The question is a bit vague; if you do merchant voyages aren't you playing as a merchant, or if you do treasure voyages you're a treasure hunter?

The question is badly worded again. It seems to me that in the game you play as a pirate, but my instinct is that the answer they want is "All of the above". 2 reasons: Firstly, because this is nearly always the right answer when it's an option. Secondly, because Googling shows that treasure hunting and trading are part of the game. So I think it's too much of a co-incidence that they would've come up with these options as wrong answers. I think they would've chosen roles that don't apply at all.

I don't really want to ask them on FB two days in a row. But perhaps someone else could? https://www.facebook.com/topcashback

I totally agree Blu. The factually correct answer must be Pirate as there doesn't seem to be any other option at the start of the game but you feel that the answer they want is All of the above for the reasons you state.
It certainly looks like the people setting the questions don't have a full understanding of the game and are making incorrect assumptions from quick reads about it. Or maybe not.

Damn, now I don't know whether to wait, like I did yesterday and it still not being clear, or enter now in case they do this again:

I'd mentioned the blip on their FB page. They've replied: "Hey Louise, we have corrected the question. All entries added before the change will be entered regardless of if they were tecnically right or wrong due to the error. Best wishes, Matt"

I'll be wrong whatever I do, no doubt!

I have also asked but not had a reply

It's almost like they don't want anyone to get all the answers correct, then no one can win!!!! :eek:;)

It's soooooo stoopid. They've now changed the wording of the question to "In Sea of Thieves you can role-play as!!!8230;"

But that doesn't make it any clearer.

I agree, and they have read my message but not replied.

So I have gone for all of the above.

I think that confirms your All Of The Above theory. In other words one always plays as a pirate as has been said, but one gets to role play as merchant or treasure hunter on side missions. Still a bit cryptic of course.

(btw, explanation of my use of one: I suspect the Queen has expressed an interest in the game.)
