i agree to a degree as i have to solo most things i want done as dont have much time for LS events or helping others so getting others to help on things like glavoid will be a pain when i get round to that so speedy low lvl nms for the trial would help a little hope to have my cake knife one day lol

Um, most of these NMs are lottery pops, and have no set respawn time. They can repop anytime after the first placeholder kill when you kill the NM.

This is true for most (if not all?) lottery NMs. It's just their chance to spawn is low enough that it usually takes many tries.

it's not about balance in the sense that most people are thinking

it's about the balance that SE owns at the bank

think of it from a business standpoint with all MMO's

if you're reaching your achievements within an hour or two, what is going to keep you subscribed for the rest of the time?

if you reach your goals quickly, they lose money.

if you don't ever reach your goals and eventually unsubscribe from the game, they gained money but lose to opportunity
for more from one measly subscription.

the devs aren't unsuccessful because they are making everything a grind; everything always was a grind.

the devs are unsuccessful because they've made it an uninteresting and generally unrewarding grind, where luck plays an equal factor to player stats.

Totally agree, but as you know, there is a retarded atrocious horrendous grind like FFXI, and there are extremely fun super addictive grind, say, FF Tactics series, FF13-2 collect monsters and breed them, those are just two that comes to mind. It is not that they are utterly clueless - but I think they are extremely lazy - to think that FF has one of the longest series and some of the BEST battle system, to not flat out implement some of them to FFXI is just a sad excuse and rather pathetic.
