggestions about Pets.
They were also receptive to ideas of a pirate house/home/island/captnsquarters.
There were rumors of future double rep date again soon.
I also learned that a few of them visit POF. Hello GMs out there!!!
I took a few moments to whisper an invitation to a few that I could get close enough to (it was crazy there!)
And Thatch, and Ben congratulated me on hitting Level 40 today hehe.
Keep posting your thoughts and ideas guys, they do get seen on occasion!
