Dead party members keeping claim on monsters

[Talon]

This is a major problem with NM's in general. My LS was approaching the Goblin NM and as we were getting ready to send our tank in. This random character sprinted past us with the quick ability and aggro died the NM and effectively locked the monster from us. The NM's proceeded to attack my LS but did not allow us to claim. We sat there for 5-10 minutes as another LS slowly trickled in and started to fight the monster.

I have one other glitch on top of this that is related to add.

When the LS started to fight the Goblin they encountered some kind of glitch that forced the NM's name to appear yellow the entire fight. It was not claimable outside of their party. Also this prevented the goblin's rage timer from executing. Which then they were able to drag out the fight well over 45 minutes.

I am not sure if death claiming indirectly results in a claimed yellow status but this is an issue that needs addressing.

That seems to be the case I have never seen claimed yellow mobs other than when people do this.

Hmmm. quite some time ago (well before the patch), while farming for gnat wings in the mines with a friend, an archer had somehow engaged or aggro'd a gnat. Despite apparant disengagement, with the archer engaging and killing other mobs, and moving well beyond the range/distance to normally disengage the gnat, the gnat showed as yellow, but we were unable to claim it. Not sure if this is related.
