    Tried going in again, but it sucks even more than it did before because all anyone wants to do now is the NMs, except that either I usually can't reach the NMs before they die, I die either trying to get there or at the NM itself, and even if I'm there, the NM doesn't even load on my screen because there's too many people. So whatever, I'm done with this until they actually make the non-hunt aspect of it more viable.

    It is viable and is actually better if your targeting a few level's above you and going after NM's when they spawn but people are lazy so instead everyone follows a train of people and afk until a NM spawns.

    They need to nerf xp so that doing an NM that is above or below your current level range gives close to 0 xp so you would only want to target NM's around your level otherwise this zergfest will be all Eureka is.

    Doing this assure higher level players won't even look at lower level NMs, thus low level players—especially those still new—have to spawn them on their own. While this could work now as more and more people filter in. Once the initial rush calms down, you'll reach a point where the lower level players are struggling mightily to catch up and the high level players have absolutely no incentive to help them.

    People will still need NM's for Anemos crystals so you would still have people to help do the fates as they spawn

    As to the loading issue. Have you tried turning off the other players battle effects? With the zerg fest NM's are it helped me a lot. In case you aren't aware they can be found under the Character Configuration, Character tab. I set mine to Own = Show all, Party = Show Limited and Others = Show None.
