How much structure spam should i tollerate before i complain officially?

You probably know the answer by now but JIC, here it is More than likely you put it on an island where claim towers are allowed and someone claimed that area with a claim tower including all buildings within range of said tower. OR you placed it on a settlement island and thats a different story. Short version of advice: don't do that.

A. Lag is caused by the number of objects that have to be communicated. B. in PvE, Objects are place en masse as a defense against grieving. i.e. pillar or floor every 5 meters to keep grievers from building walls around your base / farms / crop plots / traps / lumberyards / shipyards. C. Why is that necessary? because it is the ONLY recourse. i have submitted a ticket against a specific company that is grieving us right now. when i hit submit on the ticket. it instantly changed the status to "solved". D. the fix? for the devs, game masters, or whoever to address the grievers. at least remove the obects that have specifically been placed to cause grief. then the spamming of pillars / floors would not be needed to protect a company's access to their structures.

let companies have their own "zone" to build. even at the cost of a monthly subscription. I'd be happy to pay the going rate if i could zone into my company's private zone and back into the public zones. The threat of PvE would exist everywhere, of course. PvP could exist even on a PvE server. But each player would have to opt into PvP. Similar to other games where players can choose to participate in PvP or not. Personally, i don't PvP, I just want to build and kill the occasional PvE SoD

i hated the claim system. lost one claim because i was gone more than 6 hours. Found another very small spot to claim, lost it the same way. A fix to all of this would be to give us our own territory that only our company could zone into. I would pay a monthly fee for that privilege. I am a hermit at heart but i suck at it. my company has a dozen players. most of them only play a few hours each week. we would be no competition for any large company wanting to take our territory.

If i want to play PvP, i would play on the PvP server. I may give the game another chance. maybe. A. Lost claim in three hours, claim flag gone, all structures gone. Should be allowed only in PvP B. Players overload ships to sink them and then loot them. Should be allowed only in PvP C. Any player can loot a player corpse instantly. Should be allowed only in PvP
