Please read what I wrote. Both pirates were running on the same computer. Both pirates (inherently) used the same game options (linked account.) Not similar, but EXACTLY the same. Both were on the same server. Both started side-by-side. Both went the exact same route. Both launched the exact same type of boat (even named the same.)

Windcatcher has been broken exactly as long as we've had SvS - the only reasonable place for it to matter. With retraining in place, there is no reason for it to remain broken.
