NM gear

[Visch]

or not Visch. MMOs don't need to be E-Peen contests ... it seems that's all you'd like.

It doesn't make you a better player because you claimed a mob that can be zerged to death with a simple strategy (stand on left and right foot).

I'd rather they leave NMs at 1 hour respawns, and add some really tough challenges, hard bosses, and gear to match.
They should add some Leve Nms that cost 600 maybe, and make them more difficult than (current) world NMs.

Just because you botted to get your gear doesn't mean that's the way the games meant to be played, and that formula has been removed from almost all games because it just doesn't work. People like being able to advance, and Solo/Group gear hits a very early wall that you can't really advance past. This is a game, a final fantasy, a genre with age groups ranging from 8+ (usually stopping around 50 though), and a lot of people have jobs, have kids, have a life, and they're still good players. They just can't commit to waking up at 4am because the NM is going to spawn between 4 and 7am.

Instanced content, and quick respawns, with appropriate difficulty and drop rates, is part of the reason WoW became #1. And theres a reason FFXI moved -AWAY- from this content and made everything force pop. The game should be ready for you on your terms, not it's terms.

Bro if you have fun doing what you wanna do you can do what you wanna do!

Causal player have their rightful place in MMOs.

People who don't have as much time as other should be able to have fun and enjoy the game like everyone else.

The problem is when causal players start telling people who play the game 10 times more than them what to do and what's better.
