Seriously 3-5 minute repop on NMs?

Ha Ha Ha...

easy mode? waiting for screenshot for defeating one of those NM with char under R30(non full party)

Dude, no one fights these NM's at their rank. they all go at them with R45+ then cry that they are too easy or spawn too fast...

I'm all for the instant respawns with low drop rates. I'd rather have something to do for the three hours it takes to farm the NM than kill it, wait for an hour, kill it, wait for an hour, kill it and try to get the item that way.

In my opinion, it takes as long to get these items as the hourly pops did in FFXI - but at least you have a small chance of getting it every 5 minutes rather than having to just sit there with your thumb up your ass waiting for the next repop.

The claim wars are more exciting this way, as well.

If I had to sit in a field for three hours to have a 1/50 shot at claim every day again, I'd scream. Those days are over and good riddance.

To those who have nothing else in their lives but to sit around playing MMOs for 12 hours a day, who want the game to be excruciatingly difficult and take the maximum amount of time so when your no-life-having ass finally achieves greatness you can look down on everyone else with the security that with their petty girlfriends and jobs and social lives they'll NEVER have the time to become as good as you -- find something else to stroke your ego to.

I am sorry. I make a correction.

No one but the NEW people that will come in the future or are already here will fight these at the right rank. Because that is who these NM's are made for.

Low ranks NM- 15-30mins

In other words go back to:

fight > no drop > go make a sandwich > outclaimed > go watch some tv > claim > fight > ................


At least with ~12 spawns per hour the game actually gives me a reason to stay involved when camping.

Isn't it interesting how for some the idea of fun in a game is *not* to play the game for most of the time?

I think it's fine.

Fast respawn rate with low drop rate.

[ApplePie]

I'd rather have 24 hour respawn and .01% drop rate. The drop rates with the spawns are ridiculous!!!

Oh give me a break.

They could at least spawn at the same rate as NORMAL MONSTERS.

That's kinda overkill...(ok, a lot overkill)

The majority in this thread are right: Mid-level NMs don't need ridiculous spawn times/drops.

But I do think that 3-5 min is a little too extreme. They could at least increase it to 10 min minimum. That would give 6 spawns per hour and keep the items at least a little "special".
