As the title says I dont understand wtf im doing at faction wars and I end up losing money every God damn time.

Bandit wars happen i join the event they run around capping points then we run into the enemy zerg we all die. Lost about 50k in gear gained maybe 2k faction points. Rinse and repeat the rest of the event which is now basically done ive lost 200k in gear and made just under 3k faction points wtf am I doing wrong?

I'd love to try and get into pvp but as it stands im better off gathering in blue zones as atleast there im not losing money and wasting my time.

So i just started playing with the release on xbox and was going to start trying to train up my refining and crafting skills but I look around the city and there is only one type of refinery. Literally 40 different smelters with 0 other refinery types and I just dont understand are people expected to only refine one resource per city?

How can a new player be expefted to interact with the crafting system if you gotta spend hours walking between cities before you can even refine a resource let alone actually get into crafting.

If i want to be a crafter do i need to delete the farms on my island and replace them with refining nodes?

Edit. Just rememberd there's full refining stations on starter map just after the tutorial. I assume id be missing on the bonuses but better then spending 15 mins one way to get to another city.
