First I want to say, everyone out there who thinks kill stealing is OK, or is part of competitive play, is just over the top in my book. Please don't get me wrong, you kill steal me on purpose I will make sure you don't get to kill anything as long as your in the area or I get bored. Now with that being said, it is a long standing mmorpg "rule" that kill stealing is wrong. Now I know, for most of you this is your very first game with other people and you have a hard time figuring out how to properly act. However, I'm here to tell you kill stealing is not cool, is not good sportsmanship, and is just rude. In another post someone compared the supposed competition of kill stealing to the competition of sports. No, sports have rules, sports have sportsman who for the most part play by the set rules as well as the unwritten rules. There is no comparison. They aren't even in the same ball park.
And with all that, it is my vote to make target lock happen at first hit. You want to get rid of kill stealing idiots... Lock the mob on first hit, then all you wanna be mmorpgers can go find another game to wreak your ignorant havoc in.

Making it a first hit would be a terrible idea. Not every class attacks at the same rate for one thing. But a HUGE problem is Internet lag. I have low lag but many people suffer up to several seconds because of where they live. This would prohibit people with leggy connections from ever competing for camped bosses again. Not so fair...
