Originally posted by Mithyk:Pillars are more often used by experienced players to set up a defensive perimeter around a tribe's base - so others can't fence them in or cripple their ability to complete their base. if u have any questions, feel free to ask. If u play at an unoffial server, find a nice admin team wich also bans them :D If u get ur own server, ban ppl wich do pillar spam Originally posted by Hyybrid:I'm certain that this has probably been brought up before but I'm bringing it up again because there doesn't seem to be anything being done to route this problem which is now officially an issue.ĭont play at offical servers then, get ur own or play at unoffical pve servers. There needs to be a system that will force lone pillars or foundations to be destroyed on PvE servers, be it automatically or manually by a 3rd party. It's created a very negative dynamic on PvE and it really needs to be addressed. New players come in daily complaining about the lack of building spaces due to the pillar abuse and people get into arguments constantly while begging for pillars to be removed by the owners.

Some people do it just to spite/troll other people and new players and then other do it pre-emptively to make sure they have some room to build and it spreads very quickly all over the island. Anyone who wants to can make it so that no one else can play on a PvE server. It's putting an incredible amount of power into anyone's hands for almost no cost and, obviously, people can't be trusted with this kind of power. On PvE, however, the pillars are invincible and cheap to build. On PVP servers, this isn't really an issue because players can destroy whatever pillars might be halting their ability to play. People place pillars all over the place and it blocks new players from building anywhere but it's also used to 'fence' other players in and stop them from building or expanding as well. I'm certain that this has probably been brought up before but I'm bringing it up again because there doesn't seem to be anything being done to route this problem which is now officially an issue.
