I spent my time in XI doing all kinds of crazy things. The most boring of it was doing stuff like Camping Colin for over a 6 month period and never getting the drop. Waiting around for a monster to pop is not skill.
Killing IT++ Monsters solo isn't even skill if your crutching off Gear to do it.
Skill is being able to get a group of friends together, log on, group up, spend 4 or 5 hours doing what ever and not feeling like you wasted your time when you logged off.
If I log on and camp a 1 Hour NM Pop and it pops every hour on the hour and I camp it for 5 hours, and no drop falls? I wasted 5 hours of my day. I could have been out gaining XP in a proper XP area with a proper party, Or doing a dynamis run to claim crack fallers to sell off for what ever I can get. Or I could be helping an LS mate climb Delkafutts tower for Rank 4. Or bumrushing them through Castle O for Rank 5. Even if I don't gain anything out of helping I still didn't waste my time because it means more people were on their way to being the same rank as me and we can share other events together.
Sitting in one spot for hours at a time does nothing but waste time.
I have to thank Square-Enix for the amazing job they have done recreating Final Fantasy XIV from Scratch. Especially the inclusion of Missing Genders which we petitioned for in good faith. This was proof to us players that the Developers are truly Sympathetic to our requests and that being honest and vocal can pay off with the amazing characters we have who are Female Roegadyn, Male Miqote, and Female Highlanders. Thank You SE, Thank You Community Team, Thank You Yoshi-P.
I got 4 untradable drops already since it opened in my linkshell.... at this rate I can gear my whole linkshell of 40 in less then a month... I am sorry for a mmo that is just pathetic.
They keep it at this spawn rate then need to reduce the drop rates 20 fold......
I'm a bit unsure on my thoughts on this , the low spawn rate kinda sucks now, but at the same time once we get numbers of players there will be plenty of competition for stuff, something tells me though low spawns are to keep peopleplaying interseted not sure.
Please answer me this Randis are you honestly completely ok with 3 minute repop and like a 50% drop rate?Come on, SE added a bunch of low level NM, people wanted more mobs and variety and they got it. SE did not announce any endgame NM with ultra rare gear for this patch. Look at them, those are simple mobs, reused models.
I am sure SE will add high level content later.
ATM priority is low level content, it is very understandable.
stop whining guys
And seeing a NM pop every 3-5 mins even if it have a low drop rate would do the same it just a jokeI spent my time in XI doing all kinds of crazy things.

Sitting in one spot for hours at a time does nothing but waste time.i think we need a middle ground here but all the casual players taking over. Sadly i know you for a long time but i think this is a big ass joke we need tanaka and yoshi-p working to together to meet somewhere in the middle.
this is not even casual not even wow is this casual lol rare mobs in WoW don't even pop this much you have to do the same thing over and over to see one at times.

Is it end game gear?
Does it break the mold?
I am, because I understand that these NM's are not supposed to be considered on the same Esteem as things like Tiamat. These are Tom-Tit-Tats. You don't intentionally camp them for their drops, they are just random encounter NM's that you go "Oh hey an NM" when you are exploring and kill at your leisure.

It's rank 30-35 stuff, it wouldn't make the SLIGHTEST sense to make people camp for hours upon hours for something they're going to outlevel in a few days. I'm not sure what part of this is unclear.
I can see the majority of you have absolutely lost your damned minds.
These Notorious Monsters are for low level players who are LEVELING UP. Of course the timers will be low. Get your gear and move along, YOU HAVE MORE LEVELING TO DO.
