That's "playing the game", how?
They should make NM's spawnable by Farmed items, and the Good items that are dropped by these NM's should be rare/ex and untradable, this stops the bot claiming and gives everyone a chance to get these items. This also stops the cornering of the markets by these LS's with no life that sit and camp NM's all day to rape every person out there for all the gil they have earned. The person who spawns the NM gets the drop (if one) and the strategy of said NM's should change dynamically each and every battle. This would make the game more challenging and encourage team playing by helping each other get these drops.
What I'm saying is that 24hr NMs add an extra layer of difficulty because eventually the "hard" mob wont be hard...the strat wont be difficulty and anyone with half a brain can kill it.
So......if you don't restrict it by a time limit or once a day spawn...everyone will have it like Silver Tricorne in 1month. Also needs to be a low drop rate.
I said this in another thread and got shot to shit for it but .... put all NM's in instances and dungeons ... raaarrr
Seriously though, do you really think that staring at the screen, waiting for an NM to pop for like 3 hours (sometimes at 3am midnight), competing with other screen staring zombies and bots in spamming /ma Dia XXX in a lag infested zone, then when it pops, the winner goes to the one with the best internet ping, then you feel like you have wasted 3hours of your sleeping time doing nothing is fun?
Games are supposed to be fun, that is not fun, that is a job, an unfair one too. I've had my fair share of being an FFXI slave, sure there were fun times, but things can still be fun and rewarding without depriving you of your life.
Ahhh.... How the NA forums always turn into flame fests some way or another...
