Bring Forced Spawn Notorious Monsters, and purchase spawn items with gear currency.

yeah yeah I know. The thing about FFxi was just the "usual let FFxi die you fanboy".

Thing is, there is no horizontal progression in FFxiv yet. So every tier is just coil + tomes. Every other content has to give lover reward or it will become the "end-all, be-all" way to go, and that's not what the devs want. So... nice idea, but not in 2.0-esque FFxiv

Trigger NMs or beefed up treasure maps would be awesome. I'm so tired of this instanced bullshit.

Please, please listen to this request. Give us pop nms, give us gear diversity, give us something to log in and fight and hope for drops. I cannot stand this weekly welfare cap tomes and look like everyone else's cookie cutter job. Please give us some diversity and some rare items.

Man, in some words you totally expressed the feeling I have everyday when loging ingame :3 /brohug to you.

Well call forced spawned NM, treasure maps in FFXIV. Ask SE to expand upon it.

As much as I'd like to see something like this, you will have all the instant gratification babies cry about how difficult is to get BiS pieces.

The point is CHANCE.

You may not even get a drop that you want. You might be a tank and get a drop for a Caster. That's why you get friends, you get together, and you work it out. Maybe 8 people get a pop item, do the mob 8 times, and you octuple your chances.

Maybe ya work out a DKP system. And I wouldn't have any of the drops be game breaking. If the default gear is say item level 120 and coil gear is 130.. this gear might be 125.... and maybe have some unique attribute that could situationally make it better?

That's exactly why people would cry about it. Look at how many still cry about atmas. Just imagine being told your BiS piece is a rare drop from one of these NMs (even though BiS isn't needed for anything anyways).

I'm all for this but I'll bet my fat cat (that I don't have) you'll see lots of tears pouring down.

Seriously, this is a no-brainer. One of the best systems to date, in my opinion, is the forced-spawn system. Make it tough and worthwhile for the winners. Make it hurt when you fail, like treasure maps. Lose the fight? Lose your pop-item. The people who cannot win at anything without an echo buff will cry, but they will have their Ironworks Gear to console them.

Make it hurt!

I'd love to see this happen. Honestly I'm sitting on 1500 Poetry because non of it in its current state is better than 110 crafted/pentamelded. At least give those players something to do while waiting for raid drops to finally go their way or while they wait for a static. The game in its current vertical progression state gives players zero incentive to log in more than once a week. The current model bothers me very greatly.
