You can just get it in other kingdoms, global competition, CvC... KvK.. JoT.. you will get it! Stop being so impatient and crying to Admin to fix everything you cant do.. oh oh I cant do this, the game must be broke, someone fix it so I can do it.. grow up !!!! 

It's happened in every kingdom for every event since the achievement was announced. CVC, kvk/r, fury. One Kingdom had a level 5 town squatting there.

@Admin - Your idea does not work on the central tile. There is no way to build a SH there to exile.  Some players are sitting there with long shields on. In some kingdoms players were already there.  That tile is essentially blocked forever.  You should allow the holder of PoP in guarded status to clear any Pioneer tile.  That should liven up the competition for PoP a bit. 

Hello, frigga!

As we said earlier, any player could place their town at any free spot on the World Map. We understand your situation however we can't perform any actions in regards to an account without the player's consent. You can move your Town to these coordinates during the global Competitions while being in other Kingdoms or contact the player using the in-game mail. 

If you notice that such players violate the Terms of Use, please let us know and send screenshots where the violation would be visible so we could investigate it.

Dear Jarls, notice, please, that all suggestions and ideas about this situation from the topic were forwarded to our specialists. Thank you! 

Have a nice day!

Once again, we have a lvl 1 town that was just created squatting on 256:517 in kd 798.

A simple solution would be for Plarium to designate new coordinates for the levels - maybe at frequent intervals if needed: we have a level 5 blocking one for the past 4 weeks or more, and shielded until 2025 !

ie Ivar said " We understand your situation however we can't perform any actions in regards to an account without the player's consent." and he wouldn't need the player's consent to change the coordinates of the rewards.

You are right , they wouldn't need permission to move the coordinates, however  this would mean a lot of expensive searching for them, which has already been done, and would there be any incentive for the players that found them before ,the ones that already have got the awards to do this?

Greetings!

Any player could place their town at any free spot on the World Map. We understand your situation however we can't perform any actions in regards to an account without the player's consent.

If you want to move your Town to this specific location you can try to do the following:

1. Build the Clan's Stronghold and exile the Town of the player using the Supreme Thing.

2. Move your Town to these coordinates during the global Competitions while being in other Kingdoms.

3. Contact the player using the in-game mail.

If you notice that such players violate the Terms of Use, please let us know and send screenshots where the violation would be visible so we could investigate it.

We wish you success in your quest for achievements!

Ivar: all the above suggestions don't work when the player blocking the tile also has the stronghold, has a shield until 2025 and simply doesn't log back in for several weeks.

how long do we need to stay minimum at a pioneer spot for achievement upgrade - pioneer seven

You have lost the last update...now you have to have a palace of a certain level to each level of the achievement.... To every achievement to be exact....

This has far surpassed PAY_to_WIN, this is actually PAY_to_PLAY....

I agree that moving the co-ordinates from time to time is a good idea. 

At the very least it will deter people from building strongholds for the purpose of controlling the Pioneer tile.  Although I think there might be other benefits also.
