Quest givers being palisaded

[TerriblePerson]

Quest giver (NPC if you like) is being blocked from people by simple palisade wall, stopping people from doing quests.

But why don't they give access to it? Once you pass through the gate, you won't be able to cut it down.

I support the author of this topic, as it is an unacceptable oversight by the game's management. Grifting is unacceptable in any form, and I have recently encountered this phenomenon. All quest givers are branded and closed off with a double-gate palisade. This is likely used to survive and prevent other players from accessing certain areas, similar to passive survival tactics. However, this is a repulsive behavior that requires attention from the game's creators. Here's an example: In the province of Caninsk, all questgivers are branded in this way, and new players try to settle in the new province, but when they build settlements, they cannot complete any of the credo quests, which forces them to either migrate or leave the game.

On the one hand, there's the problem of destroying quest givers, and on the other, their isolation.

Making them indestructible isn't a good idea. He might end up in the middle of my base, and what then?
I'm all for making it difficult to do so, and for being able to track down the perpetrator. That would solve the problem of them being destroyed.

But what about isolation?
Isolation may be a kingdom's tactic, albeit a "bad" one, but only another kingdom or a strong group can counter it. And this is a problem for individuals or small groups.
Banning territorial claims like they do with global resources? It doesn't seem like a good idea.

Not a bug.

Not a bug.

Genuine problem? Yes.

Programming error/oversight resulting in game behaving in unintended ways? Nope.

I don't know how it's implemented from a programming perspective, but I can suggest the idea of having quest givers respawn every X number of days, meaning that quest givers change their location every few days within a province. This could help address issues related to griefing (malicious behavior towards the game and its players).
