We just had an incident where our tank had popped the TIII VNM, Maere, in Abyssea Grauburg, but we did not realize how far he had wandered, and others were also tracking down the TIII and we were thus scattered as we attempted to find him. Maere only drew in one person; someone who was attempting to unlock a conflux. That person wasn't even in the main party!
We were literally within targeting distance of our tank when he was KO'd by Maere. Because the monster depopped instantly, although we were 1. within aggro range and 2. quite capable of claiming him, we lost both our TIII pop and an hour's worth of labor.
Can you please modify the behavior of the TIII VNM to have shared party hate and draw in the entire party as the person who popped it?
Or at the very least, if the primary claimer dies, have it hang out for ten seconds so the rest of the party has a chance to reclaim? The majority of other NMs, even popped ones, will hang around for a few seconds before disappearing. Maera was gone the second our tank died.
