    This is a very bad idea. Because then you would have people blocking doorways and entrances not allowing people to enter say the guilds that they need to do for their class quests. And they would have entire Free Companies and Linkshells doing this to grief people just because they get a kick out of it.

    The only thing I can see anti-collisioning put in for is NPC's and objects. But doing it for Player Characters is a horrible idea. Trust me.. I've played MMO's where this is enabled and it was literal hell. If you can't deal with people crafting on top of you then honestly that's something you're going to have to deal with.

    Hear what your saying but I have been playing for over 13 years in most of all the main mmo's and the ones that have the anti-collision I have not come across any issues apart from 1 instance in Rift,when they enabled mounts inside main buildings.

    I can see the point about open door ways and I would imagine that could be sorted by making door's into mini instances that zone you in,but I would guess they need to sort the server issues out first lol. But they really need to at least add something around bells and popular NPC's to stop players standing on them,which in turn can as you say cause grief to other players for kicks and yes I have had that experience in Rift.

    As for the crafting if they gave us our own supplier and enabled crafting in our inn rooms I would be the more than happy (wishful thinking) but maybe if/when they bring in FE (guild) halls we will be able to craft in there and able to buy supplies etc. as I really hate having someones character rear end stuck in my face via a monitor......while they stand there on top of you.

    They could just raise the summon bell or do something a bit different. Or make it so you can only summon them in inn rooms?

    the bit you quoted me on was more for the crafting where other players stand on top of you while your crafting and getting a rear or front end shoved in your face via the monitor lol.I know they are looking to add more bells and market boards to maybe ease some of the overcrowding but the market area's will always be a very very busy area and that is where I find it near enough impossible sometimes to click the bell.
