Highly Notorious Monsters

[Coglin]

I don't believe that casual players should have everything that players who put more effort into the game have. However, the real problem is when a good item is designated by the players as absolutely must have. Then no longer can casuals say whatever, they have to go get it or they can't even play when they log in because groups will turn their noses up at them.

That arguement is a bit on the ridiculous side. The same issues could come from an instanced situation, Especially if they add the well requested multi-group instances. Not to mention, when you figure in the impotence of gear in general, your point becomes slightly comical. I mean we can pretty much complete any in game content naked. Your arguement against HNMs is that there gear drop, which would be just as applicable a drop from an instance, might make casuals less valide to harder core players?

How exactly is that comical? It happens in MMOs all the time. You'd have to have your head buried in the sand to say you've never seen this happen in an MMO.
