That is what I envision.
Can we please, for f*s sake, go back to that? Day 2? When everything was exciting, people hunted and adventured? You could have sporadic meetings with people in the wilderness? You had to fend for yourself? Hunting grounds were bloody beautiful and plentiful?
Holy crap, I miss those days. It would even be worth sporadic disconnects and being stuck in shops.
It was so great before everyone figured out damage calculators and IP configs and started OEing with calculators. Before everyone got Yalms and started doing missions half a planet away. When 95% of the population was still on foot.
Nope, not any more. The outposts are vacant (due partly to spamming around those mini-ops, partly to nerfing the hunting spots like Temple, etc etc), no one travels, everyone goes where they should. THAT is why this game is no longer fun.
