Alright, one other question. When will totems get removed? I just love a plot of land, which is currently claimed by another tribe. I would definitely take the efford to move everything I have up there.

Few people quit for months and come back to a game expecting all their buildings in an MMO world to be there still. If they were part of an active tribe I could see them expecting them to be there still, but Ive played other games like Shadowbane, Wurm and Darkfall and if a tribe (or clan) left for months they would NOT expect all their cities and lands to be owned by them still.
It is a lot of time, however, I don't see why or how a player or tribe that left for months would believe they would have all their stuff when they got back, even more so when they were told if they did it wouldnt.
The video you linked is griefing, however, its was able to be done because of the person being griefed didn't know how to play and left the logs in a place where they could be taken. This really is not much of a griefing video as it can be easily avoided by putting your stuff in a safe place.
People dont normally quit games for months at a time. The reason so many quit this game for months at a time is because the game was broken, not because they all said "Hey lets take a 5 month break and come back because we are having too much fun".
If the game was fun and working correctly at release you would have seen that people normally dont quit for months at a time its a very small % and most would understand if they didnt have their lands when they got back.
Creating a world doesnt mean the players have to own everything they create. I know Zima has made like 10 tribe areas and left them. Its part of creating the world.
Buildings should have a use and I agree its part of this problem.
