New claim system, the death of open world content?

[Synthesis]

Whatever they do, people will complain till they change it. Then people will complain some more, so I don't know why I even read these... ><

IMO the loot claiming and loot system needs to be whoever struck the monster first. With countermeasures against bots.
The Loot needs to have a loot master, this "falling evenly and into random peoples inventory" crap needs to end.

Its no big deal. people will give items to those who needs them.

lol yeah right, i assume this was just trying to be funny. take warhammer no one passed on things like rank 75 stuff even if u was rank 50 and very long way of ever using it. then in that game people tried to create a dkp system with need and greed witch didn't work outside of keeping there own groups and they were usually never full groups anymore.

but with this system i'm wondering if it's all bout dmg for the better drops? then the group without the tank and heals wins? do we start making zerg groups to try steal mobs? 8 vs 8 1 set up right and 1 set up just to win the prizes><

i can see problems with it, but they did say instanced is majority of drops...lets hope this isn't a huge problem in itself. also what Rokien said in his post is pretty much how i feel, a game where i'm just doing stuff with ls or with a group static the full game life? ain't gonna be a game i want to play, ffxi 99% of everything u did with diff people from grinds to missions, endgame was only thing static and it was huge group play so it didn't matter it was a blast.
