Passive Route/ End Game Apex Material Conflict

This is a feature request to resolve a somewhat "passive path" conflict the game has placed on players who go this route (the offering). In the early to mid-game we are met with certain creatures that are seemingly passive and our interaction with them is non threatening due to the fact we choose to go passive routes as players (exchanging gifts and basically befriending them). But the end game requires we then turn around and kill those same creatures we chose to have a peaceful exchange with (unpleasant/triggering to say the least). The main problem are the materials sourced from the creatures in the end are extremely valuable for creating the "best" clothing and weapons in the game, placing the passive player who doesn't want to kill those creatures at a very large disadvantage. If there were alternative creatures providing similar materials (creatures that were aggressive/predators from the start) OR a way to purchase their materials from a Trader to simply "not" have to kill them (Carnutes and SunGiant mats for example), this would at least give the passive player an option to play at a competitive level with those who chose the aggressive path. I know this has created a conflict and discouraged people I've played with up to The Watch. They no longer feel the desire to play or compete. I love the game and hope there will be some solution for the passive player path as I'd hate to quit due to unfair disadvantages given to the aggressive path. I just don't see a way around it unless I use lower level mats to craft and that isn't very fun. Thanks for any help regarding this. It's a beautiful game and I'm really hopeful it can be resolved because I've seen the Devs listen! Thank you!
