Kiting

[Looter]

How the auction hall run drier and drier of equipment tells me that lower level players are trading less and less. The newer players never stayed in my experience, they got bored and left, maybe having a few craftables but mainly using marketplace items before quitting. The game has little draw to new players to stay given the availibity of other mods where results can be achieved far quickly. In persistent mods like pw even you can get farther than in ni. And bannerlord being known to players they might not want to spend time on a warband mod requiring countless hours of dedication. But really doesn't matter the reason, fact is there are few players now. 

On kiting: yes to this, encourage all playstyles, there's no reason to drive away players by forcing them to play a certain way we all know happens.
