Trial NM's

[Anapingofness]

Everyone else who wanted an empyrean successfully camped these NMs and completed the trials. Why do you think you're a special snowflake that they should change the game for?

Speak for yourself. I wouldn't want this time wasting crap on my worst enemy. Furthermore, the way the bloody trials are now (specifically the NM camping at start) is deterring me for doing this for other jobs.

It's players like you that keep this game in the bloody stone ages. Just because you, me, and countless others had to go through this crap doesn't mean that newer players should have to. It also doesn't mean that we should have to go through the same crap if we wanted another weapon.

no idea what you're talking about, if its something in one of the in game SS's, I took both those off google, only the staff I took in-game.

Noone said you were talking about VNMS I said they should turn all the spawn NM into VNMS.

to clarify, im NOT talking about VWmn's

im talking about the normal low level, lottery spawn nm's in the various zones

liek serpapard ishtar, tottering toby, drooling daisy, megalobugard, etc

the VWnm's are fine as-is

the other nm's however, need to be either lowered to 1 required kill, or have them respawn every 10-30 minutes

He didn't even experience half of what this game has to offer and he quits?

True story I got a friend to play FFXI he bought the downloadable abyssea edition for $10. He leveled up well we helped him a lot in abyssea. Then he got started on making the H2H weapon and he didn't like the camp weak NMs for hours part and stopped playing FFXI only after about 2 months.

Its true that if you haven't played FFXI for a long time, most people would not be able to put up with camping lottery spawn nms for hours on end.

SE could get rid of the whole camp weak nms part and just start on VNMs. The newer upgrades shield and harp don't even have a weak NM phase because I think by then SE knew that people didn't want to do that crap and they very well could of had it. If they don't want to change that much of the game they can easily shorten repop times to 5 min and have them just pop instead of lottery. FFXIV has this and it works fine. Many quests in FFXIV require killing NMs and its not big of a deal because they have a 5 min repop and just pop in to the game and are not lottery.

Many don't even make it that far, and I don't blame them. We all have our own tastes and FFXI is a VERY acquired one.
Call me a hypocrite, but even though I play it I tend to steer people away from it for their own good.
