Seriously 3-5 minute repop on NMs?

[ValiantSota]

just need to let out a bit of my own personal opinion on this particular matter. Although my opinion is most likely going to be flooded by all the ranting and unnecessary criticism. The community seems to be split in half on what makes an NM and how long it should take for them to re-pop and such. Being a 8 year player of FFXI during the ps2 release I could say how much of a pain it was sitting for 2 hours straight camping certain mobs for a gear that would make my class more efficient all the while competing with gil sellers for that very same item. What I did like was actually getting to compete for the claim and the rush that you got from actually fighting a rare mob with a chance at getting a rare drop. If they could probably work on having a system that implements shorter waiting periods (say maybe 15-30 minutes) and maybe a fair drop rate that matches the time for each respawn then I'm pretty sure most people will be satisfied. This is just speaking for the NM's that are mid 30 below. As for higher lvl NM's that will be implemented later on, I think they should make those drops non-EX(also these items should be better then the mid 30 drops) and have it more difficult to obtain as well as longer re-pops. But hey that's just another opinion from a random individual, I wouldn't know what would be the down-side to my suggestion and how it would effect the economy lol ^_^;

I have to admit this goes hardly against crafters. "Equip" drop rate has to be lower !
Basically these NMs > crafters, NMs > wards. Its not in ballance.

I saw this in XI before on Ose.



I'm sorry you had such a bad experience in XI but no one cares.



Good design for what? People who cry?

1) Why would 2 people who are always 50 want the darkshell mail, it's not even good at 50.
2) Why would you need to team up with anyone if just sits up/repops instantly, you can solo it and get the drop in an hour.
3) Win the battle for what? How is there any meaning to anything if nothing feels like an accomplishment because you can do it in a day.

Oh, in FFXI I just paid people like you to burn life hours. No biggie. Valkrum emperor and argus were a waste of my time. Dink. Bought TYVM go get me something else.

It's hard to offend someone when what you're saying doesn't make much sense.

And it is pretty obvious you're still mad you never got in a good LS in XI because you keep bringing it up.

But what you have to realize though is not everyone is going to be rank 30 for the rest of their life in this game.

Sooner or later people are going to need something to do rather then just leveling up. Content has to be designed to last which means making items rare. However long it takes doesn't matter because obviously the level cap will probably increase multiple times but when it does happen things are going to have to be a little less easy.

Penegrine is really annoying I think he's going to Kilta status for me.

My FFXI shell was certainly better than yours is.

What are you talking about? How would you have even known my shell in XI?

If you hated XI so much why would you have invested anytime playing it?

I'd know. I see yours every day and chuckle because you migrated onto my XIV server. Remember?

No one "migrated" anywhere. They took a gamble with XI because it was dying and wanted to make money and keep people playing as long as possible.

Why do you think the races are the same as XI? Why do you think the hairstyles and cities mirror XI? They wanted XI players to come to XIV.

No, you're not that competitive in the end. Last of a dying breed, wandering from game to game without a real home. Keep walking is all I'm saying. Nothing personal. I've heard Rift is pretty hard core if you want to try this posture over there. Have you tried to get what you want from Trion? Maybe they'll pay you attention again.

There is no "breed" or hardcore or "casual" players. I don't even understand who you're even arguing too. Because one updated added content for lower level players doesn't mean anything. Low level NMs were a necessary part of the game just like they were in XI, it was not just for "casual" players or for you personally. There should be content for any player no matter how much time they have to invest to make the game enjoyable.

Square Enix stopped paying you attention years ago. The last 3 years of XI development have been trying to apologize for listening to you. My guess is that's why you ragequit and moved your shell to XIV.

The last 3 years of XI development? Abyssia was not 3 years ago, it was 2010, just after XIV was announced.

They took a gamble to make the game interesting for everyone and keep players. Not to make the game "better" for "casual" players.

Sorry. They're apologizing even more for listening to you here than there. You should have never left, XI was the only place you could ever remotely call home.

No one ever "listened" to anyone. SE did what they wanted to do.

You're just not strong enough to count around here, Visch. We don't want your product, and thus you won't be getting it because we're much too powerful for you to handle. You want an unreasonable game where your drops are common and everyone else's drops are rare. You want separation between you and everyone. You don't want your drops to be functionally as rare as everyone else's.

Again, what are you talking about?

If someone plays the game for 5 years they should have better gear then someone who started 6 months ago. It's only logical or else everyone would just "beat" the game and quit. The more time you invest, the better your character should be or else then there is no point in playing more then however long it takes to max out.

You're the one upset that someone is better then you.

But guess what? That is how the world works. No matter how "easy" they make this game someone will be better then you. In real life someone will always be better then you. It's a fact of life.

You think you deserve that advantage, which is why your shell craft bots. I'm sure that's the least shady thing your shell has done in its career, because you think you deserve to.

I'm really sick of your personal attacks. If you have to derail every thread by trying to start fights you shouldn't even be posting.

Wallets talk.

We'll see if SE wants to listen to the minority no-lifers represent.

more NM pops are better than waiting hours for 1 over camping area. some people do have real lives and SE will keep FFXIV a little casual/hardcore

This is the same logic/mindset to that of Gil buyers & botters, much of the time. But i do understand some of the time-sinks in FF11 for some people to justify buying drops.
(idc if you're a troll or not, just sayin')

I've met people who only play MMO's to "play" with the economy and just sit in town and make gil/gold. In turn, they would always pay guilds/LS's to raid for them for drops. I also didn't like it when LS's in FF11 sat in town offering to sell drops in shout all day after this became more abundant (made LS's more stale & greedy, imo). Especially when some LS's prioritize a potential buyer over a member.

Nothing you can really do about this kind of person, but that play-style isn't one i consider very fun.
