Re: Why do I need battlespikes to open a mount grave?

logistics...
Thats supposed to be 100's of hours of work being transported in a convoy/caravan.
So the battlespike part is to make sure a random group roaming cant take all the shit instantly.
You'd have to get spikes...which gives the caravan time to buy gear at the local market to fight you again.
Ofc, with current pop its just annoying...but
It's not just annoying because of population. It's annoying because it's inconsistent. If you kill a guy and mount lives you can open it without the need of battlespikes. When you kill the mount, you suddenly need battlespikes. This is stupid.
It should allow you to tame the mount, but then the chest should drop from it. That requires battlespikes to break in.
Or
make chest accessible just like someones mount is when it's still alive. This or that, not a mix of two. Simple logic.
Now it makes no sense. As is said - it's inconsistent.
