I think this ^ ... when nidbanes were first introduced they were supposed to be able to help the lower tier players and hermit type players extract some kind of revenge on players they had no hope of defeating otherwise, I liked this idea, it brings some kind of balance, but the way they work in reality makes them totally pointless for this purpose.
in the case of a hermit how is it balanced y should a hermit be able to contest an equally skill but larger group of players its not balanced at all that is the danger of working alone they should encourage players to group up not enable them to live alone nidbanes are a dumb mechanic at worse and a bandaid at best instead of making mechanics to punish players that r ahead by players that r behind they should just make it easier for new players to catch up or make it so new players can add real value to farther ahead players so that they r more willing to team up then to kill them
I'm simply saying that was the reason for their introduction, to help lower tier players getting stomped all over by bigger groups and higher tier players, I'm assuming as some sort of encouragement.
I'm not saying a hermit or lower tier player is equal to a large group, I'm just saying I liked the introduction of nidbanes, the idea that if a large established group decides to attack a smaller unestablished group there is something that they can do in return that stops them feeling so helpless.
This game allows you freedom of choice in how you want to play, not everyone wants to group up or live in a large village where you are quite often not really experiencing the 'whole' of the game but rather specializing in specific roles, there should be no mechanic that forces players into a dictated way of playing.

They need a complete redo.
Yes, I can understand what you are saying here and I agree they do need reworking. Maybe only allow one nidbane to be sent on the person who has committed the crime at the time?
