I agree that the picking stuff up and getting stuck thing is suboptimal, but anything else felt exploitable.
Not exactly. You said that once a single charter stone has been created, players will no longer be allowed to spawn at the ring right? So you've effectively
forced us to have new players
use new rings. If the Ring is still available to begin the game then I think most of the problems people have will be resolved.
People who don't want to align themselves with a village right away shouldn't have to.
Edit: Also, you shouldn't have to publicly reveal your location just to get players that you know out of game into your village. If you can't spawn at the RoB and you want your friend to come to your village but you don't want your village to be part of the network. You have to have your friend spawn at a random village and walk from there instead with no idea where it is in relation to your village.
