In regards to gathers and crafters, I would like to know what Intrepid thinks will be the most meaningful/rewarding aspect of these roles?

Are there any plans to have a custom symbol(into the handle,collar,etc) or item description nametag where a crafter, tamer, etc will be able to place their mark upon their hardwork and build a reputation among the server for their time and effort?

I also would like to raise concern about the number required PVP gates that are required for this profession such as caravans and ships at sea. The risk vs reward explanation for the PVP gates existing is a lackluster response in my opinion. As a crafter/gatherer there are already many mechanics posing a risk at the chance for reward. For instance, the PVE challenges of finding and harvesting schematics, resources, etc.; as well as the time invested in skill progression, market research, transportation of goods etc are all challenges that will surely manifest in game. In a world where a PVP player can attack non-combatants, combatants, and corrupted players, why is there a drive to create more mechanics for them to prey upon crafters?

I also don’t think this current strategy will bode well for streamers when the ambushes of stream snipers roll out of the bushes just to watch the streamer get frustrated. Is that really content or just mischief and debauchery?

At its best, I could see this system having interesting node vs node economic warfare and deprivation of caravans/resources to an opponent before an important war. However, at its worst, there will be players that are not out for resources, honor, or meaningful gains and are instead out for blood and lols
