Maybe even have these tasks take you near the freehold plots so before you bid you’re able to get an idea of what the parcels looks like. one type of science mentioned was archeology which can lead to discovering dungeons and such.

You should really watch at least a retelling of that stream Steven said they're thinking about having char-bound certificates that you get for doing node-related activities (differentiated by type of the node). This could still be potentially locked by guilds, but would probably be waaaay harder to do.

What is up? You seem intent on just making things up that are negative and game breaking. I suggest a puppy from the shelter. It will benefit both of you.

Like I said as soon as we saw the feedback to the freehold showcase - Intrepid are already considering changes to their system. I expect them to go even further.

Imo it's good news that freeholds require group effort.

Imo it's good news that freeholds require group effort. From the most recent Q&A at Ashen Forge Steven said their may be other things involved in obtaining a freehold, not just gold. Gold will be part of it, but there may be other things that will be required that a group of people can't just pass off. Such as renown, types of certificates, etc. There should be an INFO drop sometime this week. to shed a bit more light on Freeholds.
