As a rust and ark player making bases posting defenses and investing a lot of time in holding territory from every sort of smacktard on the internet I can empathize with your loss.
But pobs need to die. before they existed discovery was a golden city of light where everyone loved one another and there were no sins or corruption.
But your here now and your going to have to learnt he biggest factor thats going to keep you here is friends and connections. For better or worse if your on your own. the community will seem to be stacked against you merely on the cause you dont know anyone or have any ties with groups. beyond were youve started persay. It would be a better idea not to invest your time in large projects designed for groups of people. I know you dont need friends to build a pob but its the most ideal to have more then one pair of hands. no amount of rule rattling or changing is going to fix it. this place is he way it is because of mellenials and thier crappy pcs and the other half who are too miserable to leave.
you have a hard decision to make. and spit or swallow youll learn this game soon enough.
