You are right but as long as your equity is in items used for crafting/building no one should ever lose 1 million logs.
If you lose 1 million logs that means they were worthless to begin with. With a barter system there is no reason to be building up equity. You are only hanging on to what you need. They should be trading it or using it or not collecting it at all.
Losing a weeks worth of logs? Sure, losing 6 months worth of logs? No way that should happen unless some guy just loves collecting logs and never doing anything with them. If that is the case losing a million logs shouldn't be a big deal.
In a barter system equity will be at a minimum.
