Now look at it this way, every NM has a higher chance of dropping 100pieces including key NMs for ToM, Attasin, MegaBoss, ect, can you imagine a person/s literally chaining NM's around the zone all day long every day, it would certainly be doable. Now think what if 50 people started doing this in a zone it could be insane to get anything done especially if your dealing with greifers.
However, upping the level of the mobs would significantly hurt these potential types of players for several reasons.
1. Players do not have Atmas to turn them into demi-gods. It's a lv90 player vs. EM and up, not lv90 player with +200 stats vs EM and up.
2. Most players are underskilled from speed-leveling in Abyssea which makes a difference facing toe-to-toe with a EM or tougher mob.
3. Many Abyssian era players often have little experience with the game outside of Abyssea. Coped with most non-Abyssea mobs pose little challenge for a lv90, it's hard for players to know or get a feel of what its like to face something that could easily eat their face while still killable within reason.
