Not AI. Whole hunting is like a shit, which leads to abusing.
Remove hunting please.

lets be real here, they blocked the thing into a small square with bushes, and then had an alt run into agro range and spend the next half hour running in and out of agro as they took potshots at it with bows. they should honestly be banned for this shit, but the devs give no fucks about their game. their answer to everything is "heavily nerf every aspect of the game rather than deal with the problem players who actively exploit bugs and glitches"

How is using current game mechanics to it's fullest potential to mitigate risk and maximize reward bug exploitation?

A bug implies that such mechanics are an unintended side effect.
Are you saying that animals should never de-aggro with distance? That it should persistently chase after you forever? Is that what you want?

Git gud, damn.
W3 to W6 - Blockland. Special mentions: New Avalon, Tarn of Hotdog, Red October.
W7 - Elvenia, til we all got lazy.
W8 - Cult of R'lyeh, til the deeps called us back.
W9 - Tartarus, til death/wizards came for the land itself.
W10 - ???, ruined and forgotten.

Honestly, this is just flaming. What exactly is bannable in this behaviour? Hunting and taming has been like this for ages and worlds.
Many people (me included), reported these abuses to the devs, and there was a feedback post from them, discussing methods on how exactly is the AI cheesed. It clearly shows that they care about game progression being side-stepped.
We got a nerf to these early games abuses via the survival-hardcap, so no more 450q mammoths slain on day 1.

You cannot ban people because cave entrances, long ridges, rivers and rocks exist.

A simple bush or stone should not stop anything. animals should be able to path through bushes and rocks

Kill animals the same way. It's a well known game mechanics (c).

to better enjoy the world in your own pace avoid the traditional flexing threads, screenshots included... find your own pace, the game experience is much better, at least in last world it was possible to survive in slow mode...

Completly agree.
You can never compete with big factions as a hermit but the game is still fun if you play it your own way as long as you can avoid the lurking tedium thats why im against some of the changes like the support one or the wild bees or the fucking mosquitos.
https://strawpoll.com/xh2d3zr2 if you give a fuck about mining vote on this. Make mining great again! Bring back old supports.
