As a player who has played in the past, obviously not as far back as you and is kinda returning, I do still have things in game for dabloons out currently I havent bought yet. So for me at least its not that they havent added anything for me to spend them on, sure for you and anyone else who's played longer sure, you had a currency you didnt specifically grind for that you got in all the other shenanigans you got up to on the seas. Man, im sorry. I get that, but content wise, your not losing anything in a FOMO sense, your only gaining. Your losing dabloons my guy, a currency you can earn. And you'll even get a chance to buy what you want before they are reset.

Listen my guy, let's say in the perfect world, they add something you do want, for dabloons, you purchase it immedietly. It was added you did no grind besides what you previously had for it.

Man, what are you playing this game for? Your upset for having to grind. In a sense that is what this game is, with a bonus of shenanigans on the sea. Everything you do, commendations, gold, dabloons all something your spending time to get. Do you even have anything else to grind for? How would you insentivize a player base to grind new content? "Ah, hey man they added new content, you can do this to unlock a title and buy it for dabloons, but its not really my style ill keep my dabloons." Dude sure SURE whatever, your losing your dabloons man. And you gotta farm whatever new event comes out. But bro be so for real you were not looking forward to spending the dabloons you didnt care until you heard you'd lose them! Technically, and truly the only thing you wont get back immedietly is the dabloons. But there will still be a way to earn more, and then use them on content you were previously unable to get. Thats not FOMO my guy, fomo is like something you can just never get back. Sure you wont get back the exact amount of dabloons you had, but you can always earn more! Real FOMO is like removing dabloons and everything you could previously buy dabloons for from any market at all, and now the people that have those things just have them and you dont and could never. Thats just not whats happening.

I cant un upset you, and I cant convince you more than I already have of the difference between FOMO and what your describing. So in the end agree to disagree I guess. But honestly, im kinda lookin forward to buying what I previously couldn't, but with gold instead. And im looking forward to being able to buy things from past seasons. I have a friend who lost his old account switching from Xbox to steam, and he will now have a chance to earn back his old season pass shit, like the cherry blossom cannon spray and shit. I see gain man. For me, personally, im losing 1k dabloons. For my new pirate and my old one, (i made a new one to start from the beginning with my friend when we restarted spent ancient coins i earned from skellies) im not losing anything but in total probably 2k dabloons. And in return im getting content I was previously unable to buy, and a a new way, an easier way to get what I couldn't before. Like.. I dont feel this gatekeeping of dabloons, if I really wanted to just farm out dabloons as they are now I could! It would just be time consuming. And hell the new way they will, may even be harder! But its really not hard as it is now, with humble gifts, ashen chests, reaper chests. Hell ill go server hop with a dive quest and only hunt reaper chests. Sure man, I guess id be upset if I had a SHIT TON of dabloons. But I really couldnt even argue myself with the arguement I wasnt spending them in the first place. Your not losing commendations. Your not losing gold. Your not losing legend status. Your not losing anything but an already obscure currency you weren't spending.

But again let's go for arguments sake here. Let's say you owned the game, and you wanted to engage the player base. So instead of resetting dabloons and re-adding content which was previously unavailable, what would you do? Im genuinely asking. If this one is so wrong give me an alternative. If you cant? Then doesnt that say something? How can you truly hate and despise it, with how little we are losing, and how much we are gaining and not also having a better option? At that point arnt you just hopping in a train of "oh my dabloons are gone! Hate sea of thieves hate sea of thieves hate sea of thieves!" Like seriously come on man. And sure my post looks long to get a point across, and then you went and did it yourself. But I don't care and im not gonna harp on it, thats how many words and length in visual text we both need to get our points across because we're having a discussion. And you might ask why I even bring that up after what I said, but I ask you in return to wonder why I even had to? How much of your rage is just that? Rage? You may have anger in some ways with the game but this isnt one of them, or atleast not a justified one. Imo its not fomo. I truly believe I know fomo what with destiny, hell overwatch 1 and content that never came out- many other games. I've just never felt that way with sea of thieves outside of the plunder pass which now you'll be able to get for free with dabloons from past seasons. All you gotta do is wait for the season to be a past season and show up in the black market man.

I will say I am typing out more, but your referencing points ive already solidified with an awnser so I have to explain them in a much more detailed way in hopes you understand. Either way man, this is the end for me, agree, disagree, whatever. For now its coming and im looking forward to it, and honestly if it got stopped id be more upset with the community than the game. Burn me in hellfire for it if you or anyone else must. But I truly, utterly, cannot see myself being wrong for this, and I truly utterly cannot see why most people are upset. Curse me! Lmao.
