Remove wrecking ball timer for claim owner

Please consider implementing this. Will make renovations easier. If you own the claim token you should be able to instantly wreck it.

Second this! It really feels like you cannot afford to mess up your base at any stage, lest you are stuck with your mistakes for basically forever if you don't want to waste days fixing.

Any such mechanic could be used against players and bring more trouble than solve.

This would raise the required trust to live on a shared Claim from "High" to "Absolute." Currently you can have your own Palisade with your own keys to not instantly lose everything if the Claim owner decides to backstab you. If OP suggestion was implemented, Claim Owner could instantly Wreck the personal plot walls.

While a proper "plot" within a Village should have its own Personal Claim, there's this little thing called "Revoke the Privilege!" available to the Village's "claim owner."

It is a serious problem, but the proposed solution would create other problems.

Grown ass adults you've trusted and considered very good friends will turn into absolute scumbags over night just to grief you for absolutely no reason whatsoever after you've never done anything wrong to them.
So keep that in mind when you want to put your hours/days/weeks of progress into somebody else's hands and give them a very easy way to ruin all of it.

just let ONLY the owner bash with sleedgehammer or w/e their own wall, since you cant steal/study claim bond anymore, this feature doesnt seems to be a huge problem, its probably the fix for this specific scenario where you need to bash ur pali/bwall to make some expansion or just get rid of that to do a makeover in the village design.
If someone bashs it, its probably cuz you gave the claim owner to someone else ofc (: so.. it doesnt look a problem or risk at all imo.

Also I hate the fact that we need to wait 24h to bash and still get the lucky to cascade more than 3 tiles, sometimes it just break one and thats it, another 24h waiting unless we spam zillion wrecking balls around.

btw hopefully we get a QoL change about that topic in the next 50 years! ¦]
