Threatening to kill folks for herbs

Now that's interesting. Do you just pick a random druid, and walk up
and threaten to kill them if they don't give you herbs? Have you
ever actually killed a druid who said he wouldn't give you herbs?
If the answer to that is no, and you are just bluffing, then let's
let the druids know that you won't do that. If the answer is yes,
and you are killing folks for NOT giving you something, let us know
so we can inform Sarapis of it. If you are just full of malarkey
(as usual), then we won't hear a yes or no answer, the most likely
result. Though I did hear that Navi was selling to you, and has
been chastised for doing so..perhaps she believed you could kill
her through grace, and thus she should sell to you?

In response to Kaeye, yes, there are of course ways around any ban..
but if it's completely and absolutely ineffectual, then why do
we constantly hear whining about it? Since the Sentinels imposed
this herb ban, we hear constantly that it's not working, followed
immediately by complaints about how tough and unfair it is, often
by the same folks one right after the other. We don't expect to
completely cut off herbs to Ashtan, indeed, we wish that the
95% of Ashtan that doesn't support the activities of Andelas
and cronies in making herbs scarcer would stop supporting those
folk, and would kick them out of the city and ostracize them
as they deserve..but since that isnt going to happen, and we
have no wish to war with a whole city for the actions of a few,
we simply withhold the fruits of our labor, as is our right.
