Claim System + Call for Help Code = Win

[Alhanelem]

Why can't a monster stay claimed until it kills anyone that took action on it and goes idle for a certain amount of time?

Err.... that happens now, except it's an OR where you have the word AND.

Sorry, the claim system needs no changes. Don't fail at winning, and you won't have a problem. If everyone has been defeated, even if they have reraise, if they take action quickly, then they're using zombie tactics (they're not going to survive and are depending on repeated deaths to get to the end of the fight) which are discouraged.

If you liose, you lose. That's it. If a monster goes unclaimed, it's virtually always because you lost. It's the game's way of saying that.

Giving up claim could then be achieved by your party/alliance leader through another option in the CFH menu.

Your party/alliance leader cannot press this button while KO'd- thus a group can even unintentionally monopolize a monster without being able to defeat it.
