Realms spread like an plague

are you polish or smth

LOL

realm buffs suck ass, the average player should be able to interact with realms a bit more.

Realm chat being auto selected when logging in is cancer.

Yeah I agree. I have a difficult time understanding what the thought process was regarding the changes to realm extension. It was already so easy in the past to extend and yet for some reason they made it even easier. Huge areas of land get covered with extremely minimal effort simply by using an alt to build one object beside a Thingwall. Stupid mechanic is stupid, not even able to close the realm chat.

thingwalls are a gift to factions and nobody else

hurr

kinda ironic considering every faction hates having to interact with this shit and would much rather have it removed from the game.

Do they? I know SnuggleSnail and company hate it, but I don't super often see other factions comment on it.

There's like 7 people who don't PVP spread across the major factions who hard simp for realms because they like the concept of being at the top of some LARP hierarchy, or because they theoretically want (but don't actually do) community management bullshit. These people don't actually directly interact with realms, tho.

I can pretty much guarantee every actual PVPer who interacts with realms either does not care about them at all and fighting over the flag is the same to them as fighting over calling people faggot @ their walls, or absolutely hates them. Nobody actually likes them who interacts with them.

I think there's a few exceptions, like Zunzon, (you), Freedom people, Big Trucks who make realms in the middle of nowhere or after fighting stops who get to just passively expand with no opposition who might like it - but I think they would not if they got to interact with it as it's intended instead of unopposed.

Realms bad. Good thing they're nearly irrelevant now

Don't worry, I'm not a fan either, although I still think the concept can work. But right now it doesn't achieve the larp interaction between people inside the realm I want.

We have actually been fighting occasionally with a neighbouring baby realm. Bumfights have been funny overall, but neither side is super dedicated to actually interrupting flags so it hasn't been a complete pain in the ass.

Could be solved by realm claims needing fuel from time to time, possibly through a similar mechanic as an Ancestral Shrine.

Then either the rulers manage to convince, whatever way, the peasants to perform the chores of fueling them - or have to do it themselves.
Would somewhat limiting realms growing like the cancer the OP perceives them as.
