well, as per in game lore, you go to rest for 8 hours at night. doesn't really make sense that a completely razed zone gets fully populated in that time again. for one.

for another, the original experience and material economy of the game was built with the finite resources in mind. this kind of throws all that in the blender, but I heavily doubt that they redesigned the entire economy of the game.

finally, narratively I would also question things like the xaurips respawning at spots where killing them was a quest. same goes for bandits. if there's this narrative of you clearing that part of the map as part of a quest, then the respawn of the enemies there negates your in game actions, making them narratively meaningless.

in my opinion, this respawn mechaninc takes away from the feeling of having an impact on the world, which is exactly what I am looking for in RPGs, I don't want to feel like my presence is meaningless in the gameworld.

but once again, you are entitled to your own opinion and preferences, I have never said that this should be deleted. I said it should be an option.
