Fairly certain he was talking about going and trading with someone. People are open to trade deals all over the place. Probably not with you though...

I'm not saying it's only Chinese. Earlier they were elsewhere hitting some dudes who were on wolves. CSTG surrounded them and spammed the invite to company button

Proof as requested. This streamer uses full company invite exploit to crash player's game sessions: https://www.douyu.com/71415

I think the major problem with CSTG is that they openly exploit. There is currently a bug in game that if you have a full company and invite someone, it crashes that person's game session. So currently a bunch of CSTG players are going around spamming invites on people so they can't defend themselves

If I were a solo player, I would not expect to be able to claim land. Additionally, anyone that disagrees with your point of view isn't a troll. Throwing insults is childish. Why come to the forums if you don't want people to give their opinion?

The claim system (while still flawed) was fundamentally designed to counter act what you are trying to do. A solo player should not be able to hold 14 claims ever. I'm honestly surprised you still have 3. It's not griefing, it's a mechanic. From the description of the game in steam, "Stake your claim in this endless open world as you conquer territory". I understand that you are let down by the fact that you lost most of your claims but honestly, as a solo player you should really think about consolidating.

The patch in 10.0 will likely help. It will allow the smaller groups to settle the lands of the larger companies while paying them taxes. Should be a win-win and the larger companies will be more inclined to not KOS

Reporting System: I agree with a reporting system for cheaters/hackers. Griefing though is a tough one in this game. With piracy being the theme of this game, the system will get floods of reports of people upset that their ship and stuff was stolen by a larger group. Land Claims: I think with the upcoming changes to claim flags in 10.0 it resolves most of the issues. Allowing smaller groups who are unable to defend claims to build up while paying taxes seems like a fair solution. This game is multi-faceted and each player will not be able to do everything. Claiming land is not something a solo farmer should be able to do imo, this should be left to the larger groups who allow smaller ones to settle their lands.

130 hours means that you paid roughly $0.19 per hour to play. Sounds like you got your moneys worth. The devs stated that they intend to add much more content. Be gone troll

You are super upset that they are using ark assets it seems. The game is what you make of it. Ark had dino's which made me dislike it. I'm into it, even though the engine and assets for the most part are reused. This game does have different mechanics though, which make it a different game.

Yeah. You have to unlock the shipbuilding skill tree which is in the construction line. From there, you build a "Tiny Shipyard"
