Affecting the Ecosystem?

in Ashes Of Creation General Discussion
I was listening to a recording of one of the QA and I heard steven mention that our actions would have an effect on the ecosystem around us.

Now I know as a known feature that the larger the node grows, the bigger badder enemies "Wake up" and start appearing. But could it possibly go even deeper?

Let's say someone finds the best animal to kill cause it drops more skin to make leather, suddenly everyone rushes out to kill said animal. Could they have something where because of the overhunting, the spawns on that animal are decreased. But any smaller creatures that animal normally hunts would explode in population because the players are killing off its predators?

just wanna know what " affecting the ecosystem " really means if anyone can drop some knowledge :D

    I'm wondering how Summoning might change the ecosystem.
    If we overkill some creatures, what will move in to fill the vacated space?

    They have talked about resources being limited, though in the context it sounded like they were talking about mining, so it's possible that animal resources will also be limited.

    I'd expect that something like that will happen, but I'm not sure about the smaller animal population explode.
    well, lesson is, don't overhunt.

    While I like the idea, it will encourage "no lifers" to farm the spot completely dry, then dump the materials onto the AH, for vast profits. While this does reflect real would conditions, it's a PITA.
