Playing a mini-game just to eat food o.o? Farming would be understandable, but the mini-game concept (or how I'm imagining it) just doesn't sit right with Haven, at least IMO :/
As for the actual topic, I don't think alt abuse will be much of an issue with Hafen anyways, given the fact that we no longer have hearth-spawns. Whether party-arrows are a thing or not, it's not like that will matter, since it will be required for you to actually meet up with someone before partying, right? (Pretty sure it's been mentioned that they won't be present, at least not initially.)
Of course, that would make grouping up with friends rely pretty much on comparing world maps and such, so I'm wondering if Jorbtar have some other mechanic in mind that they're not telling us about... >.>
