Wheel Stealers. I thought they fixed that?

Yeah, he took the wheel and I couldn't get it back.

I agree that is a serious problem, and you think thats bad. was helping friends tonite with a boss battle for there son, and we had a great captain, but we were short a few people for cannons, so someone invited a "friend". All rules were laid out before going to the battle, including WHO the captain was. We get into battle, and the captain we decide on, gets to the wheel, and someone took the wheel from him, needless to say we died, and this poor kid does not get to win,and there was no reason for that. So after we all end up in jail, the person who grabbed the wheel, laughed and left.

Kate what you describe sounds almost identical to a boss battle I crewed in a couple weeks ago with the exception that we didn't get sunk. We had a crew member aboard who none of us knew very well who grabbed the wheel before our captain could get to it. We were only able to take out half the bridges because this guy raced the ship down the middle and out of the harbor. We sunk the Goliath but this creep grabbing the wheel cost the person who we were helping a lot of experience points. Most of us in crew were high levels representing several guilds all of us decided that this guy who took the wheel would never sail or crew with any of us again.

As to the people teleporting onto the ship and trying to take over its been quite a while since this has been a problem for me. I don't tolerate people teleporting to me without first asking permission. If someone on the friends list does this I give them one warning and if they do it again they are off my friend list.
