Less villagers=Less village authority drain?
I don't know if this is how it works already but it seems that it's near impossible to keep a village claim up as an individual as it drains just way too fast. It's still sort of annoying with 2-3 people but yeah. My thought is that village authority should drain slower the less people there are. I'm sure I can see people abusing that fact but it's just ridiculous right now.
I won't deny the fact that it is possible to do it as a solo guy but it's kinda' tough if it's a fairly new character without full ls gear.
