The land claiming in PVE , needs to be changed . If you were late or new player , its really hard to get any land cause every place is taken over and i mean by 1 player thats placed flags all over the island. You ask for land they either dont respond or reject you. Even if they will not build on it others cant have it . And now with the flag defence by only running into the take over area you can defend it people are even worse. Heck only reason i managed to get any land was cause i went for the farthest and smallest island on a grid and even that was all claimed with 0 buildings on it. And why i got it was cause it took the guy 1 hr to travel to it from another island , they had claimed the whole server with only 3 players amd even then came to "defend" the land . Anyways there need to be like 1-2 claiming flags per player at least on the PVE servers cause this is just getting really stupid. And its not only me most times i travel through a grid people are comlaining about it.
