If I need something and some1 else "claimed" it, I will most definitely take it if I'm closer. Calling dibs does not make the item yours.
I call dibs just to mark the items so that the marker doesn't disappear and I gather them up at my own pace if they're still there. I may even call dibs on things I don't need atm, but that could come in handy if I switch weapons. E.g., I may mark turbocharger and get it if I find a havoc and enough ammo or eventually cancel it (or the other way around).
What is annoying to me though is ppl who call dibs and never cancel that if they don't get it. Useless markers are annoying, especially if it's an item 2km away marked at start of the game.
I understand what you're trying to say about the marker not going away. It's annoying and really distracts you sometimes. I guess dibbing is just, in a way, telling people that you would want that item. You make a point about the fact that dibbing doesn't necessarily make the item yours, but it would usually mean to me, that the person wants it.
