Notorious Monsters don't fit in this game.

[indira]

everyone wanted this, now you got it and not happy??

they gave you content that wont even last 1 minute and your mad? i thought no one had time to play a mmo. they gave you warps to everything in the game because you dont have time to walk there, they even made the zone super tiny. even gave you the advantage of instant airships & ferrys.
thing were too hard so they mad them easier like PS, AK, 1st coil, primals even though people still fail they get mad even when your gearscore is way OP for the content. after two betas and a couple of surveys between ARR & 1.0 people said the game was perfect.
didnt like anything about FFXI being in FFXIV yet all the new content is like trash versions of said content lmao.

i dont know about you guys.

Yeah. The atherite system makes it virtually impossible to have NMs work like they used to. Accessibility has kind of ruined the appeal.

Not to mention the world size compared to before, I'm almost convinced our mount and walk speed is faster in 2.0 (the addition of a sprint function may have deluded me a bit, but it certainly felt slower in 1.23);

you also froget the lack of danger in ARR

Yup, cotton-padded world.

[indira]

you also froget the lack of danger in ARR you can go anywhere not even come close to dying maybe get lamed but i think you survive, the game has no ounce of epicness.
1.0 had hard to get to areas of the map some areas even had mobs that would just about one shot you, like the strongholds in 1.0 had NM's & had tons of monster that would make you run if your solo in ARR everything in there was made for soloing.

[HeroSamson]

Yes they would, if they do it like gods from FFXI where you get each item from different places and trade to a ???

Nobody can touch only the people from your party and Loot.

Teleport should cost anima again.
At the end of the week most NM hunters would be out of anima.

even in 1.0 most NM were in reach of an Aetherite.

The Goblin NM is up? No problem.
Teleport to Camp Emerald Moos, touch the Aetherite to teleport to Treespeak, then just run for 1-2 minutes to get in position.

Say what you will about 1.0s graphical decisions, but hunt nms on those kinds of maps would be pretty interesting. Especially if you kept difficult mobs on hand with it.

I think you nailed it down.

There was no difficulty to hunt NMs in Black Shroud.
Except the ones in west shroud which you only needed for the moogle king quest. Every other NMs in the Black Shroud were in save areas. And you know where they would be. And if they were dead, you just waited 10 minutes for the respawn.

[Mergadeth]

Then again, it allows people who don't raid to upgrade their gear.

Unless the people who Do raid monopolize the hunts, preventing people like me who DO NOT raid from getting anywhere near any level of mark before it is dead. This is what i see happening on Exodus.

Even basic important NMs (for progression) is using a spawn or tiered spawn system these days in XI for well over 6 years now. Recent examples of overworld spawns is the Naakuals in Adoulin, which is still possible for "everyone to enjoy" since it requires more than just talkin to an NPC and picking up an item or just going out to where they spawn and benefit.

Someone said it earlier and I agree: Accessibility kills content like this, it was a last minute addition so they probably didn't have enough time to research how XI handles overworld NMs now. (Same teams, same company after all.)

Sure, but you weren't soloing them in 5-20 seconds I can assure you. You also weren't teleporting to each NM endlessly as when you ran out of anima you longer could.
