Why Do You Loose Claim On Abyssea Mobs If Everyone Is Not Dead?

If the BLU was the last person to get a swing at it before he vanished from the game, yes, it will go white for a second. Your WAR should have pulled it out of range from the BLU.

Was it really necessary to post this in 2 almost identical threads?

Bio II, Bind, Poison II, get a few ticks of MP while the last 2-3% of the monster tick away so you can extend your chain further. I'd hope I'm not the only person who figured that out.

Couple of nukes and a drain and puddings were dead, I didn't have problems with chains. But then I tended to only EXP out there on Ice and Thundersday. On the contrary I see Bind, Bio and Poison as a waste of MP.

Wrong. In addition to the DoTs Byrth mentioned, a lot of BLMs liked to cast Burn on the puddings. Or claim them with Bio when competition was around.

Why not DoT them when attempting to sleep them was generally a waste of time and MP?

Claimed with gravity or stun myself if there was a rush. And yeah as mentioned, sleeping them worked more often than not if you were in a pinch.

If you guys are going to sit and here and tell me there is not a problem then I don't know what else to say. This is an issue and it needs to be fixed.

People have already explained a dozen or two times how the claim system in FFXI works. If you refuse to read that and take proper (simple, easy) actions to maintain your claim, don't come crying in here when you lose it.

And yes it is just as rude to take 2 hours to kill a mob when there are other people wanting to fight it.

The nerve of some people, not having all the best atmas. Tsk Tsk.

With the 2hr thing too, POIDH.

Razed Ruins, Gnarled Horn, Minikin Monstrosity, and 1 boss win + 100k Cruor are so impossibly hard to get for anyone ever.

Because I said getting them was hard?

It's almost as if players aren't returning to the game with NFI about Abyss too...not that people don't want to learn.
