Dont steal from Beastmasters.Follow

I expect this from sellers. But please, just because a mob turns yellow while a BST is fighting it, doesnt give you the right to claim it. If I dont claim the NM, I dont sit near it like a vulture waiting for the person to die or mob to unclaim. I /cheer them on.

Most of them are JP. It sickens me to watch a mob that I camped for hours, be stolen mid-battle cause you're a sore loser.

Why am I posting this? Because I camped Wyvernpoacher in hopes of getting myself an O-bow. Twice the NM has been stolen from me. 1 from the sellers from FinalfantasyXl LS. 2 from these JP people:

Hiromin ; Kosukabe ; Dunan ; Bartasar ( another 2 I forgot )

Watch out for these guys. They are losers and shouldnt be given the time of day. I've never stolen an NM from someone, so why do I get **** on?

Sorry for the rant.

PS: Their reply to me when I asked why they stole it from me was "{That's too bad.}^^" Not cool...

That is why I'm scared to death to fight any NMs with my BST if I get to the level where I can.

Too many people in game lack common courtesy.

mpk them im sure itll teach them a nice lesson.

Must be a karma thing... I think we all fought some BSTs ex-pet once, and gotten crappy or no exp for an IT.
Ofcourse, it's still a lousy thing to claim the NM a BST is fighting.

I think it's a complicated problem to solve for SE, and as it causes conflicts only on a few occasions, it doesn't have high priority.

SE wont fix the claim situation. Yes it is courtesy to wait till someone is dead, but it isnt stealing by the rules of the TOS if the target goes unclaimed. Most people will find it rude to such a thing, but many just go by the if it blinks take it. VadaVada was trying to do a thf kill on Serket a couple days ago and they all disenaged but before the thf took aggro it went white and gilsellers claimed it at 1% and killed it. Kinda sad really. What sucks is if you MPK someone who takes a mob off you, than your in the wrong and can be sent to jail.......

I know there's a grace period, but it's very short...like, 3-5 seconds. Not really enough time for you to Charm new pet, Fight on old NM and for the pet to take the swing before it goes yellow, even if just for a brief moment. And I think using Leave at all completely messes that up, because I know non-NMs have turned yellow for a second when I use Leave but before I actually swing my axe for the finishing blow.

Honestly, you can't expect human decency, we can only hope some day SE actually fixes something they've known about for a long time, since they had to patch that far-too-short grace period in the first place, they could try patching it to give you enough time to actually hold the claim, and fix Leave ******** up any grace period existing at all.

I help people like cures n stuff if I camp NMs EXCEPT gilsellers cause they just camp all day prolly have like 10 drops and dont need money or dont need drop

Actually, the color of the mob's name only turned yellow on you once. There were several moments the mob could have been voked/stolen each time you switch pets or got out of range when you had hate (or disengaged the mob which I doubt you did).

There's a bit of lag on the name color change, and there are brief moments where red does not mean claimed.

I've had Amemit and Aquarius stolen a couple times, when the name stayed red, but a gil farmer was spamming voke. The name simply goes red --> purple. Nothing you can do if you're bst and chaining pets against the mob. Best bet is to accept the risk and try anyways, throw pets at it in a crowded 'aggy' area, or don't accept the risk and use your beastly-ness to make gil other ways (bcnms, high-end farming, etc).

If it's a highly sought rare/ex item you're after, then safest way to camp it is in a full PT that can handle the NM.

I know it sucks, but bst offers enough benefits to make up for the claim issues. =)
