The thing with NMs in FFXI was that eventually NM drops were changed because of the camping due to the fact they were sellable. A source of gil for farmers none the least. The changes made it so drops did become available to everyone who could claim the mob and kill it. You still had to compete for claims with rivals but was still better than them being overcamped.

Whats occurring with elites is these hunt ls's seem to feel entitled to every spawn including the weekly. They wont tell you if it's up where it is or even invite you so you can get full credit. On Behemoth it is apparently a big secret now. They don't give a damn someone like me still needs the weekly credit. So is it alright for them to screw players like me over' to deny me my right to 20+ seals? Yea they sure show courtesy and are not selfish.
