I have always been like this. I enjoy crafting and exploring and would much rather have a pvp toggle so I can enjoy the elements of the game I want to without potentially hugely impactful negtaive affects from other players.
Sadly that is not the game DU is - and I think we all have to take a balanced look at the game and decide whether the positives outweight the negatives. In this case, for me, they do. Finding and joining an org, or starting your own, is really the only viable option to improve your safety and reduce the likelihood of a griefer attack. Its not ideal and, when faced with similar feedback for New World Amazon Game Studio's introduced pvp as a toggle and saw their pre-orders rocket as a result. I think we all know that won't happen with NQ so we all just have to suck it up and try and be as safe as possible so we can enjoy those elements of the game we love in relative safety!
