Neutral claim building- what a f*ing joke

[CamsterAu 16]

So not having been able to find land to claim on na pve, I had started building on a claim that allowed neutral building. I come back today to see that all my progress now belonged to someone else, that had claimed the land in the day that I had been away.

How is this in anyway fair? I could understand this if it was actually my claim, but no! Even if your building on neutral land, your shit belongs to anyone that manages to take the claim from under the land owner.

Yeah, that's how the claim system works.  Has nothing to do with it being a neutral claim.

If you would have logged off in that claim, they wouldn't be able to take it.  

If it's PVE, you could have checked the upkeep timer and claimed it yourself if you could.
