I don’t feel anything really hurts anymore when I play solo, except if I am set back from star metal to stone tools but with stash boxes spreading it around I can mitigate those odds, or if I am remote and loose my map room maybe.
Everything else feels like either an easy acquisition or a non essential loss, like I don’t any fancy thralls.
When I play in my large clan however its different, the greed and loss goblins set in because everyone feels a sense of large acquisition when you have literal boxes of thralls, boxes of DP and all the endgame goodies and 20 spares.
The usual churn in a large clan goes like, first lots of PVP fun and raiding, massive resource acquisition, some rival pokes their head up with a decent size clan (usually but not always) we smash them and raid them out in pvp, but then if they don’t quit and keep coming back we get sick of it because we need to all be online way more then we care to be, everyone I tend to play with is an adult with somewhat of a life, so we usually opt to body vault and just move on, because base guard duty (has to be multiple if the server keeps filling up) is a chore.
holding onto loot is burdensome you become the dragon living in the cave to guard his horde, having nothing but an ancient spear and reaper poison is the most liberating thing in the world.
