Well I was excited for this patch but the sudden change to even worse PvE claim system than the current one makes me pretty much for sure not coming back to the official servers after the wipe.
If you want PvE claims then they have to be contestable by declaring war and if you want them to be safe then people shouldn't be able to claim an entire island in one go. Especially if they can leverage the absurd taxes. If you are worried about blocking off rare resources that is easily fixed with just having those resources act as foundations blocking off building near them.
This all it did on Lawless islands when it was reduced was resulting in even more pillar spam on the islands.
