This system gives the reward to the first person or group to initiate. It does not give rewards to just one person, but rather the first to initiate, if it is a group the group like normal gets the drops. as for your argument on killing a NM with 30 people. In reality you can have 15 people in a group. if it takes more then that. You should not be trying to kill it. FFXIV is not wow with insane amounts of numbers flying around and groups of 30 taking down some boss that stands there and just gets beat down forever. This new addition to the combat system is not about Stealing or that people are going to always rush to help you. If your in a fight 99 percent of the time you or your group are going to be taking it down. this system lets other people help this is true. but they get no benefit from it. the odds of people coming out the wood work to help you is very unlikely. I have healed a few people when i saw them in trouble, but i do not spend my waking moments looking for them. I think you should reserve judgement of this system after you have tried it. Our current system is not the greatest system in the world.
