We all know a number of people purposely keep abandoned territories so they can attack anyone who tries to invade the island even if they are not wanting to own the land they are attacking. Now this has caused people to get frustrated and quit the game as they are unable to get tribute. Many people consider it griefing but there is little can be done to stop it.

My suggestion is to make it so if you defend a unowned territory and win, then you are unable to leave that territory until it has been captured. This won't stop the island camping but it will make it harder to do and slow the process down. This won't effect defending territories you own either since you already have them captured. It will make it so if you want to defend a territory the reason will be so that you can take that territory.

That's a nice idea but I am not sure if it would be possible to do. The one forced to claim land can just log out I think.
Another posibility is to make land with no owners undefendable.
I have not logged in that much this era, but it seemed there wasn't too much noob bashing, no?
At least there is no one with 100 defense wins at that point unlike previous eras.

I think they could code it so you are still taking that territory even offline kind of like when you are doing PvE or DG while taking a island if anyone comes to interfere you are automatically kicked off the land since you can't defend. However if that is not possible just forcing them to log out will make it much more of a pain to do and therefore discourage it from happening. Not stopping it but any discouragement would be helpful, as im sure less people would do it if they have to keep re-logging to go do it again.

I would happy with undefendable territories that aren't owned, that would solve it.

Well it sounds like it hasn't been as bad this era (I wouldn't know since I'm brand new myself), but regardless of that people are quitting because of this and with the population of this game being small to begin with anything that can be done to help keep the people we have and keep the new people from quitting would be good. Because one of the people who quit due to this problem had played like several eras before so its not just noobs that are fed up with this.

i think everyone should be able to get lands and tribute but also its a good strategy to hold the lands, and do island camping, its a competition, whats the point if everyone just gets the 6 territories they need and get the tribute? weres the fighting for it? the game is about pvp not getting tribute i think...
but the think that ive noticed is that u can claim a land and then go pvp, so no one can defend the pand... thats kinda sucks... if u go to pvp even if its unranked, u should automatically stop the territory claiming
