Airship Exploration!

But now they sound like treasure maps and hunts had an amazing love child.

Any love child of Hunts will be a bastard, unless they finally took my advice and Hunts went out and got a fully time job with force pops...

If those NMs and HNMs are the same as Hunts... God f*cking dammit... I don't want another "We have to wait 30 minutes while my best friends flatmates grandmas dead cat logs on to get credit!", followed by a half minute zerg down... I also don't want something a handful of people can monopolize, and effectively kill the content for the majority... If they're not force popped, I'm going to be instantly disappointed...

Undersized Parties is by far the best thing they've added to Heavensward thus far, and I want this to be that, The Event. We already know we can enter solo or with a full alliance, and everything in between. Potentially relevant rewards on top of that is great. Everything just hinges on how the NM/HNMs are handled... Ideally this truly would be Sky, from Final Fantasy XI... That was great because you used items to pop Gods, I don't think we'd have seen things as interesting as Red Mages soloing Byakko, if the pop had to be contested, or the entire server could show up and help for credit...

Honestly. If they lock it to "Party Only" that kills it. It fixes the problem completely. Of course it means you will have to make it so the zone is large and spawns are fast enough so one party can't get everything.

It really doesn't... One party monopolizing them wouldn't be the issue, it would be several just camping them 24/7 and never giving anyone else a chance... Not to mention the drama that would create... You're happily waiting for a spawn, then someone else swoops in, it spawns, and they claim it, have fun!

Force pops or bust, IMO.
