Don't know about Tera but in GW the mob does not get tagged for the first one hitting it. Everyone involved in the fight will get XP from the kill and it generates loot for everyone. In fact it even gives bonus xp if there's people helping each other. Basically it's like being in a one big group all the time without actually grouping.

Like player A attack a mob and gets it to 50%, player B arrives and starts to attack it too. Mob dies, they both get credit and loot from the kill and XP with a little bonus compared to pure solo kill.

Yep, and that is exactly why I brought it up because this old system is going to fade away.

So again.. enjoy it while it lasts. Now at least the unhelpful people won't poke your mobs

Shared XP on mobs isn't a new concept, City of Heroes had it from launch and had one of the best communities in an MMO ever and I maintain that if more people had played it instead of WoW, we wouldn't be in this mess of bad mannered gamer kiddies.

It's any mobs friendly to your faction and includes droids, turrets, tame animals etc. Basically any mob whose name is in green. So just to give one example, on Ilum, in the ruins where Republic players kill turrets, Imperials can heal and buff the turrets, as well as the repair droids, wandering Imperial troops and Sith.

It does not flag you for PVP.

You obviously can't heal mobs that are hostile to both factions such as wild animals, Killiks, White Maw pirates etc.
