Development on Haven has continued, continues and will continue as per usual, although with the less than weekly updates that you have witnessed for the past four months or so. As soon as Salem is released, we intend to bring the development of Haven back up to normal speed.

How the hell is that relevant in any way to the idea? And I don't see why he couldn't just memorize the owner of the claim.

maybe you get "trolled" because your ideas are poorly written and thought-out

I -sorta- see the point of the "get off my land" now that it's been put into context, but there's a much easier way to do it. The problem was, he was standing on his own claim, and a well-meaning ranger thought he was trespassing (but apparently he couldn't find a scent?). He was unable to prove that he owned the land. Ultimately, this specific point is moot, because if you've memorized someone you can change their name from "???" to something more recognizable. Then when you try and walk onto the land, it will say "This land is owned by ???" or "This land is owned by Girlinhat" or something, instead of the default "This land is owned by someone." Really, less an issue of "I can't prove I own this" and more an issue of "incompetent ranger".

Also, the rest: why? It's cute, sorta, but any game that allows you to make a motion or a sound eventually ends with mass-spamming of that. Not that I have anything against watching people wiggle on the screen while filling the chat bar with "/me dances" 200 times a second because they put it on a hotbar and used a repeating macro. No, that would be good, right? Other games do that, and look how good their player base is!

Beyond that: Chat. Speak. Use your fingers to place words that you've created. It works just as well, and, lo and behold, we already have chat!

How was it "yours" and you not be able to enter the claim? Claim alt?

If that is the case, then technically, it isn't 'yours', even though it's your other character's land. Use a second account for claim alts so you can kin the alt, then set permissions for the claim. You don't have to worry about ANY scents on that claim from any of your characters. If you're going to game the game mechanics, then you should figure out how to do it properly.
