    New claim system PL exploit?

    im just wondering if this new claim system, since there is no "call for help" type thing out there, and outside people can just essentially help you kill what your fighting, that whats stopping someone from rolling around with a rank 50 and having them kill everything a low ranker claims?

    Im not sure if this got brought up, but it seems kind of like and obvious exploit.

    Yeah, we're all aware of how this could be detrimental in two ways:

    - Power leveling
    - Player griefing

    ...and yes this marks about the 5th thread on this topic lol

    From what I understand, SE has not released information to clarify how these two issues will be handled.

    Well they can make it so you get EXP according to the DMG you actually did to the mob if they want to prevent PL. Will suck sometimes when a jackass goes around in low level area and kill claimed mobs just to aggravate people, but to counter that they can add a /nohelp command.

    Edit: changed SP to EXP

    Right now, a healer who wants to provide some power leveling support can remain outside of a party and avoid ever-aggroing or getting hit by a leve mob or claimed mob. And there's not too much now to prevent someone from going AoE madness and killing unclaimed mobs.

    Griefing is going to become an issue.

    Can you imagine trying to fight your enemy, then get hit with an AoE that someone else is fighting or worse, that someone dragged over to you?

    How about having some better info, or see the sistem live first ? It's the 5° topic on a "exploit" without having seen a thing
