New NMs

[Corrderio]

It would only perpetuate botting if it was set up like the older FFXI HNM's. More recent one's popped during wider windows and over a much larger area. Botting would be pointless, as would camping.

There will still be bots to detect NMs with wide spawn ranges. I do know there were bots where all you'd have to do is wait in the zone they'd spawn and the moment they do the bot would find them.

I'm not sure if you are trying to take what I said out of context or if the second half is supposed to support the quote, but regardless that wouldn't make much sense. The ones who are playing ARE the ones who are taking the poll.

I don't know if you notice this but it's pretty apparent 99% of the people on this forum don't play the game. There was never a poll saying JPs want spoon feed baby NMs that are always up.

That's a pretty big assumption and I never said that there was or wasn't.

Dude it didn't matter. NMs in XI spawned with a random timer and if you tried to claim too fast you wouldn't get it. It was all luck. Bots didn't do anything.

Just like how they don't have time to make threads on the official forum about actual in-game current problems ranging from terrain collision and transportation while NA forum have threads about Missing Gender and cosmetics.

Silly japanese players!

Their forums have like 30 something threads.

Ours has like a million filled with people who don't even play. It's pretty embarrassing to be honest.

and vish nolifer don;t ever comment on adhd lighty..... its not really cool to have it. And at this point youh never even read what that per wrote they are not talking about playing 3 hours. they are talking about staying UP TILL 3am then going to work 6 hoursa later. 6 hours is not enough sleep.

The claiming system of NMs in XI made claim bots completely ineffective. It was all luck and commitment to show and have a shot.

Guess you never heard of NASA.

And people want this back? I better go back to FPS, RTS, or fighting games that actually reward those that put effort into their victory if this gets implemented.

not really i seen a bot claim before they use a hack to know where the nm was going to appear. I seen a few hacks that claimed the nm before it even spawn and no one was with in range of it.

DO YOU READ?????????? Let's say a mob (a monster for people like you) pops in 3 different zones. So you're all spread out, it pops in 1 of the zones and kills half your party, the rest of you get there, but half to pull some shit out to even survive. The rest of the people come and watch you fight lagging you to death because they want you to die, your weakened comrades come back and start fighting....This is the shit you will not experience with forced pop NMs, or instances..

THAT IS A LAYER OF DIFFICULTY CAN YOU NOT SEE THAT? Or all you see is "ZOMG 24hr NM NOOO"

Let's say the mob (this term works also for 'people like me') pops and you're outclaimed day after day after hours of waiting? End f the story.

What? The window moves dude. Like it could be in your time for a few days or a week. The point is YOU AREN'T SUPPOSED TO CAMP IT EVERYDAY.

It was only a hypothetical. Since we're talking about stuff that has not been implemented in XIV, everything we say is hypothetical. My point is that people with 8 hours or less of free time per day need 1337 g34rZ too.

I totally agree.
