I totally agree with this. I always found that sitting on my butt "waiting" for something to happen or spawn was a huge waste of time.
I love the "theme park" mechanic, because pretty much gives you content when you need it, not when the game wants you to have have it. That's not challenge, it's silly and unnecessary..

Its funny how you mention a "theme park" style content for endgame, but then totally bash one style because you dont like it. Its like going to a theme park and not liking roller coasters so you demand they get rid of or not install them. In a theme park style of endgame content, all types of content should be available, not just what you like. Some ppl like the long spawn timers some dont. get over yourself.

Some roller coasters is down right boring compared to other faster better ones. The majority will go to whats more fun, which is good business for the theme park.

So you want your theme park to have one roller coaster, good luck making money.

or multiples of the same, either way, not a good idea.

who in their right mind will have one roller coaster? then again who in their right mind will put a slow one? You get the idea right? I doubt anyone will wait for that slow one to arrive. anyways enough about rides..

edit: I just want to say, hardcore should not be a slow process, it should be about difficultly and challenge, in a fun way.

Some people do, dont speak for them. actually dont speak for anyone but yourself. thanks

You want a theme park of content for xiv 2.0. Theme parks have all different rides (coasters, water slides, pirate ships, etc.) to draw in as many different types of people they can to make money. XIV needs as many different, fun, entertaining, and lasting content to do the same. Long spawn HNM, instances, primal battles, etc. are all to draw in as many different people as possible and make the game entertaining to the masses. If you dont like one type of content, thats fine! there would be plenty of different things to do in this theme park of content. Dont assume that just because you dont like it or find it boring that everyone does. Its just ignorant. I bet there are enough people out there that like this type of content to justify making it.

if you read my edit you might understand better. to top it off the majority has spoken in threads months before this one. its not desired by a lot, only a few. regarding the slow timers.

edit: just want to add, long spawn timers was done away with in xi. as i said before they can be trigger popped.

Still limiting your theme park and keeping people out of content they want. Its not for you to decide what type of content they enjoy, please understand that.

yet you put a blind eye on the issue. i think its a matter of fairness for those who don't have time to wait on a hnm.

a solution to this is to make them trigger popped as i said before again. it can be done in a fashion where you can obtain the triggers in instances and bosses battle. once all key items is acquired you can pop the hnm associated with those items.

the results from this idea is positive and it promotes teamwork and goals. no time is lost camping in my opinion.

The thread became about claim bots as soon as it shifted to daily pop NM's. They are synonymous with each other.

Let's talk about sandwiches next, bread is off limits as a topic though, there are already enough threads on bread.
