From what you have described, I’d be inclined to agree with you.

Fastest way to get good gear, is to steal it from others, just as true on PvE as it is on PvP. Most likely your culprits were lower level players just starting out, looking for a quick boost.

Help tackling a world boss to get a legendary key? Great! Get some half-decent armour / weapons to boot? No brainer!

I can understand you being annoyed at all of this, but honestly, I highly doubt any of this was ‘targeting’ you or was personal in any way, your base was just conveniently there.

(Either that, or someone simply felt like griefing you!)

Just one of the aspects of playing on official servers you have to accept and be aware of when you build your bases, PvE or PvP.

You might well be very respectful of other’s builds, but not everyone plays the same way as you.

Also, as others have pointed out, you have built a base on or near quite a major landmark, so you will have to accept foot traffic for two major reasons:

  1. A water source, which naturally because of its location will always attract other players, simply to replenish their water supply.
  2. A world boss

So, in future, if you want to minimise the risk of other human interference near your bases, avoid building in these types of areas!
Wells are great alternative to water sources, and using them allows you to build in areas you might have written off as uninhabitable before, and now with teleportation via sorcery, you don’t even need to be near an obelisk!

There are some great places to build ‘off the beaten path’ across the map, if it were me, I’d take this as a teachable moment, heh, and build somewhere less convenient for others.

Even with higher walls, and a base redesign, expect more incidents like this to occur in the future, it’s human nature to take advantage of a useful ‘opportunity’ when it arises.
Honestly I’m surprised this hasn’t happened to you sooner :smile:

Good luck
