Don't you just wish? I consider elitists/hardcores to be worse than outright noobs.
But hey let me relate a story of when I wasn't much better than a newbie myself: The year was 2006, and it was scarcely six months after I first started playing FFxi. My shell leader at the time asked me if I was interested in becoming useful for HNM runs, said they would spouncer my development (or something to that effect). Me, being the skeptical newbie that I was, asked them what a HNM was.
They explained it to me as monsters the size of buildings that can ruin your day if everyone wasn't On the same page. I must admit that I got stoked. Huge monsters and large groups of people aligning to fight against an unimaginable horror?! That's what I started to play FFxi for!
...
And then the other shoe dropped. He explained to me that the monsters in question only spawned about once every real time week. And then he explained that the gear the mobs dropped wasn't significantly better than anything outside of HNMs and they had terrible drop rates for what you had to do to get them.
At that point I heard enough. I turned them down expressing my disbelief that anyone would waste their time camping the HNM. It was a terrible idea then. It a worse one now.
omg I have to put effort into getting the best belt for mnk even at 99, qq.
dude ur being a troll at this point and can be reported on. I put more effort into ffxi them most ppl realise. I bust my butt solo-ing most anything I need while helping others. I rarely ask for help. every peice of gear i got, i got by myself. with little to no help. And when i do ask for help, I don't ask for stuff to be done for me. Heck i don't even leech my levels or do burn pts.
i went during times i could make. But in the enjd black belt isd just data in a computer of a mmorpg. Once i log off the game it don't matter.
In the upcoming expansion they plan to make instanced dungeons. Might not be that much of a stretch to see them do that for the new HNMs. Everyone is happy and gets to die equally!
@Habu
How about you go play a game that requires actual skill to beat others? I believe there is a whole genre... starts with an f... or right fighting games. Why don't you go and be hardcore over there, you'll get all the competition you want and then some. And if fighting games don't fit your idea of hardcore player, then have fun over in ranked matches on LoL plenty of hardcore players to be found there. Still not to your tastes? then how about an action game, Monster hunter is pretty hardcore, Dark souls also comes to mind.

It doesn't take much to know when someone is special. After 5 minutes if the person is alive and well you have a keeper, if they are dead and obnoxious then toss em like two day old leftovers.
i figured ur one of those ppl... fps ppl have no idea what skill or hardcore is all they know is shoting ppl =points.
in reality no one here is crying. Just because no one want 24 hr nms don't mean we are not crying for "easymode" content. time soend waiting for somethingis npt putting in effort. Cuz in reality most of the time ur AFK doing other stuff and not actively playing. (well i stated infront of my tv outside food and restroom while hunting moloburger for 24hrs. Now this was to get tod I had to get up @ 6am on a work day to claim the fker.
Asking for content to be avalable at DECENT times is not asking to be handed stuff.
how about this... WHY time based mobs fun? how are time based mob hunt putting in effort? any reply outside habu out side of what i'm asking can be seen as a troll reply and can easily report u for the insulting way you've been posting.

in honestly ppl rarely got upset @ claim wars unless it was an abvious bot (which ya u can point out a bot easy by lack of gear, being under lvled and being a tarutaru.) which is a banable offence. Only time i sawdrama over an hnm is when my dynamis LS tried doing hnm and 2 of our members helped their hnm LS claim it for them. but really no one was all that upset... its just a game after all.
