1.0 had NMs and they were not over camped because the majority were on 5 minute respawn timers. The loot was unique/untradable, and would only NPC for 1 gil. So the ONLY people camping it were people that wanted the item. Dodore, Elder Mosshorn, and Uraeus were not over camped like HNMs on FFXI. And seriously I miss that. Now the big 3 NMs are gone and most of the others are now FATE's. The problems with the new NM Hunts (which was a nice idea) are that they added too much reward (myth+sold+oils) which created insane amount of demand. Not only that you have all the FFXI mindset lootlust people out there spamming it with/without cheats just so they can say first! and show it off for a week then get bored and cry about nothing to do. In all honesty I liked 1.0 overall better. The world felt more like a real open world. This game is starting to feel more like a console game you either do everything solo (via DF) or you get into a static party the entire game.
