Claim System + Call for Help Code = Win

It's probably pretty far off the radar of players who are entering into Abyss for the first time.

Woah, woah, hold on there Tex! What's this there Abyssea you folks are talking about? Is that like a BCNM or something?

Do you know why I'm learning new things? They just didn't matter as much as they do now in the current game. The hate mechanics have never before caused the volume of issues they are causing now.

I find this kind of funny considering the discovery of 'hate mechanics' was probably the most prolific and important spread of information in FFXIs history. It was a major development in the English speaking player base and helped bring the concept of 'tanking' out of the dark ages to what we have now. Granted it wasn't until very, very recently that 'DD tanking' has become more popular, but high end players have been eschewing traditional tanks for everything except fun for a long time now. I know you have posted on Alla in the past, and that the information was there if you wanted to learn it. But then, I was being rate bombed there as recently as this Christmas for suggesting that DDs should carry pdt/mdt sets with them, so as somebody else said... willful ignorance.

Not saying that something should or shouldn't be done about the claim system (actually, I'm with Chocobits on this one), but saying the 'hate mechanics' didn't matter much until recently? It's kind of the core of the game.
