Sure the HQs are 100% but odds are you'll have more competition camping HQs and they pop only every 4 days at most.

With an alliance of 3 you have a chance at 3 seals every 5 mins you can potentially get a pop every 3 hrs or so. Even doubling that time if you just spend a couple hrs a day farming you're more likely to get a pop then you would from camping. Until we see the droprate off HQs you can't really say whether it's a terrible waste of time but at this time it's about the same amount of time spent camping given that there's always a chance you'll lose claim. Not only that but you'll be able to farm at your leisure.
Hurr Durr.

Yes the NQ drop rates are not the best, but many people have still gotten their BB items from them.

It does not give credibility to your ridiculous "hey guys lets go be incedibly bored as a six man group for THREE hours" nonsense. Most likely people will not be out as a group of six farming KS. It would be a person soloing them or a group of two maybe three tops on average. It is still a slap in the face.

SE: "Hey new people who came into this game in a time where KS no longer drop on mobs people actually fight (you know those abyssean ones) because clearly only KC should drop on a mob, go spend your time doing something mind numbingly boring!"
New MNKs: "Sounds good to me!"
