A lot of FFXI players wanted NMs in a sense where you would camp 1 spot and the mob would spawn but the thing that many FFXI players wanted is only 1 party to have claim on the said NM. However a most NMs weren't hard in FFXI either the hardest part was getting the claim.

I didn't really enjoy NMs in FFXI because I wasted like 3 hours camping Fafnir only to be outclaimed by one of the other 150 people there.
