Any new HNM coming?

I have a superiority complex

Basically what your post amounts to.

As long as I can personally do well, I couldn't care less about anyone else.

Someone getting a great piece of gear I have isn't going to ruin my day, lol.

The HNM lovers really are the bottom of the barrel as far as players and people go. And SE want to cater to them? Dear lord.

[Draylo]

lol wow that is hilarious. Just because people like a challenge they are automatically at the bottom of the barrel, teehee.

Nothings challenging about openning a Bot. which is what most of Old-School HNM camping was. You can create a Challenge without a 21-24hr window.

Stop trollin!

So only you people who like competition deserve the gear that would come from these HNMs.

And you're saying that people who enjoy competition don't deserve to enjoy the game.

No you really can't. Either people will figure out a strategy that will allow them to always win or it'll be like oldschool AV and be completely impossible.

I already said how they you could make bots 100% useless on HNM's earlier. You just have the mob open to attack by anyone for about 5 seconds when it pops and then give claim to a random person on the hate list.

I may be misinterpreting your statement, and if i am I'm sorry, But Adding a 21-24 Hours window isn't going to make people not be able to figure out a Strategy for Easy win.

I mean, one was discovered for Fafnir, Nidhogg, Aspid, Adamantoise, Behemoth, King Behemoth, Dark Ixion, Sandworm and all his inside Buddies, Cerberus, Hydra, Khimaira, etc etc. For the most part, despite being 21-24hr nms, the hardest thing about them was Claiming against the other botters.

I apologize for confusion but i just don't see the connection between 21-24hour spawns and difficulty. You can make an NM have a short-spawn window, or a Force pop (look at Kirin back in the day, Byakko, etc).

It doesn't have to be as simple as "Kill x mob of x family, get x pop item for x NM" like it is in Abyssea, it could be a system like Sea, Sky, or ZNMs where you had to build up to the HNM.

This may not be directed at you, But i have a feeling all the people itching for 21-24hr world-claim NMs being the level 99 Kings of gear, are just the people who bought thousand dollar bots, only to have thousand-dollar wasted Computer Memory now because of what Abyssea had made the game, and they want the e-peen and false sense of superiority they had back when they ruled the FFXI endgame scene.

It's the superiority complex, not the wanting of challenge which makes them bottom of the barrel.

Though I don't know why I dignify a response on you.

This.

If Square offer these HNM in the way Faf/DI popped they are basically validating botting/scanners knowing what they do about how badly they were abused for years, if they do that then every single person that wants to fight them needs to get a bot cause the devs are basically telling you thats how they want the game to be.

It wont be cheating anymore it will be the valid claiming system the dev team selected cause they know they can't beat the botters.

The big endgame shells never liked competition they liked being able to cock block others with their better bots and having gear others could not get unless they bought it off them. I'm amazed a dev doesn't make a comment on the spawn system they intend to use seeing how many people are annoyed at the possibilities of the game returning to being the best = buying the best bot.

You appear to be incredibly upset over this situation. Perhaps you could cancel your account as to not further your pain.

I understand that when things don't go the way you want, you want to cry and blame other people for misfortunes, But it is simply not the solution. It can lead to medical problems due to excessive anger. I suggest stepping back from the game, and these forums, and enjoying an evening anger free.
