You do know off-topic posts are also against forum rules too don't you? Why can't you take a legitimate attempt to correct an in-game bug, posted in the correct forum, with examples of the bug in progress, seriously? I'm not yelling, I'm not raging, I'm simpling trying to right a wrong by bringing it to the attention of the proper people in the proper manner.

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...ve-abandonment was the first (of four or five) posts about this that I found, and was posted by Reikia.

Here is what Baccanale (mod) said in the thread Reikia posted about the problem:

"Greetings again, Reika!
Thank you for your patience with waiting for a response to the investigation. After thoroughly investigating the matter, the development team did find this to be a potential problem with the game, and the matter is being worked on at this time. I recommend keeping an eye on both the forums and http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com/pl/index.html for any news about any further developments. In addition, it is highly advised that players refrain from replicating this, since it would be considered a very serious violation, and serious action may be taken against players if they are found to be in violation. We greatly appreciate the heads-up! "

I suspect that claiming issues are likely to be part of the new combat system since they haven't been addressed specificly yet.

Well at least they are aware of the issue, however we will still likely need to wait until mid June for patch 1.18 to come out for it to be addressed, I'm just hoping they read this thread as well and see that it is not only an issue, but a serious recurring one. I also made sure to clearly screenshot the specific example of this exploit occurring and those involved, so hopefully they will take that into account too. I'm pretty sure if they took action against the offending individuals it would at least discourage others from attempting it. Even just giving them a firm in game talking to would be enough, Jail is scary, especially when most of them have put a decent amount of time into their characters, they just chose not to claim properly.

That's not the same issue Origamikitsune >.>

This is about people keeping claim on NMs by not returning, not abandoning faction leves and still getting the rewards. I imagine the response would be the same though.

All that needs to be done until a fix happens though is a community rep has to come here and officially state it is a serious violation and that it's a potentially bannable offense. That should scare most of the people away from doing it.

That doesn't work either with a single mob it would but with the NM groups only one of the many yellow mobs aggros you, making it impossible to move them all. We tried for 5 minutes to get them to move away while the rest of the death claim party ran from far north of treespeak. Nothing works, and regardless, even ig it was a single mobs and we could try to lure it away, this is still an exploit and a blatant infraction of SE's terms and policies. I want at the very very least for this issue to be patched.

It does work, I do it all the time. Try harder.

I think this is hilarous. This guy posted on ffxivpro as well. This is a joke. Learn to claim.

[Luluna]

It has happened to us a few times, fair enough if you can't claim and then the other party wipe you have chance of claiming...but if you have some muppet lying dead on the floor and the mobs name turns back to white and looks like it is unclaimed and low and behold you can't touch it because of this exploit! if you don't have a problem with this exploit then you are probably the ones that are using it. This issue needs fixing.

First off if your gonna preach to the Rules from SE how about you Explain that in those Pictures you were Actually attempting to MPk my Team or how badly you suck because you got out claimed by 1 person to your teams 5 at that side.

either Way I appreciate the fact that you once again state a Known issue as well as post your self up to look like a Advocate of Good when in Turn your Pissing on the GM's Leg as your reporting this but Good luck with you and your Adventures

I think he is just requesting that this needs to be fixed and I agree. It's not about claiming; it's about a dead body holding a claim over a NM so other's can not get the NM. I would think any legit player would want this issue addressed so that everyone can have fair play on a mob. If you are dead you don't need to still have claim on a mob as you can not attempt to kill it since you are... dead. This thread makes perfect sense to me and I'm glad he brought it to SE's attention.

<.< Ooops on quoting the wrong one. I had like, five windows open about similar things and it was late. Point I was trying to make, is that it has been reported on and commented on by the community mods. A little searching will reveal that.
