KI-popped-NM Stealing

Maybe this was said on one of the previous pages but I didn't really bother to read through them. XD If a ZNM goes unclaimed and claimed by another outside of your pt if you go within a certain range of that ZNM it will turn red and become your NM again. (This happened 3x in a row with cheese hoarder one particular day) It was pretty awesome and I don't see why that would be a bad system to put in place for other such pop NMs. The coding for it is already there it seems like it would be a simple adjustment in a version update.

My thread is talking about the same thing. You do realize sobek requires 3 ki to farm to pop him right? And it can take longer then a rani ki farm.

2. If you repeatedly keep losing claim because you die or otherwise screw up - seriously, suck less.

3. If there really is a glitch that makes mobs randomly go unclaimed for no reason at all, it can't be happening very often because otherwise there would be 4237647625 forum members SCREAMING about it on this forum.

There's two threads with over 60 post each about the same situation. I think this qualifies.

Nah, apparently there are just that many uninformed players that post on these boards.

Players that wipe too often, it seems.

There are two threads made by 2 different people basically whining about losing claim on NMs, and a handful of people in both threads agreeing with them. It's not like there are 60+ replies to both threads made by people who all have experienced a mob going unclaimed for no reason.

Either way, by forcing a 10 minute time limit, you just limit different procs
For those of us who don't have all that, 10 minutes can be a stretch.
Soloists, almost impossible.

None of this is acceptable to me, you could invite a friend and do it in less then 30 on something other then smn, and actually get procs.
If 10 min isn't enough time to get the procs you want and kill it, it will force you to get better.
It will eliminate soloists

Battlefield status and a 10 minute timer would be an amazing thing to add now that I think about it more. It would eliminate so many problems, like noobs wiping/losing claim and whining about it, and eliminate slow peoples. I'm all for it, but only if it's 10 minutes or less.

Unfortunately SE has always catered to the lowest of the lowest common denominators with 60 min rage timer on Fafnir etc, so I wouldn't hold my breath for anything below 30 minutes.

Not all my friends can be online at the same times as me. Isn't that a little selfish that you don't want me to be able to solo anything during a time where the mob is free and nobody is killing/camping it?

You honestly think that every soloist out there runs around and finds the mob you wish to kill, and start killing it 1 minute before you get there?

Besides, what if I want just the armor/weapon, and kill it during blunt time? I can get most of the procs as SMN during that time, so your reasoning of "actually get procs" doesn't apply there. Like Orison Earring. I can pop the NM just at the start of blunt time, proc blue if possible, and kill as quick as I can. I have been able to solo a lot of the gear I want from this method. Some of my KIs for harder to kill or +2 items NMs I would ask my friends to help me kill.

This 10 minute limitation is too short imo. 30 minutes seems to be SE's time of choice (BCNMs, Fay weapons, etc). That seems to be more reasonable.

It has nothing to do with wiping I see you have not been paying attention.

And there is less then a handful disagreeing with them that there is no problem. It does happen and it shouldn't plain and simple.
