Do not gate deconstruction.

The fact that only crafters can deconstruct is the dumbest thing i've seen so far in aoc.

WTF am i supposed to do with my extra gear? find a crafter with that specific skill to decon it?

Every mmo ive played that has deconstruct or some form of it allowed everyone to do it.

Allow ALL to do it.

    As a surprise to no one, L2 had this only on crafters :D The roots keep popping up from under the ground.

    Doesn't mean it's a good design

    Depends on if stalls will provide this service, imo. Craters matter more, deconstruction available at all times, nodes get more foot trafic because people will need to go to those stalls, there's more travel in the game which means more player interactions.

    Yeah pretty sure stall are spose to allow this at some stage so you can pay a player vendor to do it for you

    player stall of freeholds i forget which but there spose to have services crafters have aka repairing/deconstructing and what not, wether or not that end up making it into the game i guess who knows but it was mention in one the streams or something ages ago i forget which though

    On that note, do people care if the stall deconstruct is actually social?

    Example:
    Option A - You can leave items in the 'care' of the stall, they're marked as yours by name and you can only pick up the results after the crafter does the work on it or rejects the job (you can ofc cancel your 'order' anytime)
    Option B - The stall is just a spot where a specific crafter gets passive money from anyone who uses it and they don't have to do anything themselves.

    Given everything else about the game I was definitely assuming we were going to get option A, but lately I'm wondering if even AoC people would actually accept that.
    "I blame society."
    "For what...?"
    "Just about everything, really."

    I fully expect Option B. Again, mainly because L2 :)

    And also cause this

    Renting a player stall enables players to provide repair and enchanting services, even when they are not online.[9]

    Where Steven's language is pretty much just an advanced version of what L2 had.

    Sure but I ask because if there's one thing I'm confident that their Econ Designer will tell them whenever he/she arrives, it will be 'you shouldn't have this as an easy option'.

    So, with that faith, I ended up interested to ask if people actually would care enough to pressure Intrepid into letting it be basically afk repairs.

    Players pressure devs into making the game worse all the time, you can often tell if a game is going to get worse purely by which complaints get a mob instead of getting pushback in worldchat or forums.
