@Farlander said in The decision for public vs citizens-only crafting stations should be made by Governors, not Dynamight:
I seem to remember a time when this forum community argued hard against the game steering toward large groups that dominated the landscape. It would seem logical to me that to combat that idea encouraging solo play or even small group play would be beneficial toward this end. I highly feel that solo play should not be a detriment to the point someone gets frustrated and quits the game.
As I told you before, I will tell you again. The people who are active on the forums, especially in the very early stages, will not be the majority at release. Established guilds will show up close to release and usually, people use their internal chat a lot more than forums so, with few exceptions, you won't hear their opinions. However, they will still gank weaker people, steal their resources, and use alts to bypass game limitations. The very same thing happened to Albion and there's pretty much nothing the devs can do about it.
PS: I agree with OP. Governors/building owners should be able to decide if the town is safe or not (like completely disable guards if they want to, or set them to only defend a certain group), the groups* that can use their buildings and how much tax each pays for doing so.
*nobody, friends, guild, ally, everyone
