You're right, a legitimate player will never outclaim DI/SW vs packet ID scanner, or staggered bots. I don't need anyone to explain to me how they work.
I enjoy the claiming competition and the challenging/rare fights.
There's absolutely no reason both types of player can't be catered for. It was done in the past, it can be done now (Kings : Salvage, as an example).
It's evident that some people really detest the HNM/old end-game scene, and that's fine. It's definitely not for everyone. For those who do enjoy it, letting it die is a shame. Again - no one is asking for Abyssea content to be removed, or for less of such accessible content. Keep it coming; but throwing in the odd HNM every now and then isn't going to hurt anyone.
MMOs in general are designed for people with varying levels of free time - and content available should match that. If you don't have many hours to play - then there should be easily accessible content available. If you are fortunate enough to have more time to play - then there should be tougher content available too.
It doesn't come down to "not having skill to play an FPS", that's just silly. Is it really difficult to believe that some people just enjoy that type of HNM content? We all have our own tastes, likes and dislikes. Don't impose yours upon others.
