Today I met some quiet stranger on a peninsula where my friends used to live. Their claim went inactive yesterday, so I assembled wrecking ball to reclaim the place. I logged in no more than after one hour the wball was ready for use, and to my surprise I discovered that the wall was already broken. I've spend some time to make a gate around a breach. Not much later a stranger has logged in right inside a palisade. His gear was not bad, he had a bow. I greeted him, asking a question with an obvious answer (whether he was the person which used my wball before me), counting to get some talking (hopefully, instead of an arrow to the knee). To my surprise, he neither answered nor attacked me. Instead of this, without a word he just proceed to take what pitiful loot was remained at the place, walking past me, firstly loading a boat, secondly taking from it wball that I just packed, and establishing it against another wall (the structure where we were has multiple sections). Then he just logged off/teleported away.
So... dear person with a bow, if you are reading this, would you care to comment your... quiet but determined attitude? I was going to ask whether you living near or far and playing actively or not. Since it's getting lonely around.
Or maybe someone other can provide me with some socio background about that kind of situations which I clearly miss due the lack of experience, trying to figure out what that was.
