This thread isn't about newbie kill farming, nor is it about PVP. Could we please stay on topic.

I will restate my question which is ;

If people join the shard and start to think '' Oh god, someones going to kill me while I'm afk macroing, I should really mine and sell my ingots, or hunt. in order to buy a house ''
Don't you think this would stabilize the economy, aswell as throw some fun in for the new players?

I do not think that the economy will change by people mining. A lot of resources trading hands is always good though, and if this really worked, I'd be more than happy to do it just cause of that. I also do not believe in forcing people into doing something that they might not want to do, and if mining is their only option (which in fact it would be, since hunting can get too hard on low levels), then I think that it would be a bad contribution.

I also think that it causes more "bad" feelings towards the server (being killed killed while macroing, as I do not believe a lot of players will "go with the flow" of the mining idea), which will end up with people quitting. If you log on to a server, see 100 grievers just waiting to kill you (no matter the reason), chances are you'll think that this isn't the place for you.


It's just my opinion though. I do think that you have a point, just not sure it applies to a real world situation.


EDIT: If it sounds like I'm shooting you down, then I sincerely apologize. I'm open to the idea, just skeptical whether it will work in practice and about the image it would create for our server.
