I'm glad the Boss Battle glitch is gone but its too late fer me
I 'won' the BB when the person at the helm did the exploit - I didn't realize what was happening and before I knew it we were facing Goliath and it was sunk in seconds. I was hugely disappointed in winning this way.
The other glitches are just so-so; the flagship glitch is boring. Kingshead glitch is boring. If you want to play that way fine - you'll just leave the game all that much sooner since you don't have a challenge.
Now I can find a boss battle crew and win it properly and not have to worry about a dumb exploit.
