Assuming better anti-player defenses than wards, yes. As-is a player can vaporize any base in moments.

How is this a bug ? Seems intended to me

'Fix' is a loaded term here. It's a co-op game that assumes everyone's equally responsible for all buildings, which includes not leading aggro monsters into them.

Wards are mildly helpful but the only real defenses are large earthworks, regular backups and a competent, trustworthy group.

@op You and your friends need to make defences for all of your Main bases. Make sure they are walled off and dig a ditch or a moat around them.

Building entirely offshore or on a small island/peninsula is also good. Plains pillar bases are best.

trolls should attack whatever the hell they want to. i don't understand what you want from them

if a person is in the same 'loaded section' of the map as the enemy, they will activate/spawn and attack what they find. If you are in your friend's map segment, it really should fall to you to defend their base. Or have a communal base. Or make sure you are all far apart and stay away from each other. Or build your bases to be unreachable. The long and the short of it is: you can work around the issue, if you want to talk out how best to approach it with your group. Whether there should be a better mechanic in the game for this --- there is a suggestions page over there ->
but I am not going to get into the what ifs, just the what-is.

Use a ward to help a liitle in that, and as shake said , offline players buildings will not become some kinds of "invencible" structures to not being attacked , thats a thing that maybe u imagined from other place not in valheim
Monsters only attack if a player are close to the structures

It's been a long time since hopping into the game and we were thinking of starting a server again. One huge thing that bugged us: If a player was online and doing stuff around an offline player's base, a troll or something would appear and start attacking that offline player's base. It was my biggest problem with the game at the time, probably a year ago or so. Has this been fixed yet?

No, but what kind of fix are you expecting? If you have this issue, just build your bases far apart and connect then with portals.

I mean that's not really a fix. Like at all

Thanks for the update though, good to know. Maybe one day

The game does not check one's "property" (if you ignore the small statuette, but this has another function).

From the perspective of the game, all things player-built are player-built and not tied to any player personally. This is not a bug.
