But this does not solve the problem of capturing the questgivers. Tree/stone may be on someone else's claim, behind a palisade. I would like to avoid this.
Given my comment they might end up behind a palisade, but never on a claim as they would relocate.

You know, jorb has always been sort of non-commital on this and any time I've seen a comment it was almost like the person who was doing the destruction really wasn't doing anything overall. I might even be inclined to make a wild speculation that they already do respawn in the world... It just causes all the current quests they've given fail.
Opinions expressed in this statement are the authors alone and in no way reflect on the game development values of the actual developers.

Well, at least having some indication that the tree you are chopping or the stone you are chipping is a quest giver wouldn't hurt. It will be still up to you if you want to be a dick or not, but at least it will be an informed decision.

Well, devs disagree with you as Jorb stated that being unable to distinguish quest givers, unless you have quests with them, is a positive thing.

Source? search.php?st=0&sk=t&sd=d&sr=posts&keyw ... b&start=10 doesn't bring anything.

I would agree that not being able to distinguish it at the first glance is a good thing. Being able to get that info by actual interaction with the object in question is another story. And not being able to get that info at all is arguably the worst approach.

It was mentioned during one of the streams some months back as a comment on a similar proposal. I wouldn't be able to find the exact stream without certain effort and I am not sure I care enough to bother. Whether you take my word for it or not it wouldn't change the cnaces of it being implemented.
