    This thread has taken the a most hilarious turn. So I'll say this, if you don't want to 'waste' the time camping trial NMs, then don't. No one is forcing you. Trial weapons are not essential to playing the game and having a good time.

    With all the empyrean weapon wielders running around, SE has no obligation to change the 10 year old system of lottery spawn NMs. You seem to forget they want you to waste your time so they can still get paid. Still, I want to know if you checked the magian spectacles to see if you got credit instead of complaining about it.

    I agree with this 100%, and it's not like every trial NM takes 8 hours anyway. I've done 5 weapon trials and I could count on one hand the amount of times it's taken more than 3 hours to pop.

    There is more to FFXI than Abyssea.

    There are some extreme cases, yes. But these trials are specifically designed to take a certain amount of time (as an average). It's the lack of consistency in the time through, that makes it so frustrating. Someone else might be doing the same trials as you and finish it in half the time (while others might take way longer than you).

    No not the NM killing is the waste of time, the idle time while you dont know if it popped just at a place you were not looking or if someone killed it while you went to get your food or took a dump.

    I know, there are players that havent to do anyting but ffxi so they dont give a damn about time sitting around doing nothing in ffxi. but there are also ppl that think this is bullshit

    if you just sit in one spot, it's your own dang fault if you missed the NM popping out of your vision range...

    Sounds to me like he didn't know which mob was the PH. Sometime with obscure NM's this information isn't on the Wiki and people have to figure out the PH and it's spawn patterns for themselves. It's not always obvious which is the PH because it may actually spawn in other places than the NM's spawn location (e.g. Intulo) and sometimes the Wiki information is just wrong (Megalobugard's wiki info was wrong for years)

    no there arent nms that can spawn in a FRIGGIN huge area which cant be seen in visual range just like that. they all exactly in front of you with not reason to run around.

    and I dont know about you, but I dont play FFXI while pooping or cooking. and no you cant allways wait till the next pop when nature calls

    Part of the game's appeal is it's oldschool design. If you don't like the fact that this is an EQ clone then why are you playing it? There are plenty of MMOs out there that are closer to what you want.

    Yes actually there are, Black Triple Stars and Deadly Dodo are two such NM's But you should be using /RNG when NM hunting away.

    Why aren't you teaming up with others to get the spawn?

    yeah right, because not everyone kisses blind the behinds that are shown to him, he should stop playing a game. Yay!
