Exping/Claiming System

[Dalmore]

1. EXP is fine as it is. Sure you can level pretty quickly but this game is built around leveling multiple (or all) classes, especially where combat is concerned.

2. There will always be some way to powerlevel. I'd rather they keep it how it is now then over-fix it and end up hurting legit players. And as far as the knowing how to play your job issue goes, there are people who hit 50 "legitimately" who don't know how to play their class. Terrible players will always exist, powerleveling or not. Also, at least in my experience, people tend to start grinding in parties at 40 in the strongholds. These kinds of parties give players the experience they need for playing their class. Most content prior to that doesn't require much knowledge of how to play ones class properly.

3. The new claiming system is awesome, it fixed a lot of problems we had previously. When the party size was knocked down from 15 to 8, a lot of people complained they couldn't do things with large groups. Now you can. The previous claim system didn't allow people to gain SP for monsters that weren't claimed, and you could only claim a single group at a time. That was awful, the new system is great.





Easy way to combat this, if you're in a group: Have someone use Accomplice on said d-bag who's trying to steal the monster.

And if your solo your just screwed? but yea accomplice doesnt burn through 2 vokes, warmonge and cures.... lol by the time accomplice is ready again so is voke more heals so on.

Wonder if spend hours upon hours stealin nms and mobs from ppl ( since with the new claim system it is perfectly legit right?) maybe just maybe i'll get enough people bitching about it and SE might fix it.

If your party has a tank that doesn't suck, another party shouldn't be able to walk in mid-kill and steal your NM. But again, this strategy hinges upon having a tank that knows how to actually play their class.

Hmmm again where did i say anything about a party? you know nm's can be solo'd right? and again where did i say mid kill? I said " A DoW with vokes can take any NM they want from any DoM after the DoM just gets Claim" meaning if you are camping against a DoM for a NM you as a DoW can take the NM at will.

See by NMs I thought you meant ones that mattered and didn't respawn at 5 minute intervals. So it's possible, how much of an issue is it really? I mean okay, from a hypothetical standpoint I can see the issue. Yeah, someone can be a giant d-bag about it and steal NM kills from low-ranks.

Looking at it from a realistic standpoint, it's hardly an issue. Oh no you have to wait less than 5 minutes for the next spawn. Help the person kill it if you're concerned about time. Further, the gear dropped is only good for 25-35 depending (most of which is overshadowed by Toto-Rak gear). If you're just looking for kill credit or for the Ifrit quest, you could try asking them if they'd allow you a single kill just to be done with it.

So yeah, I can see how the concept is an issue but realistically it's pretty negligible. There are ways to get around it too, such as being in a group or having your own enmity generating skills, or in the case of low-NMs killing it faster than they can steal it.
