Is the caravan system even worth it?

If Steven didn't copy this part of the system from L2 I'd be somewhat disappointed. Mainly because it brings the biggest abuse of the system and destroys any and all "risk vs reward" part of the encounter. Just getting flagged for getting a person's-worth of resources from killing a mule would give you all the reward with none of the risk. I see no way where killing mules doesn't give you corruption.

But on the off chance it doesn't, I'm gonna be PKing every single mule in alpha2 just to show Intrepid that the system is beyond flawed.
