Well MeowyWowie if you say so then. But the majority of the game FFXIV is pretty much leaning towards the Instanced Areas path.

I support this, and hope the drops are like the first wave of NMs, dropping mats instead of actual gear.

[Clydey]

Why does all BiS gear HAVE to come from instances? Or the pop items for said open world NMs come from an instance? Some of us like the competition involved with the open world NMs and it seems kind of selfish that at least some of the BiS gear cannot come from open world HNMs

People like things to come easy.

If I had my way, the game would favour open world NMs. I want competition. Instead, we have every single person on the server running around with the same gear because of instanced content. There is no competition.

Great supporting argument. Funny how the majority of people posting on this topic are in favor of NMs, though.

There are times when the majority should get what they ask for. But when that affects the variety of content a game has to offer, no. Just because the majority wants instanced content, it doesn't mean that free-for-all open world content should be nixed completely, which is exactly what you're asking.

Step outside the box for a minute and you'll easily see that your selfishness is no different from that of the elitists shells you seem to loathe so much.

[Clydey]

why does everyone think it has to be one or the other, there can be multiple methods of content. the strongholds arent instanced are they? JC, they want to add instanced dungeons and every screams bloody murder, its only a portion of the content.

It is the main content. Nothing of note will come from open world NMs. All of the best gear will come from instanced raids. Once a strat has been released for instanced content, it gets farmed to death and everyone has the same gear. The player base becomes homogenised.

[Clydey]

To prevent monopolization by elitist shells, to deter botters from spoiling good fun for others in game?
I'm sure the devs are wanting to prevent what occurred in FFXI during the early times.
Everyone deserves a piece of the pie. It's not meant for the same old people every time you turn up at the camp spot of a HNM.
Main thing I'd really want to see is the the complete removal of timed NMs or HNMs. The devs should implement pop methods via doing a series of difficult quests to obtain the pop item if you would like open world NM/HNMs. (And also since if your against pop items coming from Instanced areas.)

Monopolization? The solution is to get better, not make things easier. You have the same opportunities that we have, so don't act like certain linkshells have an inherent advantage.

Is it better that every player has the same gear within a month? If you want the items, become a better player. It shouldn't be a hard concept to grasp.

Is this a joke? I have killed Ifrit over 100 times.

Here's a kill we did in 3:34.
