No but in other games you have to wait till you can 'claim' the mob and if there are many players needing the mob, as happens in low level zones not infrequently you have to compete for it. One reason I stoppled leveling characters in WOW was taking 25 mins to to something that only took 5 with the other 20 waiting for mobs to respawn and be able to 'tap' the mob before anyone else.

Most people I suspect don't want to go back to the 1990s-type game where you had to compete for every mob to get drops or other quest objectives.

I love in this game other players are co-operation unlike games like WOW where they're mostly competition.

Bit of a pet peeve for me too. I remember there was one quest in Rivenspire where you had to go into a building, and go upstairs to kill the guy behind the mess you'd been cleaning up. I entered the building at the same time as another player, both of us planning to unleash a torrent of vengeance on this jerk. Before either of us got to the stairs, we got the notification that we had successfully killed him, and saw a third player coming down from upstairs. Both of us were very disappointed (we wanted to kill this bad guy!) so we decided to hang around for a while to see if he might respawn. Sadly, he never did, so we gave up.

It was very unfulfilling.
