Right xinhuan; but the problem is how to distinguish "friendly" land trading from normal land trading; and when we had win:lose before, you had alliances pacting out and not landgrabbing each other at all, and primarily all-explore.... so there needs to be enough win vs lose to make alliances actually attack each other still...
Right, I understand this. That is exactly why I have no issues with the upcoming C:C DR that is being introduced next reset, because it is a good step towards this problem, but is probably insufficient to prevent in-house farming when it involves a larger amount of countries (for example, in FFA, you can still farm yourself for 75 hits round-robin before C:C DR kicks in hard).
This is also why LaF has been warring for land (up until the recent resets involving all-set-long-wars), it is that much better.
Reducing ghost acres in general would fix the land-trade problem, and might actually cause more wars to happen, since GDI farming and DR camping strategies will no longer be as effective in the coming resets.
