This is actually one of the things I DON'T miss from FFXI. Waiting around for an NM to spawn, then being lucky enough to tag it and THEN being lucky enough a drop and THEN get the drop that's worth something was a serious waste of time. There was no challenge to camping monsters. It was all luck. Add in the fact that many PS3 players like myself suffer from latency issues, we probably wouldn't even tag it if our screen showed us hitting it before someone else did. The old FFXI NM mechanic can stay dead.
