On crafting and resource theft.

This. I mean, I main ACN, and I agree with this. This would bring too many problems.

And my issue with the claiming to get normal drops is that it turns the crafting game into a passive-aggressive, forced PvP.

While I agree that being able to only claim one mob would be a dumb idea, the rest of your response seems to be a knee-jerk reaction to the suggestion. Just treating monster drops the same as quest mobs (being able to damage a claimed mob for quest drop) would be a big step in the right direction, if not outright the solution.

Uhmm no, that would not be the solution, that would be asking for horrible abuse. Get 2 buddies (Don't party ofc), have each of you do 1/3rd of the dmg and voila suddenly one mob gives 3 drops!
