This is one of the issues that has to be solved before launch.

At the moment buildings don't matter. Tribes are safe zones so there's no real point in building walls. Houses don't do anything so they're vanity.

Thus things that require building (masonry etc) is worthless

Armor is useless especially with overpowered starter weapons

Weapon crafting is useless for the same reason.

Savaging is useless because there's nothing worth crafting (see above)

The only thing you need is basketry to hold food and fishing/foraging to get food. That's it. Someone please tell me the point of anything else now.

Removing/heavily nurfing starter weps will give reason to craft/reason to fight over resources. While we wait for tribal wars to start there's nothing else worth doing.
