Sailing is my favorite part of the game and I think they've done a great job of giving the illusion of sailing and sea combat. So I'm kind of cautious about making changes to it.

In any game there is a trade off between playability and realism. An example in this game might be pistols. The way they are loaded is unrealistic. To be realistic all the firearms would be loaded the way blunderbuss's are loaded. To do that with every gun would undermine the playability of the game.

Also, as Eliza points out, many of these ideas require some very complex computer code which can lead to greater lag and more bugs or glitches.

Not saying I'm against the ideas mentioned, most of them sound like fun, I just hope Disney doesn't undermined the current sailing experience in the effort to improve it.

As far as Eliza's concern that these things could be to daunting for many players, things like storms and such could be limited to special areas of the ocean.
