If you can get 400-500 biles with this system (and it looks like you can) and it takes more than month to get just to 100, the game is too grindy for anyone to do PvP for real. And since PvP is the only endgame we have, this means the game has no staying power. IMO they should just make it so you can do PvP for real at 100 humors, and that you can't get more than like 150 (the grind from 100 to 150 should take RL years).
There's nothing in game to do while slowly grinding your biles from 100 to the 200- if not 400 needed to raid or PVP. If you don't want to raid you've built everything there is to build by 100 biles.
The purity grind is slow during this time, but that's about all.
I hope Jorb and Loftar release all the mid-game content they've been teasing us with for years (or have been suggested on the forums). Horses, domesticated animals, better buildings, witchcraft, seige engines, seafaring, etc....
It's no accident population dropped in half. Like Darwoth said, there's nothing else to do at this point.
Many of the "part time griefers" have quit because you can't raid, and there is absolutely nothing else to do.
The solution is not to just nuke defenses, but new seige mechanisms or new clothing artifacts that are expensive but provide brazier defense, or faster wall destruction.
Tl/DR: Add new content. Add new seige mechanisms. Don't nuke defenses.
