Ok so we have gone a little off track, I asked for suggestions on how we could avoid the issue of grief, and the only answer I got was tree regeneration. Again, this is for the RPG plugin, so I thought that bending an entire tree would be a lot more accurate than to pull a full torrent or surge out of a tiny leave(or log as someone suggestion) block. I believe it should use the entire tree.
Possibly you could suggest another way for a water bending to gain a source? Because from your perspective on this, it is entirely accurate to the show. Put the water bending player in the show, how would they survive? The lack of water is not to "debuff" the element, but to give waterbenders the mindset of a roleplaying aspect. They could ask themselves, where can I set up my house in order for me to bend easily? How can I transport water to protect myself? Etc.
Also, about Hama bending the trees, she bent two trees so both water contained in the trees was probably more than enough for a torrent and a thin surge. One tree could substantially give a waterbender a reasonable sized torrent to manipulate and fight with.
I agree what do you suggest however on how this could be improved? Flower and plant regeneration after a set amount of time? I believe this is already in effect in the plugin's current state, correct me if I am wrong (Enabled in the configuration file?).
Just...
....
So what I want to project to you guys is that if a waterbender were be put into show with the instance of not many sources(Lets not water vapor in the air for now...), what would they do or how could they get their source. Or would they just be out of luck, as some waterbenders were in some cases in the show. This is not to make any other more powerful or to dominate another, but if the instance came of no sources we need to think logically instead of making each element fair against another in every circumstance.
Thank you for posting your suggestions, I hope you take mine into consideration. Also if you are going to post why you do or do not like a suggestion, please refer to why you do not instead of just replying with no initial thought or consideration, thank you.
