My fav ones were the ones w/ good gear, who had the play style of a 10 year old and were easily put aside by average gear players who knew what they were doing. Like those people who used ridill for who knows how long after the 2hand update and thought they were better than everyone else while they were doing it, lol.

But but but I thought HNMs were super challenging and you had to be awesome to kill them?

So you are calling me retarded? Im am offended by your statement greatly and am outraged, i have a family member who is retarded and you dare mock them? I will report this outrage.

Hey SE, soon as you announced new HNM i told my ex ffxi ppl who quit to go play WoW and like not even 3m later i had 5 ppl saying they'll come back to FFXI if they're world spawn HNM. Now im only 1 person and i got 5 ppl ready to pay $12 a month again, theres prolly a ton of other ppl that would be back to. Smart move on your part, though the ppl sulking about it might not like it they won't quit/deactivate their account, not enough of them vs the amount that would be back. SE aim is to profit like any other company in the world, they'll do w/e brings in the most cash for them. Am i wrong?

If you wanna go there, the best way to make money in an MMO is to target the largest audience, the largest audience is not the 100-200 people that did HNM. The people that would quit at the only endgame being stuff people can't do would far outweigh the tards that you mention. Most of the shells I know that disbanded and the leaders quit cause of Abyssea were the shells that sold all the events gear they got for obvious reasons.. game is far better off with them gone.

New HNM should involve luck claiming AND intellect to kill it afterward. Now when i say intellect i mean something that requires every member of your party to be on the ball. A ??? NM like AV was a little extreme, everyone knew how to kill it but it required everyone to have a MDT set, be skilled at their job, ect. right now all most ppl are doing are crying because they scared of not claiming. Im sure the new BCNMs for KC/HKC will drop the stuff that the new HNM drop, only at a lower rate. But, this is only my speculation mind you.

yea but ppl won't quit bc HNM added, 100-200 ppl will be back per server. 1000-2000 ppl comming back x $12 a month at least = $ for SE.

Agreed. Nothing sucked more than getting your first job to 75 thinking you're going to have so much fun only to realize that you were stuck to your linkshell leader's schedule of events. Abyssea is awesome because there is always something to do, enough gear to placate more casual players as well as items that give you a fair amount of clout because of the amount of work you were willing to put into getting it. This whole paranoia that FFXI is on easymode and that a new player is going to sweep up black belts and Ridills is rediculous - it's just not going to happen and it just seems like an attempt to make the accomplishments of clearing your schedule and showing up to something on time have meaning. Just because a player has enough time in their schedule to get a +2 peice doesn't mean they have the time, drive or connections to get an Ukonvarasa too.

There's a difference between actual difficulty and poor play design. The old HNM system was the later and instead of going back down the path of excluding certain players from content and gear, new methods of competition and reward need to be explored.

Luck =/= skill. Name one good reason for a luck based system for claim.

Everyone doing the same thing every day is silly. Why give NMs titles if everyone else on the server has it to?

Why do you care what everyone else is doing? "Oh hey, they like to do this too, so it's not cool anymore"
