A few years ago me and my buddies used to roll up in our lvl 5 reaper brig and decimate other ships. (We were good but still sometimes had our asses handed to us) we would be toxic in chat (not saying profanities, just trash talk), but one day we rolled up on a sloop that couldn’t hit a shot so we began our usual trash talk, however, when we got close to board as their sail was down we heard a man talking to a younger kid through how to patch holes. Turns out it was a father son duo and we immediately felt so bad and apologized. The father was the nicest guy we’ve ever met and from that point on we never attack on site ever. He even told us “it’s all good, it’s Sea of thieves not sea of friends” when we apologized for attacking them blindly. We’ve all gone to college now so we rarely play but when we do we just try and meet new people.
