Instanced only makes everything common, instead of limiting gear in any way, literally everyone can do it at any time, like now, dungeons lasted many groups maby 2 weeks, content completed > /logout til next update.

Your prob is that you hate competition... because your well... not good most likely.

From my experience, getting claim on roaming NMs has nothing to do with being "good." It has everything to do with proximity to the server and existence of bots. In my time in XI, the ability to claim went Bots > JP > everyone else.

I can't count how many times I saw mobs pop claimed.

I'm not saying all instanced content is the answer. But a system guaranteeing a fair chance at fighting is what is needed. Whether it be pop NMs, instanced fights or something new, I could care less if I ever see another open world NM.

hahaha because how well i can claim an NM defines how well i play my class. i dont want a game that is totally instanced, i want balance. however i think the claim drama from FFXI can suck my ass and never exist again. which is why i think the best boss gear shouldnt come from roaming NMs but from instances.
