A controversial suggestion

[Chance]

...

I didn't say that conflict doesn't exist and it isn't something present in world; I mean, obviously it does, otherwise it would be rather uneventful place. But the idea that you will be attacked if you leave your settlement and you have to be an active combatant is just wrong. Unless you're an active participant, nobody is going to be running up to say.. Nera or Friday and asking to D3 them. And if they do, A/D0 is always an option.

I think trying to turn this into a negative and exaggerating it as a problem is frankly odd. For most people this isn't even an issue to begin with, since it leads to a little unexpected spice and adventure, regardless of their usual preferences.

You don't need to agree with the sentiment. The fact is there are characters doing this daily is my point. It's simply 'you can actively run a tavern, start a newspaper, be an idol, a Camino Fan Club, be a wandering healer, a fortune teller, etc' without being heavily conflict involved and doesn't need to be contested. That sometimes turns into something more and has meaning/significance, or doesn't. In the end it's all good fun. It's what the second part of the original suggestion is about too.

Replying to these kinds of posts feels somewhat unfruitful, since to me it feels like I'm pointing out the obvious somewhat. Maybe that's not how you're intending to come across. I'm a person with a mindset of seeing opportunities and positives in the day to day, so it might just be a perspective issue and not really being on the same page to begin with.
