Barely anyone goes to First Light, Cutlass, Monarchs, Weavers and Restless cause theres no reason to go there when youre level 60 other than farm provision chest or herbs.
Most of us get house in either Everfall or Windsward. Some of us get a house in reek and ebon just to not spend azoth when we tp there when there is a chest run. Mourningdale is also a good place to get a house since its the fartherst territory and and good place to farm high tier mats needed for craft.
That leaves the rest of the territory no reason to hold on to and maintain. In my server they are in the reds… it cost alot to maintain the territory especially getting downgraded from invasion and few people craft or own a house there. Some territory earn like 2k due to low activity and interest but the tax is above that and company doesnt improve it anymore since it cost around 5k to upgrade the craft stations cause of invasion downgrades it and causing alot of discouragement to improve their territory…
In my opinion, the devs may lower the tax to either 50, 40 or 30% overall and increase the max house a player can have from 3 to 5 or 6 so people will get a house to craft and store or any activity that will benefit the company holding the territory.
