    Well they don't need to add more monsters to Monstrosity, honestly just add some sort of reward or reason to have a species capped. Like how we get a KI for monster raising and can only have one cheer active at once. Make each species grant a special Monstrosity Bonus if you have all the monsters at level 99 within a species, something like +10 MAB +10 Macc for amorphs, +10 STR +10 DEX for beats and so forth. Not huge but good enough considering the investment, and would get people doing that content again.

    Monstrosity is actually fun, you can go back and revisit old camps and zones while having a good time. I also really wish they would let us party up, no reason why three players can't join into a single monstrosity party with the same XP system that regular players have.

    Apoc with both Catastrophe and Entropy gives you crazy sustain of both HP and MP. With the Haste aftermath you can wear a ton of -PDT and solo almost any 75 content.
    Doing damage is for WAR's, DRK is about soloing 75 content yo.....

    There are a lot of little, easy things they could do to make Monstrosity more attractive to folks. Key item rewards, monster parties, different zones and battlefields, sure. But how about...

    They could turn on normal drop rules - it wouldn't have much of an impact on the economy because you can already cruise through zones on BLU or BLM and safely aoe everything. They could've tied Monstrosity to Monster Rearing, getting level 99 on a species could've unlocked new monsters for your garden. They could've added a second bazaar so you could set a loot pool for yourself to make it more attractive for gladiators to try to take you out - they could've made that be the way to transfer r/e gear off-POL-ID. They could've made the the currency (infamy & prestige) actually useful for something other than unlocking new species or getting exp bonus. They could add statues for your MH for each species you 99. They could've tied Monstrosity to jobs that rely on mobs, like BLU and BST - give a boost to learning BLU spells from mobs based on your monstrosity lvl of the species, or make your BST pets stronger or charm success rate higher.

    So. Much. Potential. Just need a little imagination, flexibility, time and budget. Oh...
