Seriously 3-5 minute repop on NMs?

If respawns were decreased to say 30 min-1 hour respawns, that would still be a challenge.

That's not a challenge. That's called a timesink.

I love to spot a RARE sight randomly on the fields on Vana'diel. It keeps the world feeling like it's full of mysteries(which it is). Also walking or riding a chocobo is more fun because of it as you just might run into something you've never seen before.

XIV: not that much to discover in or on the fields.

Then they should probably not tie rare sights with Hax gear, or make it so that what makes it rare is what is required to make it appear

Not if the NM is dropping an NM drop 100% of the time. It is only a time sink if you have to wait an hour to kill a mob that only has a 15% chance of dropping their item.

All MMOs... no, all videogames in general are timesinks xD get used to it

well if people want longer spawn times they can just wait for a few hours or days between trying to claim it same thing right.

It is kinda sad how everyone and their mothers got those NM drops within the first week of their release. Nothing is rare, everything is common, everyone has everything, very boring imo.

Oh yeah, i've been preaching this since those NMs were released and I saw they had a 3 min spawn time -_- I mean... even the normal mobs have a longer spawn time, that is just pathetic! Now all those NMs just sit up with no one killing them, who saw that coming... I don't log on these forms much anymore because most people on here are delusional, honestly.

LOL! Really? knowing that somewhere in the game there is a NM not being camped hurts that much? When something that doesn't affect you at all keeps you awake, and you dream of forcing your ideas of fun down others' throats, it might be time to go see a shrink...

What are you talking about? I'm just saying it's kinda pathetic how easy it all is. Calm down brah. If I wanted to play a game that resided under a communism community where everyone had everything and everyone was exactly the same then I would go play some freebie cash shop korean mmo.

To be honest, I welcome the fast respawn times, at least for the lower level equipment NMs. As much as I wish it wasn't so, I don't have the kind of time that I used to to wake up at obscure hours of the morning to try and claim an NM that five other people are camping which also has a 12% drop rate. It certainly is a welcome addition after taking years of abuse on XI.

However, I also understand that it diminishes the satisfaction of obtaining that Rare/Ex equip. Hopefully they can balance it out by possibly adding rare or very hard to get pop items for NMs that just have a much better drop rate than their previous counterparts.
