Freehold Raiding: would you?

The idea of having a little piece of land to do my dark bidding (raising cool mounts to sell) sounds extremely enticing so naturally I'm a bit worried about after siege marauders giving me the Luke Skywalker backstory. So I have a question for players who are interested in this part of the game: would you try to go out there after a successful siege and pillage or would you leave the owners of freeholds to be? And how much bribery would make you change your mind?;D

If you got the loot people will come for it. I highly doubt that any freehold will be safe after a successful siege. Even if you pay off one party, there can be so many parties involved in a siege that someone else is bound to attack your freehold.

I was mostly asking about each person's individual opinion on that mechanic! Not the prediction on how safe/unsafe the freeholds are gonna be. I myself would not do that probably (but who knows maybe participating in massive pvp will make me bloodthirsty)

give me all your crafting materials

They don't seem to think it will be a feature at launch, but there have been items posted by the devs about potentially having Guild Freehold/Guild Hall Sieges, as a part of guild war functions.

Personally, I'd love to see this happen, though I guess it'd kind of be odd if you were one of the (I think 3) guilds that a Node will allow to put your guild hall in the town/city itself to have a fight break out that didn't involve anyone except those two guilds. Odd, but welcome!

If I was in the siege, and am looking to pillage after destroying a rival, then yes. If im passing by, then its time to go in the other direction before the raiders come.

of course! just a bonus level to a successful siege with even more bonus loot!

Wouldn't know if I'd participate until I'm there, but I really don't think sieges will be as frequent as many are making them out to be...and that's not counting the cooldown between sieges that'll already be in place.

Mebbe if the freeholder was in a guild we were at war with otherwise I'd go elsewhere for my loot

If I'm participating in a siege, I'll have a pla for what to do afterwards - success or fail. If your freehold is on that list, sorry.

If I am not involved in the siege, I probably have plans, and raiding your freehold isnt going to hold me up.

I see no reason to *not* raid any associated freeholds after a successful siege.

We've burnt & looted even the poor folks (who could only afford in-node housing) already, why on earth would we spare the rich (freehold owners)?

As much as the rogue class interest me, thievery doesn't. I prefer to earn my pay by working for it rather than taking it by force from someone else.

Ha! I don't know about that... I may not raid your home, but I've not committed my hide to defend it either. If I do so, it should be free of charge though, if it's worth anything toward my sainthood.

If it actually gives me something other than annoying people, I'd definitely be more incentivized to do it. There will always be people that enjoy watching stuff be destroyed though, you can't avoid it, it's part of life and will naturally be part of the game.

Yeah, absolutely. I'd go for anything that was nearby. And I'd totally be open to bribery.

So, you're not going to join in any Node Sieges, Castle Sieges, etc?

I'm actually not a very big pvp fan due to being anxious about inconveniencing people if I win and being bummed out if I lose;'D Massive pvp is better but then I straight up don't know what to do and try to follow the smartest looking person and attack who they attack
