ZNM - Popped tiers of NM.
Most regular world NMs - Drops R/E version of now crafted items or items that drop in BCNM type arenas.
Fracture - Popped NMs or you go inside of their domain.

I don't see how that's utter crap, as you say.
We've danced this dance before. You know fully well that when people ask for the FFXI NMs they aren't asking for popped NMs, but asking for camping for hours and a claim system. And yes, that IS utter crap because instead of actually playing the game I'm stuck in a zone waiting for something to pop.
