@Ciaran @Neo Not sure if this has been found or implemented but this seems to be one of the bugs that slipped through with the release.
Might not help but it's what I stumbled upon.
Could there be extra traders/small blue zones placed around the map? Obviously none of the large traders so no vehicles can be bought or sold but places where you can gear up, grab food and drink after running 10km but the distances between each trader is insane, especially considering the size...

So, after some thought and reading through the Exile forum and other threads elsewhere I've come up up with an idea that may or may not be possible and may or may not be liked. Neo mentioned the idea of a possible New Life Rule and although it'd be nice to have something like that on the server...
