5.3 - Hotfix 1

[Eternal.Journey]

Rep for goods. Eh. I don't trade, but I know for a fact that this change makes building things awkward. Really Awkward. Not sure if that's a good thing or not but Eh. I normally have to buy my HRC goods off of an NPC base because by the time i come round to do anything, everyone's already traded the stock off of pobs.

And this doesn't exactly affect powertraders except for those using ONLY NPC route trading. This doesnt even address the issue of shitty powertrader interactions either, because it does not encourage them to roleplay any more than they did before. Healingp a symptom doesnt cure the cause. Maybe it needs more thought on implementation, maybe it simply needs a way for OFs to be able to utilise something to get this so those that do RP can continue to do RP as they have with Convoys etc. Either way, it was not a great change to just add.

Community is mixed about it, with a heavy lean towards the negative impact aspect. Need to find a way that alleviates this and enhances the gameplay experience for those who will be interacting with this loop of gameplay.
