KI-popped-NM Stealing

[Eeek]

Yeah, people claiming that you suck if things go yellow are idiots. Soloing an iron giant last night the thing went yellow halfway through the fight. Hate reset or not, both myself and the pet had performed actions on the mob and should have been on the hate list. No logical reason for it to have gone yellow, unless pathing is bugged on a flat surface... when i`m standing a mere 20 yalms away.

You were far enough away that the mob could not take any action on you. Mobs can and will go yellow under such circumstances. Ask any BLM who spent time at the old puddings camp in Mount Zhaylom how many puddings they deaggro'd and depopped while getting used to the camp.

And yes, the mob pathing really is that bad. It's that bad in a lot of places in the game. For example, I accidently depopped entire trains of Brasscaps several times while working on trials in Grauberg [S].

Perhaps if one doesn't want to be told they suck they shouldn't be taking hours to complete a pop when it takes 20~30 minutes at worst and can be done in 15 minutes?

Way to post on topic dude. I`d comment more on how you could suck less at forums but it`s probably a waste of breath.

It's entirely on topic. A bunch of people are complaining about losing mobs because they go yellow when it's fairly obvious from everything that they say that they have not a single clue about anything they are talking about. They need to be told to suck less because if they weren't so horrible a bunch of players that 15 minutes of work takes "hours" they would have had enough time to realize how the claim system even works.
Is it annoying when you lose claim because a mob turned yellow? yes. But it is not completely random as hell and in order for it to happen you generally need to be wiping. There was even an announcement by SE with bloody charts for you guys to learn how things work.
Stop complaining about problems that don't exist.

I find it surprising that the same people who supported the fixing of pet PDT arent supporting something else that seems even more broken and open to abuse.

Crying over stolen mobs is silly.

Agreed, but stealing them is pretty smrt too.

Simple solution: burn KIs on death, not on pop.

Edit: Nevermind, that wouldn't work.

Change all force pop NMs to conflict status such as the Voidwatch NMs.

If I can't have it, nobody can! Muahahahahaha!

Other people just shouldn't be allowed to play FFXI. Everyone should get their own server. THAT would put an end to the problem!

Learn to play better and not die and you won't have this problem. It's nobody's fault but your own if you lost claim on a mob because you died or something. You deserve to lose your NM if you screwed up that badly. Seriously almost all of the NMs in Abyssea are such a joke. FFXI isn't a hard game.
