must have misread, so you mean keep the current claiming system but allow for multiple claims? just don't let outside help killing the mobs?

While I do agree it could be simply fixed that way, they must have reasons not too and that's why they stated with the future content in mind it was more suitable to have the proposed claiming system and allow outside help to kill mob.

Probably has to do with Hamlet defense if you ask me. Won't be instanced (which you should like ) and to make it so that everyone participates and can down mobs even if they are no in the same group they had to allow a claiming system that allowed outside help.
