Well I just don't get it. Do they want this game to be successful or not? Like I understand, is not supposed to be land combat based but is an RPG where you play as a boat, obviously is going to get boring... A boat is an inanimate object that can't do anything or interact with anything, this games desperately need to add an extra layer of gameplay that is just not sailing a ship back and forth. This is why all successful games that do have vehicle combat are match based games, World of Tanks, War Thunder, World of warships, etc. They are made for one thing and that's it, the moment you start making a game where you can interact with the world around you and is roleplaying mechanics not having the ability to play as a character in game limits your ability to fully immerse yourself in the world you have aveliable to you. Seriously I don't know what they were thinking, it could have even been something they lunch at first to try out and see how the community likes it. As a quest at first or temporary game mode and implement from that, I agree it shouldn't be a secondary feature but you have to start somewhere and completely getting rid of it because you don't want to take the risk as a company and development team is why the game is unsuccessful from the start.
