Sea of Thieves Revamps Its Ban System to Provide Clearer Notifications on Sanctions

The latest Sea of Thieves update enhances its ban system, allowing players to understand their offenses more clearly.

Sea of Thieves has recently updated its ban system, aiming to improve communication with players regarding infractions. This change comes as a response to community feedback about the previous system, which was seen as too punitive without sufficient explanation.

In a post on the game’s Steam blog and a YouTube video, the developers detailed the new implementation which replaces the ’three-strikes and you’re out’ model with a point-based system. Players will start with zero points, and various infractions will accumulate points that can lead to suspensions based on the severity of the actions.

For instance:

  • Minor offenses will incur 1 to 3 points and a three-day suspension.
  • More serious actions can lead to a week-long suspension with up to 7 points.
  • Cheating will earn a player 12 points, resulting in an immediate permanent ban.

The update also allows players to see why they have been suspended, addressing a common concern from the community about the lack of clarity.

This reformed approach aims to help players learn from their mistakes and provides a chance to remove points through good behavior over time. For further details regarding account status and point management, players can visit the Sea of Thieves account page.
