Things are really starting to get nasty. SE takes one step forward with the Atmos event and five steps back with this one. The average player doesn't have much of a chance now that the cat is out of the bag about claim. Leashing is out of the question now with so many people around. The best thing to do now is probably to bring your group out to the area with the least people and stay in one of the pop spots opposite to whatever LS is there. Try and get initial claim, take them down using the sleep method, and pray it respawns in your spot.
