I don't know, maybe I'm just irritated by lazy people.

Does it affect me directly? Probably not. But I'm one of those people that Yoshi P has quoted as thinking "If you're not going to actually play the game, why play at all?"

What humors me the most though is that before this change was announced, there was not a single thread about people asking for a new claim system. People asked to be able to claim multiple targets at once, or at the very least get equal SP from AOE'd targets. People asked for the ability to help others when they see them losing against a mob. People asked for alliances.

Nobody asked for a better PL system. Nobody asked for a completely new claim system. Aside from those things I just mentioned above, nobody had any other grudges with our current system, or at least they weren't vocal about it.

SE is just being lazy, and they're even encouraging laziness it seems. All this change did so far is create arguments, which could have been completely avoided had they not been lazy and instead, perfected the current claim system.
