The contents of this hold ? This is an orc ship, filled to capacity. This is my haul for approximately an hour and a half of work. I'm tired of stockpiling this crap, so my plan is to do my work for an hour or so and then either park my ship somewhere and play finders keepers, or just let you know where I am, and someone can come out and scuttle me (or sink trying) and take the stuff. If this is not worth anyones time then I won't bother doing it. Just trying to drum up some interest in the waters. The only people I find are scripting fisher people, which gets old after a while.Now let me see if I can mess up this poll attempt..

GarthGrey I did not vote, my time is not worth that in gold, but I do like you in that weird sort of way, I am way far from being broke, but as a Baby Doll I am up for anything. So without a vote I would take the challenge and sail the high seas in search of you for a day or so!

I voted the loot is not worth my time. I would absolutely come for the fight though.

Yeah I should have removed that gold pile from the hold, thats just what little the dread pirates had on them at the time I took that screen shot, and it's not all there. In 90 minutes I could probably have 100k if I killed all of the gargoyles and humans, but I don't bother.

High Seas is too expensive... unless of course you have the house add-ons that spit out resources daily (which I do not).
One could mine for hours, just to save enough metal to make enough ammo to scuttle a single ship.
High Seas was meant to be a gold sink, to get players to spend the billions in gold they had accumulated over 16 years. Otherwise, you had to mine saltpeter, wood, ore, wool, and various other materials just to participate.

It was a good idea, but too expensive for entry level players. A new player could make coin selling these resources to pirates, but then they wouldn't have any left for themselves to use.

I have enough ammo to scuttle ye though, so I shall be in search of thee on the waters. I am also recruiting shipmates to man (or women) the decks! Any land lubbers care to make history? I don't wear "First Class Pirate" boots for nothing.

I"ll even go one better..I'll be out collecting dread pirates for orc ship parts, I'll be scuttling both the dread pirate ships and the merchant ships, but only taking fuse cords..I"ll leave all of the rest on the scuttled ships. All you have to do is sail out here and pick up the free loot...oh...and check your spyglass from the crows nest often..because Here there be Pirates !!

The tribe appears to have spoken, but I'm gonna do it anyway. I'll be scuttling merchants and dreads, and leaving behind the heavy crap I'm tired of grabbing. I'm in all waters everywhere, so keep your eyes open. Come on in, the water's fine....no really.....**Garth Grey begins cleaning the cannon....**

I find that the Tokono waters are much, much smaller, and therefore less of a hassle for capturing pirates. I mean, you can sail one or two screens over, capture a pirate, and return for reward. Rinse and repeat. Much better than sailing 20 minutes each direction for an encounter.
