Prelude: World 16.2

" Let's make a PvE world where you don't even need to build palisades or walls anymore"

Ever stepped out of your cabin before pali was built to find an adder at your feet? Ever stumbled on a bear and can't outrun it? (For a bit more reality, bears could spawn in caves.) In a PVE world dangerous animals could be made more powerful so there's a greater chance of you being killed than just KO'd. The main difference in a PvE world vs PvP world is you know which animals are dangerous so if you are careful you can avoid them; but you've no idea which players are dangerous so you avoid all of them. Which severely inhibits any possible social aspect of the game.

hermits asking for a pve world while not presenting a fix for the hundreds of problems itself would bring, you love to see it

[Audiosmurf]

Ultimately the greatest most insurmountable issue is that PVE would require active moderation/GMs to not be a total shitshow 24/7, which will on purpose never happen because of the point of the game

First come, first served. The idea that it’s your god-given right in a sandbox game to murder everyone simply because they built their base where you wanted to build is very childish. Just go somewhere else. It's a big map.

Still a PvE world would need to rework claim upkeep to make it 1000x more annoying.
The current Presence system is way too free. Running out of Presence basically only happens after a player quits. Maybe pay it in Experience. Make players really work for it.

PvE is real
Jorb is jorb
No hermit is illegal
Snail should be banned

How do we fix Jorb and Loftar? They think it's fine when players use bots. You can use a bot for everything.
