Precisely. I see no issue with balancing instances and open world NMs. Everyone gets a little bit of what they want.
As was pointed out, a lot of people actually miss the FFXI camping days. I appreciate that camping for 3 hours wasn't for everyone, but I think it's a mistake to reduce it to irrelevance.
they did this on XI with claim block. Random block between 1.5secs and 3 secs after it spawned (server time) before it could be claimed and attempting to claim would put your ability on cooldown even if it failed.
Server latency seems to be around 1/2 sec or very slightly over it for most ppl. So the same claim block system should work.
