At the "Edge" of My Wits

[Dark_Pixie]

It did get pretty bad on the ship. There was someone directly griefing Del in caps, and others complaining about the repairs that they had to do because Ben wasn't using the edge of the world 'tactic'.

Shark raised a good point about the bug. The people griefing us because we weren't using the bug actually felt that they had to use it because there was nothing else they could do. They were dependent on it. Then they took it out on Del and Ben, mainly, when they were told that we weren't going to use the bug. They were trying to convince us that the bug wasn't cheating, when it obviously was. Using a glitch in the game to become invincible.

As you probably gathered, I don't support the use of the bug. Hunters are challenging, yes, but they're supposed to be difficult. They're supposed to be hard even for fully mastered pirates. Using the edge of the world bug is completely missing the point, in my opinion. Perhaps there should be more ways of getting ship materials, but exploiting a problem in the game is wrong in my view. A good captain and crew can get loads of ship materials by pure skill.

I think what we all should have done was hit the ignore button and enjoy our peace. But I think the situation was handled well, and I applaud Ben for staying calm through all of it, despite being insulted by one of the crew members. I think Del sorted that one out pretty well though. :P

In short, I agree with what Del has said. I'm going to report the bug, and cross my fingers. I sometimes use bugs for a laugh, like the Phantom Spirits bug on the Black Pearl island, and the secret room in one of the Padres caves, but I would never use a bug to unfairly gain materials, gold or whatever it is I'm searching for. That's just missing the point of the game.
