I believe there should be land claiming in survival for the more... less worthy. As people who want to build would most likely want to feel the comfort of knowing they wont be griefed, thus in my opinion more players. Also not everyone in the world wont grief, there are some mischievous people out there willing to do anything to get their hands on destroying others builds.
I agree. You'd think that 2 sky islands are tougher to grief, but some people just take time out of their day to grief >_>. Oh and, not to mention, don't really want top create a town for protections, and asking staff every single time I get griefed.
Yeah, i understand people who want to build alone, don't want to make a town. That's why i'm accepting suggestions for alternatives.
If land claiming was implemented, new problems may arise, like maybe people overclaiming others' builds.
I understand your point, but it would be nice if we had land claiming. We had less over claiming problems than single griefs. I had around 6 griefs perhaps on my builds. I can't imagine how many griefs others have had.
... You are referring here to our Survival server correct? The server which provides TOWNY for protection services? This plugin is available to all players, and puts a cost onto the protection. I am aware at the moment there are several issues with towny, however when we get our update to 1.8 we should be able to resolve all of these problems. There is no need to run multiple protections together, and it can cause severe problems having two user-operated plugins used together. "Grief Prevention" is a common one used, yes, however it is not very efficient, and does not allow most of the features which Towny does provide. If other plugins would be considered, there are many superior plugins such as Residence, Landlord, and even solutions available through the use of worldguard.
