    There needs to be a boost to VIP especially for maxed out Captain level players. One extra quest on Rivalry is not worth. There needs to be an incentive to maintain VIP status added to event ie extra ticket or 10 second ticket refresh. Many maxed players are leaving VIP due to the lack of value after maxing out levels and items. That is lost income for Devs and hurts the game overall. Any other suggestions to make VIP more appealing to maxed players? I'm all ears!

    Seriously?! That's too much of a buff.

    I think VIP is already good the way it is. Although it's something that I'll never get for myself, the added 50% battle rewards, faster crew training, and especially the ability to select 3 guild quests at one go are definately nothing to be looked down on. (In my opinion the free daily shop refresh and VIP chat are kind of useless... but what do I know :p) However, if the devs are going to buff it then giving VIP users an extra ticket slot would be good.

    Yes it is good until you get maxed out, which is what this is about. The incentive to stay vip is dramatically decreased after Captain's are maxed. Why stay vip after that? No much reason thus the loss of $10 / month for the game and its devs. No change is fine but I soon will add my name to the rapidly growing list of formwr VIP members unless some further benefit is added.

    In my opinion, the idea of suggesting some sort of VIP mark 2 for maxed out captains is a good one.

    In a game where the player base is maturing, it is important that the devs continue to explore different income generating ideas to ensure that investment is available to continue to improve the game.

    I think (as an f2p) that event is good because it's fair. Everyone has the same chance.

    I do know about that. But if game enforces players to pay, most of them will just leave. By enforcing I mean that f2p players can't stand a chance. If they want to advance, they must either pay or leave.

    There are many F2P players in-game and on the forum who would disagree with your comments. P2W can definitely advance.

    F2P is the slower path, but sometimes (by taking the quicker route) P2W can miss out on some important skills.

    Ultimately, if players stick with it long enough, they’ll all end up at the same destination.

    The extra guild quest is only useful if you have 3 quests that you can work on, which is often not the case. Not to mention the futility of trying to win guild rivalries under the current system anyway. I have VIP, and I’ve spent about 1500 pearls on boosts this week... my guild is currently 4th... complete waste of time and money.

    Faster crew training is alright, but you still need to grind out a lot of games to raise sugar for it, and it still takes days to complete. If it finishes while you’re offline, or don’t have sugar, then most of the advantage is lost.

    That is a false assumption.Been playing in since 1 year exactly.The power grind currently has increased 10 fold.The cheap offers has made Even mideocre P2W so powerful

    I thought that upgrading mk6 would help,but the infamy gain was like 100 infamy.Many of F2P players like Evil chicken and stelmo still using some rares even tho they were here from beta.While you get Fully maxed out boats Epic T5 at 3.5K infamy(Miika's 2 different charts clearly dictates drastic change in gear score relative to infamy over time)

    They don't end up at same destination if they play long enough,i assure you that.

    P.S.--> i m not complaining,just stating the fact that the game still gives an edge to P2W over F2P.
