I am generally not one to go to a safety location in a fight, if you could see the number of times I have died you would not dispute it, but I think there is need for safety locations.
But I think there is some reason to have a safety location available to youngsters and to people who are using lessons.
Players that are new to the land are often easy targets in the first place, and safety locations give them a comfy place to talk to others about the ways of Avalon, and to go over the skills they have just learned.
On the other hand though, there are some who sit in safety and chat about upcoming midterms, only to come out for a bash or a ritual.
I certainly dont have the answer, but the abolition of safe, quiet places is not it.
