After spending an enormous amount of time on a few pve official servers and not being able to even place a campfire, I have come here to beg for changes.
I play Atlas and for a while we played with a Claim Flag system that would work great in Ark.
Each survivor who wakes up on a map would have a claim flag in his/her inventory. Each claim flag would be a certain size, maybe around a 10 to 20 foundation radius. You place your claim flag down and that is the only area you are allowed to build in.
As you add tribe members, your area grows because each person in your tribe adds another claim flag radius.
A person cannot put down pillars anywhere except in his/her area so pillaring would come to a stop. There might be an invisible barrier around your area that would keep others from building too close to you.
If people build in important areas, they will be hurting themselves and probably won't do that, once they figure out how it works.
A system might be worked out that if you pick up your claim flag, everything in it can be picked up so that your base could be moved as you grow out of an easy beach area and want to move to somewhere more dangerous. There is a modder who has created an amazing mod that is doing something similar so I know it can be done.
My dream is that some day all people will be able to build on an ark pve official server and not just a privileged few.
I think it would be great if the devs tried this on a few servers and see if it could work. It sure wouldn't hurt to try.

Remove Pillaring FOREVER!
