If you boil down what natenn been saying he enjoys about HNM is the claiming part. Whick is FFXI only open PvP in the game. Since the NQs were not hard at all and the HQs were mildly challenging easy if you done it over and over a dozen times you know the mobs never changed. There was challenging fights to be had outside of ground KS99s were a lot harder then thier NQ conter parts and T4 ZNM provided a decent challenge and team work was needed.
What you should really be asking for is open world PvP server, then you could have all the fun you can handle with pop NMs. You would have to have a group just to fend off other groups while killing the NM. Really claiming the mob shouldn't be the hardest part of the fight. I want the mobs to be hard and rewarding not fight over claim and kill in 5 to 10 mins for a 1 -5% drop rate.
