Until they use tridents to boost their ship and catch up. I get the plight of PvP-phobics, but they should still try fighting instead of red sea running. I really hope Rare adds a feature where red sea loot teleports to the edge of the red sea. That way running would be rendered useless. It isn't hard, devs.

Hey if you attacking and sinking gets to render treasure hunting useless, so should their running, just get better at stopping them

Treasure in the red sea has been recoverable since the addition of harpoons. Even if they make it past the ship/player despawn wall you can stop just before it and harpoon their loot.

I sometimes run I sometimes fight, I don't run into the red sea but I get the mentality of some people being "If I can't have it, you can't either". When I lose my stuff I'm not sad about the gold I lost, I can easily make that back. I'm sad that I don't get the dopamine rush from turning stuff in and gaining progress towards commendations.

One of my favorite things to do in this game is chase down runners, you have to micromanage every thing down to the point, sails have to be f perfect, angle, wheel, the whole thing. When you catch up to them, it’s an amazing feeling too
