Thanks for the posts so far folks.
I need to stress that there isn't any single right answer here so its more valuable to have more differing opinions.
SO FAR. Reading most of these has me leaning towards a very minimal ruleset and just trusting that most players are looking to have fun and roleplay.
Will there be a handful of players looking to optimize their builds/authority as soon as possible with less than scrupulous means?
Yes absolutely. But to be more optimistic maybe there won't be as many this time.
PvP conflicts still seem to be a complicated issue, but the gist is that if we follow something similar to what we have now, you cannot be forced into it UNLESS both parties consent which should discourage players from going for the most optimal thing each time hopefully.
After all, someone with a more 'fun' oriented combat build is less likely to walk into their doom against someone with old reliable and tested when stakes are on the line.
