Low Level Hunting

So this just happened to me today, and some may take it as griping/moaning but whatever. I have just recently started, just shy of level 5 and progressing through quests to explore the "new" nodes and camping points. Have a decent amount of resources on me by this point as i've been gathering and hunting on my way in between. Anyways, as I'm talking to the new, to me, merchants/processers I get attacked by someone only assume is at least double my level as I get killed in two ticks of 215dmg each, so I lose easily half my resources there. Again dont care, risk/reward balancing issues and pvp I am good with. Now on my way back to said town to do the part of my quest there and then try to dip, I get attacked by someone at least 3 levels above me and die pretty quickly, again. And again, losing a large chunk of my already diminished resources.

Now, I understand it may come off as griping/crying, but I'm just trying to suggest something for players JUST STARTING the game. Whether that is a level anti-pvp lock, similar to BDO (Black Desert Online for those who don't know) or/and a city/town safe zone that is active ONLY WHEN there is no siege/player-monster attack. I am all for forced PVP and Risk/Reward drops and the such, but I'm only looking for suggestions and suggesting things that are more balanced for newer and more casual players. Now I understand this is only Alpha 1 and we don't have much to work with on levels and level locking pvp, but it would be nice to see a safe zone in towns, as suggested above, or some sort of level protection.

What are other's thoughts on this?

    The planned penalties for PvP don't seem to be in the game, as far as I know. I'd hesitate to comment on the system, because short of "completely disallow ganking," there's no reason giving feedback on PvP yet.

    True, I hadnt thought of that when I posted this.
