you're confusing with basic needs "system" and fun factor "In-Game information" :|It's fun figuring some of that stuff out. Like when the mid-level NMs were released I remember people from various linkshells reporting their findings that night. That was cool.
I find it interesting that you're getting so much negative feedback on this though. When these days many people are on lodestone & the various forums seeking more info before it happens. A lot of time is spent on that. Basically spoiling most of the sense of surprise for later. Why not take it further?
But apparently you've found the line where people say "Whoah, now that's a little too much spoiling of the surprise!" That's interesting.

orz too soon? =/
Nah, I'm not confusing them. I get the difference. I'm just remembering previous mmo experiences like I had with XI and realizing I never used to do the kind of information digging I(we) do nowadays. For the longest time I simply played XI & experienced it. Everything was a surprise then. I think that added to the excitement and enjoyment.
I didn't find out about sites like zam, wiki, etc. until later on. I kinda miss that. When I just played the game and didn't keep up with it so much outside the game. I think even keeping up with basic information dulls the fun/surprise factor for me. But it's become a bad habit. = D
It's interesting to see where others draw the line.

Or you can wait the two to three days for the community to have most of the list compiled, week at the most if there are really stingy drops/drops on secret bosses that take a while to figure out how to spawn or access.
