Here's how you protect yourself:
1. Learn yeomanry as fast as you can. build a claim and some palisades.
There you go, now no bandit can get to your crafters.
what kind of bullshitery is that ants? they are big deal because they first will secure area by getting rid of any competition regardless if those players would help them or be their pain in the ass. secondly those people will target anyone outside of their secured area for fun because if you have no idea claims take time to dry and its enough for a random killer in multiple numbers scattered all around the world to bash your claim and kill you. experienced it 3 times in a row until one time i just hid in a cave somebody already check for ore and probably never bothered again and i was finally secured. how many people could share such fate if they didnt got the white flag yet? true you dont lose much but if you cant get much in the first place.
going further people who think any raiders - me included - spend time on raiding noobs with siege weapons are really naive or dumb. make vandal alt easly then put wb then wait for the victim to investigate scents and kill or ko and grab stuff. if you dont hit a metagamer then more than half time you get the keys and can almost effortlessly inflict even more suffering and pain to poor people that you stumbled upon assuming they didnt quit after the first kill or ko. settuping something like this doesnt take a lot of time. not to say some stupid random ass did try to pull that tactic twice on me during last world and lost few vandals alts since its hard to fool somebody using same tactic.
just because hermit base is almost the same as faction base in terms of raiding time it doesnt matter people wont find a way to do pain in other way that either doesnt involve siege or involves it in a way where a hermit is already in position of having time to escape or not
literally all this was emotional garbage and no actual constructive argument against the "dying in the beginning literally doesnt matter"
