Farming at Connectivity

Title of Suggestion: Farming at Connectivity

Description
Re-enable farming at Connectivity Wilderness

Why?
In a recent change, Kingstone had revoked the ability to place farming equipment at Connectivity, which I believe is not the right way.

Farming was and still is a passive, legal and peaceful way to make money. Therefore it's not breaking the rule 7.1 Crime in Public, as many other methods would do.

Also farming there was allowed on the previous v5p map as well. I do not argue about farming in the city itself, which would be a little out of place, indeed, but I don't see a real reason why farming in a wilderness section of Connectivity Roads should not be allowed.

Only there it is possible to hang around completely without the need of immediate protection against raiders to do little events and farm as well. After all, plants cannot be destroyed, taken or in any other way harmed by raiders, which further lets me question the newest change.

+Support I do believe that disallowing people to farm on connectivity was a bad decision, as Mega said farming is a passive and legal way of making money. Connectivity road was the only place for people to do this without being pushed into aggressiveRP (being mugged, raided and kidnapped etc...) which not everyone wishes to be apart of. Plus farming on connectivity allowed people to make money and still have that ability to socialise and interact with others since a lot of people pass through connectivity all the time, now people are going to be further spread apart from the main city leading to less interaction.

+Support I believe this was a bad decision, I feel like we are being forced to do aggressiveRP, which is not fun for everyone. It also kills a nice peaceful farming sport where players can interact with each other. Now everyone will just farming somewhere in their garden, where they are not able to socialise with other players. This will kill the passiveRP!!

Connectivity isn't allowed due to it being a public area, this is under the same reasoning as the city being banned. There are a lot of other places you can go farm at, you're not being forced into anything. It wasn't added for this map as we forgot about it until recently.

What is the reason behind farming being banned there? Is it not a "public" way to make money?
Sure, setting up plots on the streets, sidewalk, etc seems reasonable to be banned. But an otherwise unused wilderness part of a public area? In my eyes that doesn't make much sense.

Now the city I think everyone understands since farmplots being placed down on the pavement etc... wouldn't exactly be ideal. But for connectivity it makes absolutley no sense to ban it there, everything was perfectly fine during the very long period of time this was not implimented. It's a public area yes, but farming is a passive way to make money unlike contraband and weed. 

And yes people are kind of being pushed more into aggressiveRP now every area people can farm also puts them at risk of being robbed, raided or kidnapped. Connectivity was literally the only spot people could farm in peace remaining 100% passive, whilst also still being able to have a lot of non-aggressive player interaction. 

I believe a decision like this should be voted on by everyone and I think I speak for a lot more people in saying that.

I know that there will be an issue with AggroRP and farmers, but from realistic perspective and for the sake of roleplay, farming is not something to be done right outside the city, next to public gas station. Farming is something to be done either behind a house (in smaller quantities) or in farm areas (for larger quantities), depending on the background and atmosphere of the character or their roleplay.

Regarding the socialization with the rest of the players, you just go out to the city and talk to them, visit those desperate restaurant or fast food owners. You don't stand next to watermelons 24/7 and wait for someone to drive by. Banning farming in connectivity area mainly encourages players to populate the entirety of the map, since roughly half of players on average day stay inside the city.
