I don't really understand what your point with your post is but I can tell it has nothing to do with this topic of this thread.

Conquest Marks, answer to everything. Devs have access to trading logs, therefore french also get something from the pie.

AGAIN the case they didn't had no cannons is STILL NOT the issue.

Nope you can still farm each other for conquest marks which is STILL the main issue nice try talking around it again.

You can judge if two sides agreed on a certain out come beforehand: therefore punishable because of the abusement of the game meachnics. Should both sides not have agreed on that specific outcome and one side simply just game with ships with no cannons to suicide there is no fault on the attackers. But this DID NOT happen here. Both sides agreed on an outcome to gain advantage over others. Just imagine 2 boxers would fight and both would agree one gets knocked out in the third round and the proof is there that BOTH sides agreed on it BOTH sides are punishable. However if just one of the two decides to get knocked out and the 2nd didn't anything of it nor did he agreed upon on anythign like that, boxer one would be the only one to blame. ffs is it really that hard to understand?

"Specific behavior" is in this case abusement of game mechanics.

AGAIN: ---->Gaining the conquest marks the way you guys gained is not the intended design of port battles<---- cannons or no cannons is NOT the issue

Ok why did you quote my posts back then when you didn't even read them? I have to qoute myself which is already sad to explain you something that everybody else seems to understand. "What issue?"

I can't judge what the devs did or didn't. But how about you stay on the topic of the issue of the PB of Cap Francois?

Yes why wouldn't it.

Keeping that exploit to yourself is demotion worthy aswell as far as I see it. You don't even need to say any names, just how reproduce the exploit. The devs will then try to fix it asap depending on how game breaking it is. I would suggest you to report this exploit for disclosure to be on the safe side.

I don't know what that means. But exploiting game mechanics on porpose is demotion worthy. If you found an exploit to farm pve marks just open up a new thread. It doesn't really belong here where the topic is the issue of you guys gained conquest marks in a way that is not intended.

I wasn't there and I'm sure it wasn't appealing. But you referring to old issues all the time isn't going to save you. You could save the game though, the game you played thousands of hours if you would just simply refrain from abusement of game mechanics and just simply report it to the devs and maybe even suggest a constructive way how to fix it.

Stay on topic. I came back to this game from a 9 month brake. And you guys still doing these things doesn't really make me wanna keep playing it. And I'm sure if new people to this game would know about this and nothing would be done about these shady ways some people play this game, they would simply leave it immediatly.

Why do you even ask what outcome? again: ---->Gaining the conquest marks the way you guys gained is not the intended design of port battles<----. It's not a place where 2 sides agree on a certain outcome beforehand.

You still don't understand that they having no cannons is not the issue here, or you do understand and just try to talk around it. I think the latter is the case. Gaining the conquest marks the way you guys gained is not the intended design of port battles. It's not a place where 2 sides agree on a certain outcome beforehand.

cannons or not still doesn't matter.

Nope because we didn't arrange anything with you, nor would we ever. Cannons or not.

No you do not get any conquest points for getting sunk.

It doesn't even really matter if they had cannons onboard or not. They could have cannons and just simply not shoot the where's is the difference? Because they entered the pb you farmed them for conquest marks in an arranged fight that is not designed that way, therefore gaining an unfair advantage over everybody else. If you really think cmarks this way is the intended design of this game I really don't know how to help you.

Ok how in the world does that make even sense? Your telling me you didn't arrange this pb with the french? They came to defend but didn't put cannons on because they had no chance? Why even come? You're just not man enough to say the what is what even though everybody around you knows what's going on.

Nope, because I didn't arrange that you won't shoot back. And I wouldn't even talk with you about that. Come to pb without guns and 100% we won't get demoted. Just do it mate. just do it you will see. We actually try to win a fair fight, not like you pro players that need to alliance themself with Spain AND France.

You got the power to demote us all? Please do so. Pretty please I wanna get demoted so bad.

Ok creds for the apology. But why exactly did you guys even show up to the PB? Because of the share of conquest marks you get from the pirates or because of your so called "participate in various pvp action of the game community". I really can't see any participation at all inside the PB nor did I see any attempt to decrease the hostility before the PB. I think you need to clarify what kind of participation you have in mind when it comes to pvp.

19 people are getting into a port BATTLE without cannons so they can not fight back? Are you even trying?
