What's wrong with a little competition? Hunts need a claim system.

@Yolanda - I know what you mean, and it sucked a bit sometimes in FFXI, but if a group CAN monopolize the system, then maybe they are just that good and others need to get on that level if they want to claim/win.

Get on what level?

On my server, once awful LSes learned they could stack bodies on Tiamat to kill her instead of actually playing skillfully, they left alts camping the Chasm 24/7 to know when it spawned, thus preventing anyone else from ever fighting her on my server (they had 100s of members, so any time of day or night they'd call each other and go kill it asap, littering the zone with their corpses in the process). Truly, I am inspired by their skill.

KA camping? What is "next level" about spamming Provoke or using a bot to quickly target and Provoke before it even has a chance to fully spawn? There's nothing "skillful" about this.

There's nothing amazing about claiming anything. You make it sound like claiming a mob is equivalent to beating Final Coil or something. It's... not.
