the smither should be the person with high smithing and str skills. not just anyone who feels like using up the ore and bars. there should only be 1 hammer for the village. its replaced as you make higher level hammers, and only the 1 or 2 smithers would pull it from storage when hes the one online and needs to make something.
giving everyone every item, having everyone have their own skill yards and plots, and allowing everyone to craft and harvest anything they see at any time
= fail village
quality control is everyones job
to many villages dive into the novelty of having a mine. every player is the miner. half of them have full nature.
then they all want to smelt and hammer crap. because they totally have the skills... waste of ore and time and LP
