[People leaving when they see your name in battle]

I think I like the third option the most, 1st option is also ok I guess. I can imagine it makes some people more of a target as well... 
(They should rework the timers, 4 min battle timer and 3 min exit timer is just too much)

[Idea on boosting overall trade and PVP]

'Yet they are nessecary to gain dubloons and reals. In other words the game is - to some extend - forcing players to spend their time on boring trade runs.'

I gain all my millions by sinking players and selling the doubloons. 1 or more DLC ships do help with that.

Edit: Apart from that statement its a fine idea imo

REDS... despicable behaviour

Situation in the Netherlands is getting more serious now, government told everyone that has minor symptoms of a cold to stay at home (work from home) if possible. Less traffic jams, supermarkets with empty shelves etc etc

No. They're set like this in order to avoid 30 screeners that a little nation, such as Danmark-Norge, can't handle. 

Yep, a valid reason i think. Dont get why people get so upset about multi flips and no shows 😂 it’s part of the game just like ganks/being backstabbed and all the other 💩 

[Fresh RVR History (from 06-2019)]

Cowards tactic is still a valid tactic to me xD, forces you guys to divide or make a decision and focus on one port

[Fresh RVR History (from 06-2019)]

if you show up to all its not, but if you pick one to focus on thats a smokescreen. 

[Fresh RVR History (from 06-2019)]

I mean, i understand you flip multiple ports to put up a smoke screen. That's a valid tactic right lol

[Fresh RVR History (from 06-2019)]

Do people actually flip PBs and no show on purpose? 

[pve vs pvp: is the choice locked]

What helped me improve was watching youtube vids of players pvp'ing (especially on tacking).

[Fresh RVR History (from 06-2019)]

Everytime I read these messages i'm baffled of the amount of time people invest into this game xD

I stand by my previous recommendation of starting out on the pve server to learn the basics of sailing and gunnery. Attempting to learn that while on the pvp server would be a big mistake given the current situation of the server in general.

Personally i think the most efficient way of becoming good at the game (not saying im good) is by doing PvP. But i think we are drifting from the main point of the question of this person in general. 
It is an option to create an account on both servers and test both servers out @gogopher

[pve vs pvp: is the choice locked]

Some general tips when starting in the PvP server; join a clan, try to get some funds, dont spend too much on ships at the start of your PvP career (because you will get sunk many many many times), try opening outposts at freetowns if you want 'quick' action, but most importantly is try to enjoy it . 
And in regards to toxicity, I dont experience the toxicity as explained above^. Some people do have a toxic mindset, and ganking (massive outnumbering/overpowering) someone happens but that's part of the game.
