POTCO's failures compared to other games

Maybe, I would just find it unfair for give-awayers, account sharers that get their wealth & items transfered off the account, people would be able to transfer things off their other pirates.

You can't say " looting is driving people away " because it's not. I would bet that about 1/4 of the people who play, play for loot. Also, there are even "looting body-types". Also, I know that the only quests i do are Black pearl and Ravens Cove. A lot of people don't like questing, so adding boring, long, new quests would be a waste to a lot of people.

But, they might not do it. Some people could pay a friend or someone real life money for virtual items (as I said same problem on runescape) so they removed/fixed trading on that game.

Disney said that in that video, the Admis just used codes get clothes, weapons, etc. They said they weren't even thinking about trading.

Although, the Admins could just be saying that so players assume that they don't want their feedback e-mail to be flooded with "Release Trading in Pirates Online!" topics.

They want us to send feedback about something else for the time being. And besides, they are also probably saying that because they are developing a very, very early stage of trading, so they don't want to get our hopes up so early right now.

We'd complain a lot more toward them if they announced that trading was coming soon and a year and several months later it still hasn't landed on the Test or Live servers. They did that mistake with the Kraken story chapter. Now, they don't even bring it up anymore in their blog posts.

So, they are thinking about it, believe me, this just their way of saying "We don't want to make any promises now, so it'll come much, much later on in the coming years." But they don't tell us that.

Don't fall for these tricks they do with their comments.
