Breaking boats as act of murder

Water should be dangerous. - Jorb
Die noobs die. - Jorb
haha lol - Jorb (maybe not exactly but something like that)

Devs of this game do not care. This is a common complaint which has been told to devs many times in many worlds, but they havent fixed it.
Thus I am pretty sure that they are not going to change their minds, but have meditated it for the time being, and will not be changing it.

What comes to avoiding it. Stay in shallow water, never go to deep water, pretty much.
The issues are as they have always been:
1. Most people don't know that this can happen, before they get killed
2. If somebody sees you, he will instantly aggro you and start hitting you with sword, you have maybe 5 seconds of time to react and get to shallow water, which is not always even possible. The first reaction is of course to boat away, not to the shore which is certain doom.

Best way to fix this is to maybe blatantly abuse it AND make video AND post that video to every place, and maybe then devs realize how stupid it is and fix it. It has worked before, after all. And is the only way to get change in this game, to abuse things, because devs don't seem to want to reason with these things otherwise.

it's been this way for a decade guy

Longevity doesn't mean something is a good thing.

However, there really isn't a nice and clean solution either, perhaps allowing the ability of a hearth back before you take asphyxiation damage?

yes the status quo is no justification for not changing the status quo but neither is the status quo being no justificaiton for changing the status quo justificaiton for changing that status quo

this doesnt need to be changed, it's fine

easiest way to murder someone just so happens to not leave a scent, and be a bug.

This has existed for over a decade
