I’m glad still some people see that as a problem. But I’m pessimistic, the rubicon towards a themepark MMO in highsec was crossed with RW, and the new developer generation does not understand and value sandbox play.
IMO there is no middle ground or hedging … just don’t spawn player manufactured items outside of the NPE. Don’t do it, no compromise.
I remember some years back there was the goal to make everything player build finally, what happened?
