If I log-in to the game, I want to actually play it, not stare at the screen waiting for the NM to pop.

    I'm completely fine with pop NMs, but NMs that require camping? Sorry, but I'd rather not see crap mechanics like that in a game ever again.
    There really shouldn't be any problem with 1.0's system of NMs then.

    Baring a few NMs that required special "conditions" to pop, most of them popped every 5 minutes.

    This was far better than FFXI's: An NM might pop... maybe... in about an hour... maybe 7 hours... if you kill all the regular monsters around first to make it lottery pop... yeah good luck buddy.
    Lets not even talk about those 24-72 hour, once a week, or maybe once or twice a year (no friggin joke) NMs.
    There was literally this one tiger NM in Batallia Downs that popped once a year randomly.
