So, you've come up with a great idea you think MA should implement. It'll vastly improve the game in your opinion. Before you spout your idea, here's some things to think about:
1. Not everyone has the same play style as you
2. Not everyone has the same reason for playing as you do
3. Not everyone does the same activities as you
4. There are multiple planets now
Now, take your idea and consider: How would this affect players who do things VERY differently than you do?
Does your idea STILL make sense? OK fine post it and let's talk about it. Otherwise, back to the drawing board.
1. Not everyone has the same play style as you
You'd be amazed how many different ways there are of hunting, mining or even crafting (or combinations plus all the other activities ingame.
2. Not everyone has the same reason for playing as you do
Do you play for fun or profit? Others play for a different reason than you.
3. Not everyone does the same activities as you
I hinted at this back in #1. Would your idea mess up the hair cutters, clothing makers, painters, tree cutters, socialites, marketers, explorers, fruit gatherers, etc. etc. etc. plus all the folks who do your activity in conjunction with these and/or others?
4. There are multiple planets now
Each with their own "personality". How would your idea affect the atmosphere on each of them?
