These XI accusations are completely based on nothing. In my 6 YEARS in XI I saw plenty of fishing bots and crafting rmt but never a group of NM bots. In SIX YEARS I didn't see them on Asura. How can you possibly claim that it was a game breaking problem to any degree?

Also XIV arr has Unique & Untradeable category for items.

Let's entertain your horror scenarios for a second. For even RMT that don't get caught just what would be their reason to try to "farm" unfarmable items that cannot be given away? What possible gain could there ever be for that course of action?

NMs weren't a problem in XI it was one of the most enjoyable aspects of the game not only for endgamers but to people of all skill levels because they gave life and mystery to the barren landscapes.
A blinking arrow pointing to a FATE that get's repeated like clockwork in the exact same spot doesn't even begin to scratch that feeling of dynamic game world.
