    It doesn't work as intended because they developed it bad.

    NMs aren't anything like hunts. If you think so you didn't actually fight NMs.

    Just like diadem isn't anything like dynamis.

    I could take any good idea you give me and make it a mindless grind fest.

    I was semi-afk in Dragon's Aery for years getting window timers, I am well aware how NM's worked in FFXI. Also, please understand what I said before when I said "FFXI-like", don't recall calling them carbon copy. They are definitely influenced by them however.

    People kept requesting something like NM hunting or Dynamis like content, and they finally get it, and they are underwhelming at best. This is because they still have to work in the context of FFXIV, and in doing so, does not work out as well as they have hoped. They seriously need to stop taking FFXI requests into consideration and come up with fun content that at least attempts to not feel like a grind.
