New claim system, the death of open world content?

[Arcell]

This game promotes AoE abilities, yet doesn't let us utilize it (predefined "Groups"s that all turn red don't count).

I think the problem is that there aren't more of these pre-defined groups. I can't really think of many, if any at all, monsters outside of dungeons and leves that are grouped aside from a few NMs. They just need to take the SP restriction off unclaimed monsters and all will be right.
