Highly Notorious Monsters

[Steeled]

You mention "HNM" and that scares me.

HNM was an awful system that promoted cheating and d'baggery because the loot was special and rarely rare to drop. I don't know if bot-claiming would work in this game, but I've heard bad things about the security of client<>server transmissions.

"Hey guys, window's soon, let's go sit in the zone for several hours."

If you don't really mean HNM, then clarify because...no.

I like world bosses, I like hard world bosses, but I dislike systems that can be exploited not for more pleasure for you, but more grief for others.

That Chimera in Northern Thanalan is a good example of what could be a hard world boss. Raise the stakes for 50 cap and aim for at least Garuda weapons, put a high limit on participants (48 people?). Make add control/elimination a must.

Make the only form of entry duty finder, so everyone gets a crack at him. It should probably be required that you duty finder in groups.

The maturity level of the mmo audience has degenerated so far that open world bosses just really aren't that important to me.
