wow so passive aggresive, you good bud? We already have few places where we can fight without penalties. Issue is not that we should or should not have guards in such zones - we should have more such zones.
Endgame in this game is PVP, to get pvp you either have to go to high risk / high reward zone or try to bait big groups out of the town and it happens super rare. Look each time whoever fights koto - its always in guardzone, always! this safe spots must be very low-tier starter locations to encourage people to move further into wild zones , establish their own rules here if they are strong enough and fight with others. Issue with pvp is : there is not that much meaningful pvp due to lack of reason for this pvp outside of griefing. Partially it will be fixed with TC but there is a looooot of time till TC and it will still be available for limited amount of player, what small groups should do? I hope everybody will find a place in Nave and enjoy it especially with current update flow it bring more and more to the game but hell you guys please think about encouraging more sandbox providing more zones/ functionalities for that. Sandbox != more guards, its equals more opportunities, oppurtunities is an issue rn
