Incentives for staying flagged in the Open World

Hello there!

I wanted to start a discussion on consensual open world pvp outside of the Caravan System. I have my own feelings towards Caravans, and while I think they need a lot of work, I think that system is great for driving the economy.

However, I have yet to intentionally flag myself for pvp and it's really bumming me out. So, I have a suggestion.

Give players who flag intentionally a boost to all experience gains they make while flagged. XP from leveling, to weapon skills, to gathering skills. Processing/Crafting should probably be left out for, hopefully, obvious reasons. No one wants to be ganked while their UI is full of crafting menus.

In the current Alpha, it sure does take a looooong time to grind. And, it should take this long in a nice safe environment. But what if I wanted to speed things up at the risk of losing some of my glint/materials? I really think that should be an option, and to me it doesn't seem like it would take that much to implement and this is the perfect environment to test it in to get player feedback. If an overwhelming majority of players hate it, just roll it back.

I really hope the dev team considers this, even though it was not in their original scope.

Would love to hear what the rest of the community thinks on this!

I think hate is a strong word for a system you do not have to partake in at all

I kind of don't like the suggestion a little bit.
