Why do you attack caravans? (Poll)

https://strawpoll.com/PKgleV4WQZp

I understand you may have more than one reason, but I'm interested in what is the main reason - or the motivation that is most relevant to you.

I don't, but that option isn't in your poll.

For many reasons really, with the % of successful caravans that have made it through to the number destroyed per Steven, their still seems to be a high success rate of making it. Many times if you get destroyed it's a case of wrong place, wrong time.

Good point, but I'm just interested in the reasons behind those who do attack.

For me it's because pvp is fun! What interests me about the game is the open world pvp and how that interacts with social/political dynamics. It can also be a way to get a lot of money for our guild and/or punish rivaling guilds. Launching a caravan can exponentially increase the amount of gold you have, but by design you can be attacked by literally anyone. I don't understand the entitlement some people have around feeling like you are not allowed to be attacked. PvP is a core part of this game!

Because caravans can basically like 10-15x the value of your glint, this opens up so much potential for content. Maybe this means being sneaky with a caravan, or maybe this means grouping up to protect your caravans. Maybe this means allying with certain guilds, or maybe it means hiring a mercenary guild to protect you. Maybe a guild that controls a node sways the public by promising to protect caravans. Maybe this creates storylines with "evil" guilds. All of this is uniquely fun imo.

Because I would rather get 75% for no risk than 150% with all the risk
