Highly Notorious Monsters

[Exn]

LSs that attempted to camp HNMs and couldnt claim usually fell apart very fast.
Every HNM linkshell in XI ever botted. That's just a fact. And yes people did not have fun doing it the way it was intended. You had fun watching someone kill Nidhogg after you spent past week camping Fafnir? Come on bro, it drove people to pull the hair out of their head.
Speed hacks at sandworm were never a big problem because SE found a pretty reliable way to detect them. Most people who got banned were using those. People used Scan Zone to find Ixion and Sandworm.
You cant convince anyone in their right mind that going everyday and seeing others kill HNM over and over is fun.
Especially ones like Nidhoggs who were the only shot at E body.

No that's not a fact.. But you must be from the "Because we did, everyone did camp". Yeah, I had fun watching HNM almost as much as fighting, I've said that a few times already in this thread and others. Spectating was ALOT of fun for me, especially because you didn't always know how it would turn out. No, I didn't QQ after not getting Nidhogg after 2 weeks.. and I think it's kinda sad you did.. but if XI tugged at your emotional hamstrings for missing the possibility of MAYBE getting a drop, then that's on you. And yes, speed hacks were a large problem, there were so many alts running around blinking across the map at one point I almost wrote a letter to SE.. And what does Widescan have to do with using the speed hack? Yeah, we all know you located which zone Ixion or SW popped in with Widescan, the problem came after when all the LS's run to that position for the claim..

Seeing others claim HNM over and over while rarely ever getting a claim yourself wouldn't be fun for me either. But, seeing as though I never said that in the first place I don't know why you felt the need to mention that. A HNM shell that actively camps, collects ToD's, has on-call members, and communicates with each other wouldn't have that problem in the first place.. At times it would seem other shells would be on roll with claims, other times we'd have them locked down, most times it was a pretty even spread with the exception of when an LS really focused on trying to lock down one specific HNM. Our schedule was so busy (which I'm SURE you should be aware of..) that regardless if we missed the claim we may have had members already camping two other HNMs. If we got claim great, if not we were already on the way to the next, or rushing to start the rest of endgame before it got too late. It did not bother me to miss claims.. We got plenty of all of them, and could gear newer members quick enough (if they had good attendence), and had plenty of places to be allllll the time.

I was loving even days like these:

I didn't need to have the glory everyday just to have fun.
