I don't want land in a war zone worse than Syria. I am simply pointing out that when you go to certain areas one person owns 4+ buildings and sometimes they are even for sale because they know they can profit off the land they took. If they are building buildings for the only intention to sell it to force someone to pay to use the land, that is extortion. Something should be done to prevent this kind of land stealing so the player can own the means of production and not be forced to purchase the things they could normally farm by themselves.
Land stealing? You’re a joke. When a player does not pay their taxes, the land demos and gives others opportunities to take said plot. Some utilize the plot, and some sell it. That’s an economy. There is a lot of land demoing out there, and there is a lot of empty plots out there - such as, Windscour. The players who beat you to placing the land didn’t “steal” it. And it is not extortion. Man, you sound so entitled, it is embarrassing.
It has been stated already but I’ll say it once more - you are just mad that you cannot have land wherever you want, hence your Syria comment. Players spend a lot of time running around looking for demolitions, spend a lot of laborto make taxes, or spend a lot of gold to buy taxes, so they may have their lands where they want. Or, they purchase it off of someone else.
You are not trying hard enough if you cannot find land. Or, you’re antisocial and not joining a guild who provides open lands for their members. You are not entitled to having land, nor should it be evenly distributed. All this cheap talk about extortion and capitalism is just you throwing around “big words” without understanding how the economy of our game works.
Go plant your cows publicly on a mountain if you want a nice view. Or, stop being a lazy jerk and actually work for your land that some players fought for, stayed up late for, or paid for.
