Changes in the caves!!!

I know from working Kat just how much hard work it takes to hit those high level marks. And Kat is only a 32! I can't imagine what the other 7 levels are like. I do know it takes a lotta pirate blood, sweat, and patience to make it to Pirate Master. So tell me what is gonna happen to that rank.

When they raise the cap, cause it seems it will happen eventually, are we gonna loose the Master rating? How fair is that? For me it's, so far, just one skill on one pirate out of 8. But I earned that Master tag. I'm gonna be very unhappy if it gets taken away when the caps go up.

My suggestion would be that they add colors to the Master ranks. Cause sure as a summer day is long, eventually we'll need a second cap increase. So then you get the first Master rank at 40 and 25. The second Master rank at whatever the increase is, and so on. Each rank has a color, the standard it is now, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and so on as the caps increase. Rather like a so many star general or whatever in the military.

Dunno if it makes sense, and it's kinda complicated. I just think that it would really bite if a hard earned Mastery gets revoked simply cause the cap goes up.

Just another example of what I was trying to say, pirates are never satisfied.

However, I would gather that if weapons maxes were raised, we would lose the title of "Mastered" for that weapon as if it has further levels, its not mastered. (this is all hypothesis, noone knows until it hits test). Are we losing something in that? Id say not at all. You will still have a level 25 weapon however with all the same powers it had previously, all the priveledges it granted you before (the advanced weapons you quested for, etc)

Actually if we take that direction... an even BETTER question would be... What about all those weapon, clothing, tattoo, and jewelry quests that us level 40 mastered pirates did for 0 rep that we can not repeat now. Will we get the notoriety credited to us that we earned past the level 40? If not this is a TRUE loss, and could make it difficult or impossible for a pirate already maxed, to reach new max levels.

However, these questions are impossible to answer...

We cant even answer when we'll get the update...
What it entails is what dreams (perhaps nightmares for some) are made of.

Added: As far as pirate rankings. I doubt that will change. Level 40s are pirate masters now, next they could make it pirate lords, pirate kings, etc.
