If you're running around camping any NMs and aren't prepared for the pop, then you're the one lacking the skill, not the player who can't stay up for 72 hours waiting for a single NM to pop.

right, it was a example about a gaming skill, something you do no not understand.
Botting 24h pops is not exactly a skill or dedication. What is that remark you posted 2 times earlier? JP player laugh about bla... are you serious? are you that much of a pity fanboy? you care that much what others think?
I have a lot of jp friends ( i live in asia) and i do know some jp player who did spend more than 2-4 RL years (gaming time) in FFXI. Those are not the norm and certainly nothing to be proud off, they are sad veggies.
Having time to play a MMO is cool, there are weekends where i sit my 8-10 hours a day on FF but not every day and certainly not every night. Dude get real. 24h pops?
I myself remember times when i did set alarm at night just to water my plants in my moghouse. never again.
Damn, what is it with the lil westerner and US fanboys? Crazy kids call themselves otaku and think they are all cool or something. There is nothing cool about it.
Moth and scareface go look up gamer addict and find some online self help. You to are acting like NEETs or no life gamers. Sorry but claiming an nm is easy. Its killing it is what really matters. I out claimed most japanes or rmt. Infact. I was home sick one day with a temp of 100+ i took time to see about getting me a pair of okote befire the maint that day. The nm pops I out pulled 2 others and got the item. Then i come to find out it wasn't even worth it. I saw no difference in my dmg as mnk nin or sam. I ended uo getting sicker that day also. I had a bronci (somthing) infection that i get once a year or every other year since the christmas of 1998. not being able to breath sucked. And getting sicker wasn't great either.
oh 24 hour pops huh? why not make it pop invisible, run around with double speed, make it only aggro magic and stuff it in a small zone filled with other mobs aggroing magic....hmmm that sounds kinda familiar. (god i really really hate that XI nm)
but on a serious note, i have more than enough time on my hands to play this game but waiting for a 24 hour pop is not how i want to spend that time, it has nothing to do with adventure, its simply "WAITING IN LINE:THE GAME" and thats not fun.
im not against special nms hell i always though that "the unbeatable AV" had a certain charm as a monster in vanadiel, but when it just evolves into "the guy with the bigger pile of poopsocks next to his desk wins" its rediculous.
Soooo, waiting for hours for a mob to pop doesmake you better? Stronger? higher level? better geared? Everyone should have their place in a game, who are you to tell the others where/where not their place is? Come back to earth, people play games to have fun, they play MMOs to have fun with their friends. And when I say play, I mean play, not sit in front of the screen waiting for hours for something to happen.
Time sink is no challenge, it is time sink. No 24hours pop, all right with force pop and epic battles.
Oh yeah, the difficulty to stay awake until 3 in the morning to be there when it pops and have to go to work at 9am (without having had the claim of course)? The difficulty to wait for hours without just dying of boredomeness? I'm very curious about what 'difficulties' you are talking about.
