The reason I am writing this is because I have noticed the devs removed the suggestions channel and the feedback channels from their Discord, as well as most channels that allow people to voice their criticism of the game.

The devs are incompetent, greedy, lazy, stuck up jackasses who refuse to listen to the community feedback on anything.
They've banned people from the Discord and even from the game in the past for saying simple criticism, and again, really get this, THEY'VE REMOVED THE SUGGESTIONS AND THE FEEDBACK CHANNEL FROM THEIR DISCORD ENTIRELY because they don't give a ♥♥♥♥ about you or your genuine opinions!

They've made the game pay to win, and enforce it heavily on new players by giving them 0 starting dock space, only 1 outpost, barely any building slots, etc.
as well as locking players who just started out of the PvE server unless they buy the overpriced galleon DLC, which also just happens to be the best light water trade ship now because they nerfed the previous trade ship by making it deep water only to make this one more appealing.

They've refused to listen to complaints about the new ammunition system, the new raider system, the new wind and speed systems, etc. etc. and have made it very clear they do not give a ♥♥♥♥ about the community, only their money.
Let this game die, let those greedy ♥♥♥♥ devs piss off into obscurity, and wishlist one of the many upcoming naval games that actually have promise and caring dev teams behind them.

This game had promise, but the developers do not care about it. And for people who don't realize it yet, these are the same developers who have been ruining it for years now. There is no new development team, no.
The current developers were employed under a different team until they recently made enough money and bought the rights to Naval Action and now they development have full control over NA, and they've made it clear they will use that control to do what they want with the game, regardless of community feedback.

While a developer does have the right to do whatever they want with a game they own, the clear lack of acknowledgment and care towards their community shows that they will not change and do not care regardless.
