    OK. I think I finally understand where Visch is coming from in his argument. It's not so much the NM combat or the waiting for the combat, it's the rarity and inherent value of the spoils from that combat.

    In that case, I think we are trying to have one argument over two closely related, but different things.
    • NM Item Drops (Equipment Issue)
    • NM Combat Access (Content Issue)
    One is about how often you get to participate in NM combat. The other is about how rare the spoils from NM combats are.

    Some players are arguing that the respawn time should be relatively short to allow for everyone to be able to participate in NM "content". The drops are a secondary motivator for fighting the NM.

    Some players are arguing to increase the respawn time in order to statistically make the drops less available to players and thus increase their rarity and value. The actual combat is a secondary motivator for fighting the NM.

    To reiterate, I do believe that 3-5 minutes is too short. But I also believe 3 hours is too long, in my opinion.

    However the case, I do believe I am beginning to understand some of the arguments being made.

    Doesn't fool me for a second. Visch only wants gear rare for everyone but his playstyle so he can roll around town in the best gear 2 weeks after the expansion and have everyone else lament that they don't even have gear from the last expansion.

    He doesn't *actually* want it to be rare gear. He wants it to be rare to *your kind*.

    Get RID of these players once and for all. Challenging, accessable content. End. Success. Players like Visch never change. They want challenge, but more than that they want non-accessable. Makes them feel SPECIAL.

    And the game quality suffers for listening to them.
