Complain all you want..

I can tell you horror stories from 3 of those systems in XI that would send you running away from ANY thoughts of implementing any of them.

HNM: You must have a bot program itching to be used to be hyping up an HNM system. That approach in XI was a disaster from day one and the only ones who endorse it are the ones who had the best bots to claim them.

ZNM: No way in any of the seven hells do I want this train wreck anywhere NEAR Eorzea. Between expensive equipment (gil sink), insufficient rewards for the pictures (time sink), and the ridiculous drop rates (RNG hell), don't even bring this up and expect serious consideration.

VWNM: Seriously?

Abyssea: This is about the only sane point you've made. The NM tree wasn't ridiculously difficult and the drop rates were reasonable.

as someone who took part in all of these, I find your accusations and put downs of them to be rather disturbing. all of those are/were about group efforts including Abyssea
if you have horror stories about these, chances are you did them horribly wrong.
HNMs were always about group efforts, if your group was good they usually weren't an issue. no botting was needed for good groups
ZNMs again about group efforts
VWNMs with the right group were really fun and could get pretty silly
Abyssea was actually the only real train wreck in XI, it made players so much lazier it wasnt even funny, it should have had a lvl cap minimum of atleast 65 but more likely 70 but that is another argument

most of your argument denotes laziness or unwillingness to work with others. which is bad in any good MMO
