F.A.T.E. and the future of Notorious Monsters

[Enma]

Hello all!
I am curious about how roaming Notorious Monsters will be handled in A Realm Reborn:

1. Will they be totally absorbed by F.A.T.E system?
2. Will a complex Notorious Monsters System be implemented*?

*Hundreds of Notorious Monsters with several different spawn conditions (Hour, weather, placeholders, key items, normal items,...), different Tiers etc.

I really don't want all notorious monsters to be FATE only.

I'm curious as well, when you found out let us all know.

Thank you Kryptic.
I tried to read that Thread but it's huge and touches a lot of matters. I am not interested about if people like or not High Notorious Monsters, because it is strictly personal, and neither what effects they could have on our game experience. I am looking for some information (Even a clue) about what Yoshi-P thinks about roaming Notorious Monsters.

I agree on tons of NM's with different pop conditions.

I do, however, think that all NM's should drop Rare/EX items, as to not make them targets for gil farming. Also, any NM with a pop timer of over 4 hours should be a 100% drop rate. They're still going to be camped like crazy, so how about make it less of a mind numbing chore and take out the whole 0% drop rate thing for the longer timers.

Camping certain things in WoW has taught me that long timers are the worst thing ever, but if the item is guaranteed, it's not as bad to camp.

I agree with this post, and I would like a dev confirmation on how nms will be implemented as well in the next live letter or something.
