They don't even have to go back to that. All they have to do is make it so claim goes to the person with the highest amount of hate when some one drops from party.

Thing is even that would not stop the ebils of power leveling. You would also have to partially revert the changes to the claim system. And even then it's still possible to cure people in combat so that would have to go out of the airlock as well.

But on to the "point" of the op. Going back to a system that at best encourages bad play and at worst was a zero sum race to screw over the other party members is a very very bad idea.
