I would like to see beacons in the wild purely for beauty. I don't mind that they offer a boast, and if they didn't it still wouldn't be a deal breaker. I just want to be able to see my wild home with that shiney blaze of light reaching the for the stars.
"Beacon, oh beacon, where for art thou thy beacon. Deny thy wild and refuse thy claim."

I agree with this. I would like to have a beacon with an upcoming build i have planned, not for the buffs, but for the light. Actually, as I type this, I realize I never tried to set up a beacon in the wild to see if the beacon would light up without the buffs. They will light up with no buffs in the wild...Has anybody tried this? (I know what I will be doing next time I log in.).
mrfloris, you posted while I was doing my post. now I see that the beacon will not light up.
Looking at the live map, with the exception of the area immediately around spawn, players have spread themselves out so that a beacon on one players plot won't affect another player. Where players are close enough so beacons affect another player, those players are playing together (the area around wild spawn being an unknown for this conclusion). If beacons are allowed in the wild, those around spawn would have to deal with the change like city dwellers deal with early morning traffic waking them up. Not saying if that is good or bad, just saying.
