[Dev 1009] Force Pop HNM's FTW

Where'd you get that data from? Your backside?

I think you'll find the casual noobs just cry louder and cry more for what they want. Most of the HNM fans didn't bother to post against a wall of ignorance. That was my downfall.

This (person you would consider because I don't cheat my patoot off) "casual noob" would rather see all "We Want Bots" Society of America (that is, most US HNM fans) to GTFO and go away!

(I have a better name for you, but I can't use it here!)

Is it really hard to understand that people don't want to farm Kindred Seals for 8 hours to pop a Fafnir, for the chance at popping a Nidhogg, King Behemoth or Aspidochelone?

Well...

Is it really hard to understand that people don't want to be outclaimed by bots and other illegal mechanisms and watch mobs pop purple for hours on end, with NO chance at popping a Nidhogg, King Behemoth or Aspidochelone?

I understand that side of the argument completely. However, there are better ways to deal with the issue than make KS99 the path to pop an old NM which popped freely for the past 8 years. Preferably one with much less work involved.
(You understand, I say this because the NM popped freely; if the treasure from the NMs had been upgraded, then I would understand all the leg work - but in this instance, it hasn't been upgraded. It's more work for the same results.)

Good players / noobs aren't differentiated between by the third-party tools they use. More by how much they suck when doing things. Or how much they cry in shout in Jeuno because people are using Windower.
