You could likely stop someone ramming your base by barraging him with arrows if you tried hard enough and had enough arrows. I'm not saying they're super useful though right now just that the only time you ever use them is when there's a wall between you and your enemy.

What are they actually good for in their current form then, though? Griefing noobs who haven't yet learned to build their walls more than one rendering distance away?

That pretty much sums up havens bow system.
I remember in every village i've been in, everyone wants a spot in the center plots, where they can afk and not be shot XD
Early world exploit: Put your hearthfire inside a cave, then hold shift to position a claim right in front of a cave. After 8 hours the claim will be unbreakable. Since your hearthfire is inside the cave, you can still get back inside, and leave, but nobody will be able to enter, effectively making you unraidable for the first 3-7 days. Enjoy

Nope.

Shooting through walls is just griefing.



Shooting "over" walls is ballistics. I always assumed that since the arrows made it past the wall, despite no graphical ballistic arc that is why they did. And yes, as Clark pointed out, as a hermit this completely removes the one thing i could do to at least "try" to show some activity towards those attacking my hermitage. Now I suppose it's just: Notice guys setting ram? 2: Log out.

Those foolish hermit who would think about fighting back with there bow were one shot by the sling of the attackers, same logic as the multinationals lobiing pretending there support to liberal laws is to defend the little craftsmans.

I don't think it was you who kicked me, and it didn't bother me at the time, not to mention it was over 3 years ago. How do expect anyone to carry a grudge that long? get over it.
