If I may ask a question, are the devs still so out of touch with the player base that they believe difficulty of killing the three kings had anything to do with anything beyond getting claim?

At 75, a lot of those NM's were easy to fight with low numbers, so they were already easy. Being that a lot of the gear that drops from these NM's are outdated, there really isn't any reason why these NM's should be on a 21-24 hour timer.

It appears that the focus on the game is to alleviate time restrictions or time sinks via updates to make the game more readily available to players who don't have a lot of time (Changes to FoV, Upcoming Dynamis changes, etc). There really isn't any need to keep NM's on a 21-24 hour timer anymore, and should be put on a standard 2 hour timer.

Let's go one step further and make Fafnir a lottery from the Darters, or Behemoth a lottery out of Light Elementals!

I have a better idea. Make it 5 KS to pop the 99KS wyrm. Much easier to get and do a ton of than camping lottery pops!

There was nothing hard about the actual fights, unless you count the fighting between LS waiting for Kings to pop.

Nail. Head. etc.

I think being level 90 made it easier for the people who didn't have access to a competent LS, friends etc. I mean, you have to admit that you see A LOT more people with a black belt on now than before.
So I agree with the community rep. that the level cap has actually made it easier than before.

I think the integrity of the game has already been destroyed. I would like the dev team to start putting it back in by makeing the old content relevant again. example take the af from dynamis and make it part of the needed items for 99 gears.
