Don't the palisades deserve a chance to win?

I was fully expecting to get sieged when I made a realm and blocked AD/ashes tendrils with it when my claim was a 4 hour siege with only 1 wall.

It's realllll clear to me the reason there's no siege is 'cause ya'll are lazy, and it being as easy /quick enough for you to want it do it would break the game

One of the biggest unbalance problems in the game is that you can be almost invincible behind your palisade the whole world grinding and botting infinitely with no death of industry or chars thus creating stale dis-balance in the game and as one example I can name is your realm's existence which will probably exist until last day of the world even when you have no real fighter foundation for it and it exists solely due to trash siege system.

Yee, siege is impossible

But how are you going to make big realms sieageable without making all noobs vulnerable?

As an addition to previous message:
Claims that have coronation stone in them should be more vulnerable than claims without one.
Vulnerability could scale with realm size or something.

If there was a two month period when siege was not just reasonable, but retardedly easy, and still nobody sieged, then what's the point of making siege more reasonable?

It's like a fat guy saying "if you buy me gym clothes I'll work out for sure", but you you had months to not be fat, and you still didn't workout once. Why spend dev effort on giving you another opportunity to workout when it's clear you won't?

There were other things to do during that period than to siege. Also, initiative for siege was small because everyone was poor and stuff!
