Instance content can i have it?

[svengalis]

I think a lot of people misunderstood me in that last thread. I would really like It if NM were instance so I am not wasting so much time online or something similar.
(Especially in a timed zoned it just makes me want quit again)

I shouldn't have to wait until someone else pops a NM and kills it before my group has a chance at it. l really want my kannagi.
BTW I don't need to any discussion on this, this post is for the developers so please don't post in my thread if you are not a se employee.

Bolded to make my point. It seems kinda silly to demand to have everything you want it the instant you want it. I may not speak for SE but I highly doubt they're going to reply to a "give me this, I really want X item." You ever think that they were meant to be separate because Empyreals are "special" items?

I mean really, show a little patience man.

My only issue with popped items is people bot popping, I've had my run in on people bot popping the Lizzard in Mis. coast Abyssea and Chloris.

And you can tell when they do it especially when the ??? appears a second and its gone, I can't compete against people who do that and i cannot GM because what proof do I have other than them staring at the ground where the ??? used to be.

FFXI doesn't support true instancing and this late in the game's life they aren't going to do the overhaul necessary to implement it.

"Instanced" zones in FFXI are really just one zone with multiple identical copies of the same area. Due to size maximum size constraints on zones they can only do this with small areas because they all have to fit inside one large zone.

Exactly, which is why BCs are limited to, I think, 3 simultaneous parties. Not that instanced content doesn't have its place, its just not really FFXI's thing. Never has been, never will be. This is a forced grouping game, SE wants us to do things together. The only real downfall is most people are too blind too see that helping others helps them in the long run.

If you're talking about ??? where you trade a rare item to pop a NM then it's a macro not a bot. Most people make trade macros so they don't have to bother opening the menu. It takes far too long to do it from menu and a macro is much more efficient.

No, you can't.

True instancing is not possible with the game's engine. The closest the game comes to instancing is having multiple copies of a given place stacked on top of eachother out of shout distance to give the illusion of instancing. These areas (the BCNM, assault and other similar areas) actually have a limited capacity unlike instances in other games.

Actually I pointed out Chloris. You have to axtually confrim KI and then Press yes. When botters do it, its instant.

If you have a controller all you have to do is mash the confirm button and hold up, and it pops stuff. I can pop KI pops in under a second.

I fixed your spelling too~

Just relax. This game is like fine wine. You don't guzzle down the wine, you take small drinks to savior the flavor and experience the flavor at its fullest.

If you don't understand what I said, think of it like this. There are many things to do in this game. Trying to get your katana is just one thing you can do, and by rushing it, you won't be able to appreciate the katana for all the hard work it takes to obtain it.

Its like getting a relic off of a lottery......oh wait, nvm.
