    Here's a tip. Don't rely on Lodestone when you want to act like a smartass. You will more than likely end up with egg on your face.

    Precisely. I see no issue with balancing instances and open world NMs. Everyone gets a little bit of what they want.

    As was pointed out, a lot of people actually miss the FFXI camping days. I appreciate that camping for 3 hours wasn't for everyone, but I think it's a mistake to reduce it to irrelevance.

    camping in ffxiv with the lag could be a bad idea unless they put a 10 second delay on claiming. people closer to the servers would have an advantage

    they did this on XI with claim block. Random block between 1.5secs and 3 secs after it spawned (server time) before it could be claimed and attempting to claim would put your ability on cooldown even if it failed.

    Server latency seems to be around 1/2 sec or very slightly over it for most ppl. So the same claim block system should work.

    One of our members tested this recently. The results were pretty interesting. Germany seemed to have it worst, followed by the UK. One of our German members lags a second and a half behind the NA members (which is a bitch to deal with on Ifrit abilities).
