Seriously 3-5 minute repop on NMs?

I actually disagree with this. Obviously we could do without all the MPKing and such nonsense. Those issues can be addressed. However, I do value the sort of competition we saw in XI. It can lead to unsavoury incidents, but for me the positives outweighed the negatives. I particularly enjoyed the competition between linkshells. That was a huge selling point for me.

It's what the top dog ls's live for, and you're in one of the most well known. Again it's a matter of personal preference. Personally I'm more of a social player, and I hate confrontation. I'm all for self improvement, but I always gritted my teeth dealing with the competitive scene. I do not mean to be too insulting by generalizing, but my experience the competitive scene involved alot of players who would criticize other's behind their backs over offering to help them improve themselves. Then again I'm a self admited white knight by nature.

I'm all for a challenge as far as nm's and gear goes, but I'd rather not see a segregation in the playerbase like what used to exist in xi. i.e. "Player (...) is godlike because player (...) rolls with linkshell (...) which knows all the ToDs and has the means to outclaim and kill nm (...) with ease and does so on a daily basis"
