A word about "rep-stealing"...

[Edward Edgemenace]

How do you level cannon?

Option 1: Do it yourself. Extremely slow, extremely isolating, extremely boring. Up to 50 rep per minute.

Option 2: Overtly burden your friends/guild. If you have no conscience, this isn't a problem. Depending on their abilities, usually about 100 rep per minute.

Option 3: Alternate with a single other pirate, 1 cargo full run sailing, 1 cargo full run cannoning. Up to 70 rep per minute (minus frequent landing delays.)

Option 4: Public sailing. Get on a ship with 3 or 4 others all using round shot. Works for up to 5 minutes, at which time a level 40+ jumps on and alternates between rank 5 fury and rank 5 thunderbolt. 163 rep X 2 ships per minute becomes (maybe as much as) 15 rep per minute as the captain scrambles to find targets. AND DISNEY STILL WON'T LET CAPTAINS KICK THESE MALICIOUS MISCREANTS OFF THE SHIP. Remember - you yourself have seen this a hundred times - no matter how politely you explain it - no matter how many times you ask - no matter who (or how many) ask - they will 100% of the time continue rep stealing. Even if you explain to them that THEY could be getting about 300 rep per minute if they'd just try, they never ever do.

Option 5: ???
