Considering most people do other things now

Kill off lottery spawns for old NMs, just make them pop with items dropped off the regular monsters of that zone.

Do what they should have done to begin with. Get rid of EVERY NM and change them to forced pops.

SO much of this. Seriously, for a game where SE-for the most part-blocked PVP why do we all have to be in competition to beat content like NMs, especially those that are required for progression? I thought I was supposed to be killing the NM, not fighting "Bob" over there for today's chance at the NM's drop?

Not only that but it kills the community when your nm gets stolen and the person stealing who was once friendly has turned into a complete asshole.

i guess im lucky as ive never had a mob stolen from me. that said if i give up claim for w/e reason i deserve to lose the nm. if i dont use block aid to stop people from using cure to grab hate i deserve it took from me. any nm not in seekers isnt that hard. and if your friends are stealing from u then find new friends ..

Never said friends, and I mean that a 48 hour - 72 hour pop hnm that you seem to have no competition for, goes completely awry when out of nowhere a PLD flash pulls it -right- at the second when it pops. Not only is that unsettling, it makes users feel like their hard work is for nothing. So anyone who goes "It was tough for me so it should be tough for them" Seriously gtf over yourself already. This isn't the stone age anymore so if SE can't compromise with their playerbase to get rid of these absurdly long repop times for items that are mediocre compared to the newest equipment then I'm sorry but it's either something changes or they keep losing customers.

Bump, so I had a brainstorming session last night and I got to thinking, perhaps if they did a KSNM thing with some of the old HNM's like they did with faffy, behemoth, and ada. Like for Khimaira there's a fight where you can get a pop item for him. It wouldn't be easy to get, but then again it wouldn't be impossible either. People would actually have a chance at getting to it, so devs PLEASE consider that. Also with Hydra and Cerb, those could be just like the previous nm's. I could even take the time to put in things like the name of the items used to spawn said items (Such as something along the lines of a Honeycake -since it was used in a legend where Cerberus was lured to sleep with a drugged Honeycake) it would at least fit, and eliminate the stress that current players face who want to get their hands on some of the older stuff, and of course help their friends.
