erm, limp jedi... this is whats known as having a discussion about something. Just to see what people think about it. If I was in the same room as you and I suggested the idea perhaps at worst you might say 'no i think its a bad idea' or 'Jeez do you work out...thats a great idea mate'
So dont tell someone to go away because you dont like a topic discussion they raise 'please'.
I am allowed to voice my ideas and opinions, its whats known as freedom of speech. Unless everyone should run their topic ideas through you before we post them on the forums?

Anyway back to the discussion.

I kind of agree about the resource farmers would be annoying, and that seems to be the thing that everyone dislikes the most. But if the majority of resources could only be obtained through combat, thus making the resource farmers dependable on what people bring back with them it might balance it out a bit. Infact salvaging materials from battlezones could add quite a fun dimension to the gameplay.
If it was like this I would be more into combat anyway, I just think it might make it feel more realistic if there was 'more to do' in the safe zones.
