I had a whole (small) island with my company, wasn't looking for more lands to own because they were no interest to do so. In the other hand, I was for a wipe too, so no, I am not someone lazy to look for lands, nor wanted a area someone else owns. The wipe is necessary tho, as long as the maps will drastically change.
The only thing that saddens me is the deletion of claims in PvE (or even if claims still existed, the fact that this does not protect anymore from griefers building around your base or on ressource spots...)
If the devs keeps on their way about this, i'm not gonna play anymore.
