Another dreadful idea from the popular XI basher.

Firstly, While i agree i am against long time spawns as well, i think it's a waste of time and life and all other issues need to be addressed like bots and what not. Seeing also this game is casual friendly, these issues would need to given even more attention. Infact, even when i had much more time on my hands, i never bothered with HNMS due to time waste and effort.

However.. I think all people would agree that's its one of the coolest and most fun experiences and sceneries in a game to watch huge NM's walking around in a free world. It just simply adds so much to the immersion of the game. Surely, that can't be wrong.

It instantly reminds me of wild awesome experience in FFXIII, check these out, and recall how sweet the open world was in FFXIII due to such monsters:

Just look how awesome that looks, how tiny the players are compared to it.

I definitely want to see them in the open world, it would be crazy stupid and backward to remove such a cool feature of an online Role playing game.

Ofcourse, concerns should be addressed and there certainly are ways of addressing the issues of HNM's like monopolizing and timers and bots.
One good idea mentioned is to for eg. completely randomize their spawn locations and times so there is no trend for people to follow and then camp away, bot and monopolize

Zenaku also gave a good idea of having both systems. That can work for all people.
