Granted combat is a part of almost all MMO's. But not ALL.
That's partly why I made this thread. You see, it's the players that have come here with the impression that this game is focused on pvp that cause my concern. Show me where the developer(s) have ever said that pvp was their focus. I have looked high and low and .. nope... not found that statement anywhere.
Wishing something is true does not make it true. This game was always focused on sandbox style crafting and building with a few unique aspects like terraforming... with a small bit of pvp added in because of the simulated environment. Namely, humans in a post-apocalyptic world, of course there will be fighting but quite frankly survival would be WAY more important to people in such a world than risking the possibility of losing their hard won belongings.
Look at this from the perspective of a real person in such an environment, and you will see his core vision. too many are looking at this from the perspective of MMORPG players looking for that next game to soothe their bordom jones.
I think perhaps some are looking at this all sideways.
