Oooooooooooooooooh.

When Yoshi said he had to finalize the cost estimation he meant he had to chat with you, since you seem to be so knowledgeable in the subject.

Didn't know that tossing a normal enemy labeled with a different name that runs on a timer would break the piggy.

You must be f**king joking if you seriously think that the only things that the devs have to do to get a NM out is to rename a monster and just drop it somewhere in the world. Do you?

Actually a more apt comparison would be that I like to go hunting for a single hare against other people while you like waiting in line for a burger.

And for some reason my way bugs you and interferes with your meal.

Actually a more apt comparison is you and a bunch of rednecks with guns go out into the woods to hunt for an albino rabbit that you heard rumors about. Also joining you will be the entirety of the four closest towns.

Meanwhile, I go get some friends, some guns, a hunting license, and go to an actual hunting ground that has more than one rumored rabbit. Except, unfortunately, most will be brown and black, with maybe an occasional albino one.

In response, the OP:

One of the aspects of FFXI that I just loved was the world NMs. What set them apart and made them fun was that they were just like any other mob - only different in name and level!

Here I was thinking you actually read the OP. My bad.

bla bla bla.

Okay, so you admit you like being cradled by the system and dislike competition and that what we do interferes in no way with what you do. I'm glad you could come into terms with logic.

No, I'm specifically asking you if you believe that the only things that need to happen from the design teams, dev team, and QA team to get a NM out is to simply add in some code and change the monster name. Is this what you believe?

I also like how the moment I say that I don't like dumb claim competitions, that I'm "cradled by the system." Are you implying that actually fighting the mobs can't involve skill? Or that in FFXI, the skill test was getting the claim and not actually killing the NM? Are you saying that getting a claim involves skill, and not just luck, bots, or good latency?
