If it's a good thing, why are you wanting to cleanse it?
So, you want this cosmetic only skin to be a pay to win staple of the game?
Cash chop Items are equal for all players to make use of...
That kind of thinking is the sort of corruption that no bath can cleanse.
This is my personal feedback, shared to help the game thrive in its niche.
GREAT! An Onsen-Ryokan! (Japanese hotspring-inn)
Very much so
Without reading the rest of the conversation I will simply say this. If a freehold has this then it should be open to being raided and pillaged via other players While said owner is corrupted.
Obviously I dont expect this to be added at all, but that is what would have to happen to keep in line with how corruption is supposed to work.
ooooh.
I'm so tempted.
A red player can be attacked anywhere so this isn't an issue. As per attacking the freehold, it should continue to follow normal freehold sieging.
I dont think a red player should be able to go to a private freehold to cleanse off corruption though.

No no I don't mean that at all, sorry I should clarify. The cosmetic skin for the building is simply a cosmetic that can be skinned to a particular building to only change its appearance. It would certainly be P2W if this particular cosmetic had that capability, but that's not what I'm suggesting, I will edit the OP.
I am referring to the actual building itself that anyone can make and create on their freehold (given they have the schematic blueprint). I really don't know what type of building this particular skin will be applied to, the description of this skin (can be found in OP) leads me to believe its some sort of healing fountain building, others say its a fishing pool. I'm not sure.
But if the building is some sort of healing fountain with rejuvenating and cleansing abilities, it would be nice if it could also cleanse corruption.

Yes but you are suggesting that free holds suddenly give a benefit for corrupt players when being corrupt is a punishment. The only reason military nodes give something similar is because they want to promote more fighting in that node than normal.
asgerr was right its just flavor text, flavor text is a fancy word for something with no flavor.
flavor text is like sprinkles on the floor. You know they are there and you have to clean them up cause they don't do anything.
I don't like flavor text I vote we use gifs to describe the arts.
Like this for the pool that cleanses corruption:
Hot tub time machine!!!
If that is the case then there could be a 10-15% buff applied after going to the healing fountain/pool that reduces corruption in some sort of way.

its okay man, I know all carebears will say this exact same thing and shoot down the suggestion because it doesn't benefit them.
But there is more to the community than just goodie greenies in the game, among the red/corrupted player community that I have shared this suggestion with they all liked it very much.
Black Sails Discord
It's not going to come from cosmetics. It's not going to come from resting in buildings.
That has nothing to do with carebears and everything to do with the dev design for how Corruption is removed. That design will never include something as simple as resting in a pool somewhere.
If you read my OP and some responses recently in this thread you would see I've already addressed those points you just made.

It's silly that you believe that you will be able to just spend your days playing as a corrupted player without willingly finding loopholes to exploit. As things stand, the best way to go out "killing players" will be to elect 1 to 3 people in your group to be corrupt while the rest of your party stays as combatants and zerg down solo/small groups of greens. All you need to do is have those 3 players get the last hits to keep the corruption isolated. This will 100% be abused until addressed. For you who will use this for pvp to say "lul look at all the goodie greenies, me so cool me abuse system to steal stuff. Hurr durr me smert." I can only laugh at how sad that sounds.
You want to be hardcore? Go own a castle with your guild. Or lead a siege on a node and win. This running around while corrupted crap is just over-complicated murder hoboing and it's a silly joke to act like that makes you a good player.
Lol just go check out our recruitment post and you'll see we are going to do those exacts things. I do like your impersonation of what you believe corrupted players are like though haha, too bad that's never the case.
You don't gotta worry about the strategies we will do to optimally kill people, we will surely find every method possible to efficiently kill others.
But back on the actual subject of this thread, the point is to offer a new suggestion to reduce corruption from a freehold building for a player that has corruption.

But you are the ones who want an easy way to cleanse yourself? seems hypocritical
The goal is to kill in any way that we want to kill, fighting with a corruption debuff is inconvenient. I absolutely want more ways to reduce corruption.
