Are PIrate masters gettin the shaft?

[Angel]

OK, the game tells us after the boss battle to "finish mastering your pirate". So those that havent, do. That leaves us at lvl 40, no more notoriety to obtain, weapons still havent been fully mastered, so we slave away, watchin those numbers fly, without watchin our notoriety grow further. Now with the new weapon and "accessories" quests, both giving on avg of 100 notoriety each task, yet still "Mastered" at 40.

My question is, when the game expands, are we capped at 40? Will it open up and those of us that 'Fully Mastered" our pirates have less reps then those that havent? Once they do they should be at 41 or 42 right? Once again we get punished for doing what were told.....

Not to mention the extra health "bug" or whatnot....We gonna be punished on that one too? I mean my lvl 36 pirate is higher than my lvl 40! Thinkin out loud here but I would still like to know and I know I'm not the only one....
