Freeholds

GameLand

Im playing on the EU servers and in almost one day from relese all the freeholds were bought mainly by a couple of large guilds, and so me as part of small/ solo player do not have the chance to even try to test freeholds.
from relese i was on most days and i see a lot of the freeholds that were bought but are not being used, which affects the testing of the freeholds system and the ability for solo or smaller guilds to get resorces as the world of the testing as it is now is small.

I feel like there should be some kind of system for testing purposes that make freeholds ower temporary or/and inactive use of the freeholds will let other buy it again.

Node sieges are supposed to be that system. You gather some people dissatisfied with the current setup, you siege the node, you kick the FH owners out and buy it for yourself (if you manage to).

But, as I see it, guilded players getting FHs faster is itself a test of the system, because that's what will most definitely happen on release. And as another point, a guilded owner of a FH will test it waaaay more extensively than a solo player or someone from a small guild (well, at least when the FH gets proper functionality). Mostly because they'll have all the mats required to build it up asap and then they'll have waaay more mats to churn through the FH processing buildings, because their big guild will simply funnel all their shit to that FH owner.

So while I definitely understand your position and feedback, I'd say it "working as intended" rn.
