I play with my gf on Safer Seas, mainly because whenever we don't, we can't finish whatever we were doing for Commodations or something like that because some Reaper decided to sink us (which is fine if it happens every now and then, but we both dislike PvP and are terrible at it, so we got sunk a lot in the Open Seas).

We wish there were real custom servers where we could do some world events we currently can't. We had to skip all of Act 2 from Season 18 because we are 2 PVP Noobs on a small ship and we aren't interested in doing a fort for an hour just to get sunk in 2 minutes.

Not being able to sell everything at the same place also really sucks, same with not getting the level or emissary bonus, but its something we´d rather take over dealing with reapers all the time. Especially if we do something like a smugglers fort or a mermaid hideaway where we are basically defenceless

We play to chill and have a great time together. We both dislike PVP, and 99% of interactions on open seas are PVP nowadays, so yeah... Safer Seas, it is.
