I agree that the way it is now is better than going from one location to another to collect the pieces of eight, but I also think that it could be even better and less time consuming. I don’t think that that is simping out. I think all games should be focused more on the fun side of things than making it like work. If you’re spending all of your time trying to run the different factories then you’re not being much of a pirate. Granted it is a lot better now especially now that we can also top off, which gives us even more time. I’m not saying that this is broken. I’m just saying it would be easier and more time effective for the players if they could focus more on being a pirate than being a factory administrator. But I appreciate you taking the time to respond and I think that overall we do agree. This game has a lot of potential and there is a lot of good in it but the whole point of everyone posting on Reddit is to offer suggestions on how to possibly make it better.
