Another suggestion thread containing 2 unrelated suggestions ... people should be banned for this offence to common sense ... but then there would be very few contributors left ...

- mutters unspeakable ogre speak -

Okay, on the first suggestion: a very nice thought, but I won't kudo it for the simple reason that I feel it should not end up in the priority list for next 2 years. That list is already so stuffed with planned features and improvements on the current mod that new features must score high on the ratio between added value and cost of efforts. Despite the high potential added value to players, I fear the foort this will cost will be too high to justify this on Mevans short-to-mid-term-to-do-list.

The second suggestion is also very nice, and I feel the frustration with you and many others ... but I feel the way it currently works is more fitting. Traders do not just find you when you're in the wilderness hunting foes ... you should find them, stumble upon a travelling trader, more by accident than as a planned encounter. The suggested modification would guarantee a player to find a trader close-by ... which would not fit in the (limited) 'realism' we should also need to account for, to our best possibilities within MC.

So, one case of annoyance + 2 buts and clear objections = no kudo.
