What is the worst idea you can think of for Ashes?

And by worst I mean something actually within the realm of possibility, and not a completely out there suggestion, like "It gives you a plague when playing it, that kills you and your family in RL", or where the barrier of entry is so high almost no one could afford it. Like, 1 billion dollars to play.

My worst idea suggestions are adding NFTs and cryptomining:

All items in the game are NFTs, handled via a blockchain. Sales and purchases of items are done via Sandalcoin, a currency you mine for while playing the game. The more processing power you have, the more coin you gain, so maxing out your GPUs and CPUs is optimal. The game can run on properly set up mining rigs.

Keeping the family teleport system in the game.

Over relying on the in game store to give players options.

They both might actually be in the game, but they are the two worst ideas this game could have ever had. xD

You'll be glad to know Steven's already said he wants to keep real-world politics out of the game.
I don't got no sources, just a vague memory of him saying this somewhere...

Have those awesome community hubs called node villages/cities, but every single quest is given outside of it making every1 run across the lands on a scripted path.

That was the alpha experience for me at least. I pray it was just a placeholder.

I agree there should be no lore breaking yeti or other animal onesy costumes. Not having a good enforced naming policy would be another. Having a server with a role playing naming policy would be excellent. A lot of people don't like to see names created out of sentences, various body parts, etc.

That's oppressive. I would never make a character without a proper name but one of the few things that make me laugh on the internet are peoples nicknames.

You are asking for too much.

Having been through most of 2021, I guess we can add one thing to the list.

- Intrepid letting itself run into the same RL minefields as Blizzard did, get blown up, and drag Ashes down into the the abyss with it.

I'd assume Intrepid's working environment & culture are quite positive at the moment, I sincerely hope it'll stay forever that way.
Meanwhile Blizzard's downward spiral's just painful & saddening to watch
