I have recently returned to Ark after a short break, and boy was I in for a shock.
My first impression of the Island was GREAT! There it is, in all it's glory. Until it came time to place my first foundation: the defining moment where one stakes his claim to his own piece of Ark real-estate - [ ! Can't place wood foundation: Too close to enemy foundation or gate. ]
It soon dawned on me that there were pillar cities stretched far and wide with very little room for anyone new to join in. A stark reminder of what was, and still is. Excruciating, dread and sometimes, with a bit of luck, Fun!
These little setbacks are anything but new,
However, should it continue to be a thing that goes unpunished? Perhaps not.
Anyway, the point to make is that there are still those who think it funny to troll by way of tactic on PVE servers.
