Ok as for having many different ages in this game I think this is a serious issue....
i love the idea of your new loot system will make things easier then the one who macro loots faster then the one who doesnt...so it does solve the problem
Now as for when I am attacking mob...private jo here comes up takes his 1000 damage pike and swipes it down in a few hits...i dont get the kill he gets the loot that i was working on....
this is just an example...i know the cu is suppose to change all the legendary, uber and cheat weapons out there but we do need to consider anotehr change...
that is locking in a mob that is once attacked to only the attacker and his group fellowmates...this will be less of a hassle for a lot of us...
then the larger guilds "who can" do it because they choose to be rude to the rest of the population....
please devs look into this...this would greatly improve star wars....final fantasy online despite how bad it was...was very nice that nobody can run up to your mob you are attacking because it was "your mob" not its mine because i can kill it faster....
I hope you seriously look into this....

We are having a major problem with this in the Krayt Graveyard on Chimaera. Large Guild groups are attacking every Krayt that pops up and smaller groups, (already attacking the Krayt,) are loosing out because DJK and DKM's quite frankly do a lot more damage because Krayts have no resists to their lightsabres.

yes i know this is a problem on bloodfin...
people who are in the larger guilds dont care...they want the krayt and will outdamage you....
and also this kind of behavior looks bad on the jedi community when jedi run around kill stealing....
i really want them to consider this as a problem and the viable solution would be locking the mob into the first attacker and his group..

Kill stealing seems to be a problem in a lot of online games.
but locking in a mob will not be the solution. people will just exploit this to.
they will attack all targets that spawn, whilst only actually wanting one for example.
anyway it might bring more problems into the game than it will solve.
just a bit of social responcibility should help a lot. just talk to the KSers.
and make sure that if they refuse to listen, that the CSR is willing to help out, and tell the offender to be more considerate to newbies.

Talk to them? Read Bio's, most of them pride themselves on it.
This is apparently a feature of which SOE is quite proud of.
Just leave them to 'their' game and find something else to do.

Saw it last night when looking over a friends shoulder, they were happily plodding away at an npc and somebody else comes along and kills it quicker than them, they got the loot and my friend lost out on the kill & loot. That wasn't even with anybody with a 'uber' weapon, just they were more advanced in their template. Annoyingly they were trying to get a specific loot piece for me 
They fixed the killstealing with JtL, now do it with the main SWG game - either that or increase what drops certain loot pieces (ie prevent the need to camp specific POI's)

While I agree that this is a problem, I also have to think that this is easier for us to say fix it than it is to program a way to make it more customer friendly.
It amazes me with the number of Krayts that are spawning at the Krayt Graveyard that people still have to try to KS. I know that when I go out it is usually with 4 or 5 guildies (unless we want an ancient). Several times other groups have come by to try to steal our kills. We tried talking to them and then the posted in the forums that we were KSers and whiners....Sad really. There is just so many....why fight over one?
Anyways a fix for this is always welcome, but I think it is easier said than done.

Ill attampt to kill steal anyone of the opposing faction that I can. On the other hand I wont do that to an Imperial. I have even asked other imps that were doing this to imps not to. They usually do it but ya can tell they would rather not..
This is a Galatic Civil War ya know. Who do people only think that only means PVP ano nothing else. This should be enforced on an economic front as well. Why let the enamy get the better weapons to kill you down the road with. If you have chosen to stay a civilian I am sorry. But ill also offer to grant them enough faction to join the Empire free of charge. And they will never have to worry about me KS'ing again..

Eliminating the POI loot problem will take care of kill stealing for the most part. Unless they set it up like in FFX where the mob you attack is locked then you will always have kill stealing.

Man you really are an Ass. KSing is BS doing it just shows your maturity level or rather lack there of. Its obvious that you forget this is a GAME to be played for fun and its a'holes like you that ruin it and force people to quit playing.

i think some of you miss the point...when a mob is locked in like FFXI it is not attackable by anybody else...only the first person who shoots it locks it in.....
some of you said that wont solve the problem...how so? the problem is I am fighting one already...somebody comes up(one person) outdamages me and my 4 guildies....tell me how fun that is...because they paid millions for a weapon which i care not too.... i played since day one...i refuse to use a cheat weapon and never came across any legendary...
some of you said that in FFXI they lock in mobs and they still kill steal...how so i played the game and the only thing i loved about the game was nobody can touch my mob i had been fighting...i thought it was the best idea around....
too many people think they can do it and never learned about game ettiquette.... that seems the day of the past and online games need to rethink how they program with so many immature people running around...
there is no talking to them they stay silent and keep ksing...or they just follow you around because they enjoy being rude... they love it....
it needs to be done...i see no reason why people are against it unless you are a kill stealer yourself....
