According to BG, although there is a dislike for HNMs, there very clearly is still a desire for them.
It's not one sided, it's just a lot of people don't use these boards.
I think people DO WANT new world NM/HNMs, they just don't want them to encourage cheating.
A rare HNM should only take 12-24hrs to spawn and it should pop in various areas and zones to avoid monopolization.
The drops shouldn't be the best, more so alternatives or situational gear or gil items. This will avoid the nessicary to bot them. It's obvious more are against it, but according to that poll, is anything but on sided.
People do want them and enough want them that they should be added. I just don't think the people who dont want them should feel forced to camp them.
It should be something fun to add.
P.S to those derailing, stop please. I want to see a dev respond to this.
