Instead, accept that there are bad people and work towards stopping them and helping people help themselves become safer. If you're serious become a real whiteknight and stake out an area of the world to protect. Contact those villages and ask if they need help, range for scents and so on.
You know, I think a lot of people are missing the point. At least as far as I can tell, those "bad people" are a major point of the whole game structures. Who needs level 30 balrog warriors to be the bad guys when you have a couple raiders with no pvp restrictions and too much free time on their hands?
There are plenty of games out there with different play styles, and if people don't like the raiding/greifing/PvPing, they should either put an end to it in their area or pick a different game. As I see it, the complete freedom of player action plus the very serious possible consequences of those actions are exactly what make this game great.
Just to be clear, Barra, I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm agreeing and clarifying my opinion.
While I am in this cesspit of a thread, let me say one more thing. As far as I know, the devs want a forum that has as much free speech as possible while still being slightly or at least conceivably intelligable/useful. Some people might complain about the posting habits of some or all of the mods, but they are missing the point. The mods on this forum, unlike many other forums, are not here to either be polite themselves or to enforce politeness on other forum denizens. They are here to try to keep the forum at least slightly usable.
