Will you quit if this game becomes raid-centric?

Yeah I guarantee that once they implement new areas no new overworld mobs/NMs will be included. So this game is gonna be raid-central for sure.

That was sarcasm of course, speculation is the name of the game in this thread I guess.

Yoshida said he wants to avoid competition. So how do you have nms without competition? If NMs are like now where they have like 1/5 drop rate everyone will get the best gear and get bored fast again. Open world competition is generally competitive. From what hes said it really sounds like the game will become raid-centric like almost every other MMO out there in order to avoid that competition.

Yeah reading into what the devs say is always the way to go. He definitely made it sound this way that way yada yada yada

I'll quote myself in case you want ideas (they're not that great but better than waaah)

Randomize spawn points on open world NMs within a limit, so that a full party isn't instantly grouped together at pop.

Make more than one NM pop at the exact same time so that even though a claim is missed another mob (or several lesser mobs) can be taken down for semi-decent drops, even if pop is in mor dhona and other NM is in shroud.

Fix the thing(sorry haven't tested recently if this is still around) where if you claim and die your pt members can't group up while you lay there and it stays claimed.

At the very least, it should de-drama some situations because if you want people on the internet to be civil, you need to go off the grid.

Those are off the top of my head. Maybe instead of waiting for an instance I can play the game. I'm fairly sure an overworld NM isn't as difficult to create as a dungeon (don't quote me on that).
