Poll: Who wants classic FFXI style BCNM

[Cornyboob]

BCNM are not the same as a instanced dungeon, only similar in that they are instanced. Its more like a Instanced battle that requires farmable currency (not faction rep).

A dungeon instance would be expected to have trash mobs and boss mobs and require an hour to complete, a BCNm is usually 15-30 minutes with enrages and risk reward style play.

Pretty much similar in thought except the level cap. And we have CoP to show us how that worked out.

In BCNM it was a level capped fight for rewards. CoP dungeons was an entire dungeon and a fight level capped for the reward(eventual). In the end it's about the same if you put the reward part aside.

BCNM the rule was whoever's coins uses was the one looting so fight timeX6/X3 whatever
CoP dungeons, everyone involved get their reward.

The fact that coins are used is somewhat minor. It's all about the level cap.

I hope there is something similar but not excat..
like in FFXi BCNM, job was highly selective, unwanted job are nearly "forbiddden" to join a BCNM.. i hope it would not happen again, forcing ppl to play a certain job.

Coins are involved, of course there's going to be risk/reward system. Bitching about that is a pansy way out.

It's completely optional. If no one want your job because a strategy hasn't been developed for your job, then go farming for your income.

The beauty about BCNM is that it is in no way required and if you think you have bad luck anyway, not always good for the pockets.

You can't say Challenge and then double back and say "but make sure everyone can win it with any combination". Defeats the point of challenge.

That's one line I won't draw. If BCNM requires a 3 ninja strategy, then it's their coin. Maybe someone will do 2 ninja and a rdm, and make their coin useful, etc. That's why there's many BCNM in FF11.
