I see it as 32 chances to get one jerk who ruins the fun for everybody else. With today's odds you'll probably get more than one. I agree with Danson.

People who play with randos are already on here griping about how the experience goes wrong.

I also see it as the devs getting pulled into an endless battle of trying to mold the game into something that makes such a game-mode work successfully, a battle that can't be won because griefers, hackers and cheaters have unlimited resources and no rules.

But if I put on my rose colored glasses, it looks wonderful. Full of viking towns, forts and castles inhabited by vikings in families and tribes, with their own personal businesses bartering goods with each other. Skirmishes in bars over who's beard is the prettiest, only to be resolved by deciding to go Viking together and see who gets the biggest troll head. All in a perfect Valheim world, completely impenetrable by real world malicious intent.
