Just a thought, but they have routinely said this is likely temporary, so why the hell are there 7 pages of argument over a bandaid instead of discussion around a more permanent fix such as having to pay upkeep on land you claim? Limited number of claims per player, or some other form of claim system? It seems ludicrous to complain about what they admit is a knee jerk bandaid reaction to the fact that there are literally companies of 1-5 people controlling multiple islands leaving no room for other players to so much as build a drydock in order to build a ship even in a 30% taxed area. I mean let's be blunt, right now with less than half the features in the game, it kind of sucks and is making more money for server hosts than it is for Grapeshot. We all know this is a work in progress so why argue about the bandaid instead of offering player feedback on a preferred system?
