Pclaims are too easy to grief with

[vatas]

To be hopefully bit more clear, the effective "age" of the Vclaim is based on when the relevant Banner was built, not when the Idol was constructed or activated. I'm not sure if Pclaim's age only counts from when it becomes active.

But anyway, if you notice a troll claim and cover it with a Banner, you now need to wait 9 times whatever the age of the Pclaim is. Even if your response time was a reasonable 24 (IRL) hours, this still means 9 (IRL) days.

Even if your response time was a reasonable 24 (IRL) hours, this still means 9 (IRL) days.

And if it wasn't or let's say it was early claim so you can't afford banners up to there yet it gets super fucked. If you leave a claim up without overlap for 10 days (just arbitrary number for the sake of argument), it's ~90 days (half the runtime of the 6 month reset servers) until you can bonk it.
Realistically claims are super annoying to deal with, dry in 8h, you can absolutely get a claim up in the vicinity of someone's village if you know their main timezones and just place it a bit away (if you make it so they cannot banner over it in 2 days you get 18 days of claim). A personal claim placement in the vicinity (idk, like 2 grids around?) should give alarm to the village claim same as siege engine, and i've suggested this before.
Also another issue with this whole thing is that you can place the claim pretty fucking far away and just snake it up to the place you want to claim, arguably maybe claim tiles should be adjusted in a way that makes it so going mostly in just a single direction costs exponentially more than just claiming all around but that would make a strategic place of pclaim and its expansion kinda min-max retarded (claiming same area could be more or less expensive depending on what tiles you claim first). So that's probably not an option.
