Exping/Claiming System

[Malakii]

As i read both of your guys responses and i agree with parts of both, I have to say that this all is fixed with changing the claim system to the first person/people that getting it and other can't help. What the point of people helping anyways they not gonna get the experience they are not gonna get any of the loot so just get rid of that go to a normal claim system. just because they change it from people helping to people not being able to help wont change the exp or chain bonus link at all. So their really no use for anyone to be helping anyone outside their group, but i do think that even tho everything in the game can be cleared by 8 members or less not everyone can do it and i have mix feelings about this i kinda feel like well if you can't do it with 8 well you need to get better and keep trying but also think that for the fun of the game alliance needs to be introduced cause it point less to have to kill a mob you don't need more then once because out side members weren't the first one to engage mob. So all in all claiming needs to be the first one who gets it unless they die then it goes unclaimed and alliances need to be introduced.

People complained when the party cap was reduced from 15 to 8 that they couldn't include nearly as many people from their LS and whatnot in events. With the new system they can. There's nothing at all wrong with helping someone if you feel so inclined. There's nothing stopping people from doing things with just 8 people or less. What's wrong with letting people do things with more than 8 people? For the tough (instanced) stuff you can't go above 8 people anyway.

Honestly the new claiming system has allowed my linkshell to form stronger ties with a few others on our server by helping each other out with things like the Stronghold NMs. Sure it's possible to do it with a party of 8 but you've got to be perfect, any screw ups and pretty much it's a wipe especially in Natalan. The new system can help foster a sense of community and allow more people to actually help each other than previously was allowed. I don't see how this is at all a bad thing.
