World spawning HNM

[Natenn]

Since my last thread got kinda a vague answer then gave us more instanced content i decided id ask again more specifically: will there be (at any point) new world spawning HNM with long windows? Such as old 3 kings system, SW/DI, Aht urghan kings,or CoP Wyrms. At the moment many of my friends are quiting because everything worth doing is instanced. I miss the rush from claiming over competition so do they. Has there been any discussion on this matter even? I was assuming by Lv99 or a few updates after Lv99 there would be at least 1-3 new HNM that were campable with 20hr+ windows. So anyway question stands to the FFXI development team: will there be any new world spawning HNM for us to hunt? Or are all "HNM" from now on gonna be instanced events(??? pops, BCNM ect.)?

This is not a flame anti HNM thread, complaints are to be taken elsewhere please.

Hopefully I won't come off as rude as this is not my intention, but... your friends are upset enough to quit simply because they can't block other people from getting a NM they want?

This situation seems exactly the type of thing SE is trying to avoid in future content. Otherwise, I don't see why they changed the 3 kings and added voidwatch. Unfortunately (for you), the new content seems to suggest a departure from that old system and I'd say most people probably welcome it.

That said, I can understand longing for a time when rare items really were "rare." Even if you never got some uber piece of gear, it was something to work towards.

OT:
I hope not. I've seen my share of people leave mules in certain zones, some even lived there. Personally I don't like the game to play me, I prefer to play the game instead.

sorry, i feel very passionately about this, and as proven on bg, where people WHO DO THESE THINGS, exist on a much larger scale than here, so do a lot of other people, and as long as you continue to insist making these threads, i will insist on coming to put my 2 cents in


and since when are world pop hnms considered players?

This is the second best post ever.

To the OP, I'm sorry your friends quit because they suddenly couldn't bot their way to being leet and actually have to work for it in the new system, but I really hope they don't add new versions of the old crap content pretty much everyone hated. If SE could actually do something about bots, I wouldn't mind. Legitimately claiming stuff was always fun, and it's fun to be in the LS everyone is checking while fighting stuff and they QQ in say at you, but that part of FFXI is over, leave it dead and move on.
