honestly i would say set a date and time bring everyone to prov set up 200tp's 30 braziers and keep adjusting until the majority of players are ok with crits then wipe the server making it so people cant build in caves increase spacing of fruit trees and everything else that jc doesnt like. that would breath new life into the game its supposed to be a hardcore pvp sandbox game.
Hey, I'll support your suggestion to test the damage of braziers and TP in a controlled environment, even though that could already easily be done inside of each expedition server past and present.
But, your suggestion of a wipe is fallacious if you consider the countless amount of store purchases that have already been made by players. (a lot if not all of those purchased items would simply disappear in a wipe) so yeah, that part would not breath new life into the game as you suggested, but would cause an exodus from it, and would also probably bring more than one legal recourse too.
As for what you claim this game is "supposed" to be, it isn't helping your case here at all, it is divisive and excluding the vast majority of player's play-styles in the game.
Even though folks can justifiably say that it is a hardcore PvP sandbox game, at the same time other folk's could justifiably say that it is a hardcore crafting sandbox game with PvP.
Meaning, It is definitely a hardcore game, but only hardcore in that it has full loot permadeath.
...It has PvP and raiding, but it also has ongoing base-building competition, PvE crafting tiers, PvE farming tiers, hunting and fishing, player shop-stalls, and many, many incentives to explore the map and even build at more than one location on it's extremely large map too.
It also has a rather creepy but unique and intriguing player-witchcraft feature(s) too, so...
What it is, is an all inclusive "hardcore" game period. And why many folks get so passionate about it IMO.
Personally I enjoy having PvP and raiding options available to me and I'll have no problem paying the price for raiding someone's base when I decide to either.
But, I prefer to get my satisfaction in that area by using the many various cloak and dagger options available to me in this game to do those sort of deeds.
