Claim system, should it really dissappear?

Why can't them mob drop multiples of the same item based on the number of parties/people fighting it and just make the loot drops only lottable by each separate group and reduce the number of items a nm drops per group based on the number of people in each group. Personally i'd rather see everyone with potential for rewards for thier groups seperately then repeat sitting in Dragon's Aery every day for 3 hours fighting for claims. There just has to be be a better way.

While it is inconvenient for the people that lose on the claim, isn't that part of the allure of killing open world NM's? I don't want this game to turn into a pre-schooler's MMO. There will be plenty of ways to get loot including faction leves, dungeons, and other forms of instanced combat. I appreciate a challenge, I loved XI's claiming system. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Hadn't checked this in a long time. Anyways my point was more along the end result that system created in the past. My bot is better than your bot so I win, My NASA bot is better than your FFXI app, and the endless cycle from there. I'm not a saint so I won't sit here and say that I wouldn't do what needed to be done. My personal feeling on world spawns (with massive respawn timers) is that it's an outdated mechanic. Perhaps there is a better way to implement it. While I understand and respect that you enjoyed it and i'm sure that others did too. The thing I miss least is waking up at all hours just to camp the NM then go to work in the morning. To each his own, that is just my perspective.
