Food and water

It is not that hard to pick fruit in random encounters. Seems to me a lot of people are against it because it messes up their way of playing. Not everyone is a crafter, not everyone is a PK-- or interested in PvP for that matter. I see it as another way to boost the economy of the game. If you don't want to waste time finding food you can just buy it from another player-- that is part of the point. It could also open the door to new professions that improve the quality and benefit from specific foods.

As for automatic eating of food in inventory-- I'd be ok with that as long as there was an option to poison food-- and reverse pick pocket it. :)

As for it making new characters more of a target-- from what I've seen blue suits already are. Anyone who has played for just a few hours knows that people will kill you knowing that you probably don't have anything of value. That is just part of the wastes. :P

I mean yeah, it could make things harder-- for example, if factions had to keep their base stocked with food and water or else run the risk of their guards retreating.

I don't think anyone said anything about starving while offline.

How to prevent Niceboat's prophecy? Make it so that low levels only need to consume low level food: apples, meat, everything cheap and unrefined. While high levels needed refined food like noodles and whatnot. Maybe even booze and cigarettes to keep their stress levels down, killing hundreds of people is actually nerve racking unless you're a psycho  ;) 

But all in all there's no reason to add this yet since it would make just another reason to make an additional alt and make wasteland harsher for those who aren't powergamers.

This would actually be horribad for weak gangs and the few semi-experienced loners out there, especially if such hi-tier food would be available in unguarded locations. Also, honestly - if getting food would be easy, what's the point? Let's just assume it's fully automatic and screw it. Now, on the other hand, if food were to be scarce - by all means, introduce it, just be aware that the consequences will be severe and won't hit the people some people would love to aim at.

Once again: you can't hit the top of the server with changing game mechanics. They're on the lead for a reason. You can hurt other people with introducing such stuff, but I doubt they'd like it.

Surf:
It won't be implemented to hurt the "server elite" or other players, but for the atmosphere.  ::)

Floodnik:
Wasteland is going to be even more harsh. Yeah!
