Say NO to the New Possession (Claiming) Structure Being Developed!!!

[Kailok]

The idea isn't horrible, but the implementation seems to be off. As I've probably said a million times in my time at the lodestone, I'm going to use the ideology of ArenaNet's dev-team (Yes, I'm a big fan of the upcoming Guild Wars 2, sue me.)

They think that people should always be happy to see other players. And this is true.

If you're 2 HP from dying and another player comes along and is able to save you without having to heal you, but it doesn't destroy your Reward for the damage you did do to the mob. Say you spend fighting 10 minutes alone fighting an NM, and then suddenly you're about to lose but another player comes along and helps you kill it because he needs something too. He comes over, helps you do the deed, and you are both rewarded based off how much you contributed to the fight.

It's a Massive MULTIPLAYER Online game. We should be happy to see other players.
I don't agree that most of the game should be instanced as far as endgame, because I did enjoy my sea/sky raids, but I don't see why rewarding players for helping each other is a bad thing when everyone is awarded based off of contribution to the fight. We should be worried about killing the mob, not worried about claiming it from someone else.

It would give reason for linkshells to come together against a large foe instead of potentially griefing each other.

What they should do is make it so that it whatever item drops is put into an "Open Pool" that is available to anyone who contributed, and people that are eligible to use the item are able to roll on it.
