The reason for the change is simple - 1.0 players were asked whether we still wanted content like NMs which could only be claimed by a single person, or content which was more open that anyone could claim. The result was overwhelmingly in support of the later. Considering the abuse of NM claiming in FFXI by RMT, botters and obnoxious linkshells (*cough* Shikigami Weapon *cough cough*), this is only a good thing.
No no no no no....it's not a good thing it's just not!. Bring back single claim NM, bring back open world content, make the stuff you craft have a value on the market board, then maybe just maybe you will have a chance to make this game live upto it's potential!.

As for RMT claiming NM the solution is very simple make it so the said item that drops from the NM is rare/ex and unsellable on the Market Board!. I'm taking a wild guess at this but when most of you start playing MMO expect a challenge right?. If you want to play arcade game go dig out your Super Nintendo there's a great game called "Mario Kart". For the rest of us, we like a challenge and want harder content with higher rewards.
