Regarding Adjustments to Exploratory Missions

The mixing of battle classes/jobs with gathering classes

Everyone knows the issue here, unfortunately. If they are gathering, they're not contributing anyway so they're already diminshing the battle capabilities of the party. Sadly, nothing addresses the "loot drops --> gatherer changes class and lots anyway" problem, so it seems we're stuck no matter what.

Players ignoring monsters after managing to land the first attack

Pertinent to Fresh Tracks in particular, I believe that everyone should have to compete for a reward. Otherwise, people are unfairly gaining with little to zero additional effort. Why should one Shadow Flare etc. claim your mob and automatically give another party full credit without helping to kill it? That seems very unbalanced.

Otherwise, I like the Diadem and its teamwork aspects, so thank you all. It's just often marred by bad attitudes and selfishness.

simple solution:
if you want the right to roll on loot, you must have done anything that generates hate (dmg/flash/healing) to the mob while on a combat class (autohit as gatherer does not count)
since generating hate brings you infight where you cant switch without running out of range first, this would make it extremely bad for gatherer that want loot anyway since they loose way too much time
