    They won't do it because of botters.

    That being said, open world mobs exist for no reason at all. Super low drop rates on crafting materials (better to use retainers), pointless xp gains, only a handful of daily hunt mobs per zone, and no actual effect on other gameplay.

    It would be cool if there were repeatable hunt logs. Maybe something like the battle leves they canned, but actually involving the normal environment, and more rewarding for leveling up.

    Cause this has stopped botters :see_no_evil:. Botters run rampart in PoTD and Frontlines, it would mean those places will have less botters if SE did something like what the OP suggests.

    Unsure if actual bots run these rather than being incorrectly coined as bots when it's really just lazy players leeching EXP by hitting a key here and there to not get kicked via the system. Either way, we don't need an incentive to bot simply because open world monsters give more EXP. It would also completely destroy all incentives to run roulettes and leave newer players stuck on story missions at their convenience.

    Lazy players can go and download bots to get levels for them.

    And just as easily be reported and banned. Just because you can do something now doesn't mean you should do things to encourage a certain behavior. As I said, too, it would still kill roulettes and having people progress easily in the MSQ, which gates everything.

    Not to mention all the bots you don't see in parties popping in and out of existence in dungeons or all the bots that fate.
