New claim system, the death of open world content?

[MeowyWowie]

I'd argue that the majority of worthwhile equipment obtained in FFXI before abyssea was in instanced areas. Let's face it. Fighting for claims is frustrating, no fun, and a waste of time I'd rather be using to kill whatever I'm waiting for.

Lol your sig looks very inappropriate if you only see the top half.

But on topic, It's not a claim war issue that we're discussing here. Both systems have the same exact "claim" requirements for loot. It's balancing and griefing that becomes an issue with this system, for open world content.

I have yet to see anyone explain why this system is better than our current one. I understand many will not agree with me and are in favor of the new system, and I'm not trying to convince anyone to agree with me.

Edit: If anything, I'm hoping someone can convince me to believe that this new system is in fact better than what we have now. The chance of them changing their mind on this now is highly unlikely I'm sure.
