[dev1026] Changes to Claiming and Engaging Enemies

It's not like I don't see the benefits to allowing new players to
"catch up" with their friends in a few days; but something is lost
when the whole game focuses only on the so-called "end-game".

Imagine a FF7 that starts with a train ride at LV1, then two days
of afk leveling, and the next thing you know is you're dealing
9999 damage to some faceless underdeveloped Sephiroth.
Nothing in-between. No story. No challenging content, because,
hey, Sephiroth is waiting @LV99.

What people seem to not realize is that by focusing entirely on
how to facilitate leveling, SE conjures up a situation where
mid-level content becomes meaningless because it's possible
to blast through that level range in a few days anyway.

I loved my Borea Cesti in FFXI. Because I knew I could use them
for a while (Promyvions!). In FFXIV, I do not even bother to
kill a mid-level NM @50, because the dropped equipment becomes
useless within days and thus is nothing more than some Rare/Ex
stuff that cluters my inventory.

Very disappointed here. But if it is for the "greater good" (of bringing
in fresh, new players), I guess I will, heavy-heartedly, adapt.

if you wanna pay for PL it's a your problem. Also, in almost every game there's a way to PL, so people PL. FFXI had a claiming sistem when nobody could touch the mob after been claimed, and PL existed. People will figure out a method to PL if they have the choise, not much to argue.
Btw, stating PL will be possible, don't mean it's required to exp

And also, it's still better of legalized RMT made in blizzard *coff coff*

Yep i did alot of PL parties in FFXI with a character selling player that would have me set up the parties for free PLing lol and then met a friend who SMN burned so i did that alot and then abyssea lol thats when i quit. it was there in FFXI so all it is now with this new claim system is just easier. I look foward to the new system and what they do with it.
