    Lottery Spawn Notorious Monsters

    I'm sure this has been brought up in the past but I have been unable to find the thread, so at the risk of starting a thread that will be trolled and flamed upon here is;


    In regards to Notorious Monsters that have placeholders could the Dev team please look in to making the monsters a flat repawn monster and remove the place holders all together?

    I'm sure that most of the members of the community would agree that these notorious monsters (most of whom are used in trial of the magian content) do not hold gear that is really sought after as it was back before the level cap, and therefore the possibility of having a Notorious monster that can spawn anywhere from 1-24+ hours after its defeat while players kill a "place holder" monsters hoping the next spawn will be the notorious one is frankly a waste of time, and extremely frustrating.
    I understand that the trials are not meant to be easy, but at the same time the game is meant to be enjoyable. I know that personally I would rather wait a fixed time knowing that a monster I need will spawn (because I took the time to find out the Time of Death) then killing monsters endlessly with false hope. I'm sure there could be some compromise made with the spawn ratio that would keep the balance. An example would be Deadly Dodo, instead of having to kill the two place holders starting every hour ever 5-6 minutes until the monster spawns, why not fix the respawn to 2 hours. This would keep a "balance" in that there is not 24 Deadly Dodos spawned a day, but not waste players valuble time.

    Lottery NMs have been the bane of my existance since I first started playing, I've been used and cheated to get them to spawn and then someone claiming and booting me. And the sheer annoyance of killing the same mob for sometimes five hours and still not seeing the notorious monster I need. Lottery Spawn NMs were really the only reason I didn't have empyreans yet because I hate them so much lol.
