Inconsiderate!

Some people seem to think they have to "share" everything in the game. When you see the original topic of why do people lock down items and shout for other people to help, maybe with everyone here thinking its ok to take someone elses mobs you can now see why people want to lock down items. Its basically get a bigger group together so no one steals the mob from them. Once you have your group it becomes less likely to require skilled players because the larger the group the less likely the mob will be claimed by someone else. Now you see why the shouts lock down items and people become very me me me about property.

It isn't about locking down items, it is about being the most efficient with your time, since time is the one thing in Abyssea you don't have unlimited access to. Sure, you can end your Abyssea run at 900+ minutes, but those minutes will eventually run out. That is why smaller groups outperform larger groups because you can kill the same NMs in the same amount of time, but you can get done quicker with 5-6 people than you would with 18 people.

If you lost, you lost. Why do you care if anyone else takes the mob you lost to and beats it? Point being, you still lost it. You lost the pop set it took to pop it, you lost the opportunity to have the items, you lost the opportunity to have the key items in question. Just learn from your mistakes, try again, or try again with more/better people.
