Bloodsail Questline being Abandoned has massive long-term consequences.

Beep beep, you can't (Or more accurately, really shouldn't.) lock extremely important things away from the player, with no gain for said player, because they chose what seemed like an interesting faction in a faction dispute.

Bloodsail v Booty is intersting and all. And then you go and lock the entire (allegedly now scrapped) Scarlet Crusade raid's attunement behind Booty Bay rep. While you leave Bloodsail with absolutely nothing to show for it to compensate. That sort of game design is lazy at best, and everything between sloppy to malicious at worst.

The NPC Kixxle is Booty Bay aligned, meaning you literally "can't" progress Caravan Meets Caravan while hostile to booty bay. This is actually fine if Bloodsail is its own fully expanded faction, because you're doing a tradeoff in that case. As it stands, there's not even enough quests to hit Revered, it locks you out of the standard faction neutral meeting grounds for player on player interaction between H & A, it's Alliance's only access to southern stranglethorn without running from darkshire etc. And all that is fine - if Bloodsail actually HAD CONTENT. It just doesn't. There's forum posts 1-2 years old saying soon or that it's being worked on (or implied) but here we are with no hint of 1.17.2 fixing this faction that is the equivelant of kneecapping yourself.

Bloodsail needs: Its own sail location (Let me talk to the troll and select 'Ratchet' and TP me to the ocean just outside of ratchet where other ships already are near.)
A flightpath
A mailbox
Alternative options for Booty Bay locked "important" quests.

A player should not have to choose between getting to play how they want, and being allowed to play at all.

Sadly whenever it's brought up it more or less just gets buried and the devs seem to never want to talk about it.

I think what's more ridiculous is the fact the exalted rewards are locked behind killing an NPC Vendor in Badlands thousands of times, which you then get warned / banned by the GM's for.

F**King dumb design.
