So, what's our stance on the subject? I've searched the forum and found few topics with people bitching about pre-fix claimed localized resources, and those people being told to get theft, stop being a pussy, and, overall, to go eff themselves (presumably, by people who have managed to claim quite a lot of LRs).
I'm not very comfortable with the idea of leaving myself vulnerable to murderers just because some game mechanics weren't thought through enough, but I can (and, in appropriate time, will) put some effort into gtting rid of claims over LRs in my vicinity. That is, if the devs are not planning to take any action on this particular unfortunate state of events whatsoever.
The reasonable course of action would be, in my opinion, to disown all claims not meeting the criteria of "not being over a natural resource node", making them belong to noone with all permissions flagged for everyone, so they lose their presence over time but, if someone is using the same claim as a protection for his base, that player will have enough time to move out and reconsider his selfishness.
If this is impossible and/or the developers are planning to leave this as it is, I suggest you consider this as a "critique" topic.

TL;DR claimed localized resources: will there be any fix to this problem or is is up solely to players to clean up this mess?
