No, Hunt = Catch-up update device delivering free handed stuffs to static-less people, iced with insults on /sh chat, radar users and huge zerg-fest

Back on the OP thread, yeah seeing the return of 1.0 NMs would be really fun.

The claim system don't get changed, so the only thing that would bring a difference are private NMs (from a leve or a treasue map) instead of free running NMs.

Maybe something less relevant to huge keyboard-faceroll that hunt is?
The claim system should be obviously changed for those said NMs to become private, it would be a necessity mechanic wise.

You are right good sir, I totally forgot to add something in my sentance :

No, Hunt = Catch-up update device delivering free handed stuffs to static-less people, iced with insults on /sh chat, radar users, huge zerg-fest and glamour stuffs provider

Fixed!

On a side note, I'm not asking for a "slow and sluggish" game but having more openworld stuffs to do would be a good thing for the health of FFXIV.
Also, linking an 1.0 video just to make the thing looking wrong and bad is a low move from your side 1.0 is no more and it is obvious that a fight like shown in your link couldn't work with ARR battle mechanics. It's like comparing apples and oranges.

Note : No offenses and don't take it as a personal attack but we all know that they will add carbontwine and carboncoat in January for 2.5, they even raised the allied seal cap to 4000 to "prepare" the field ^.^ and so, the "Catch-up update device" will once more rise for the static-less players.

...I couldn't watch the whole thing without getting bored, if that's your idea of a counter-arguement then it didn't work, it still looks slow and boring.

Nooooo... really? I never knew that. I was using them as examples, and funny enough I took a screenshot earlier of, oh my is that an A Rank surrounded by smaller versions of itself? I must be seeing things.

So what makes hunt mobs and NMs different from each other? HP? Drops? How they look? Attack patterns? Spawn rates?

Other than S ranks, hunt mobs just appear anywhere with no reason, they don't drop anything, and you just do them to get points.

We all know Maahes. Wouldn't it be more fun if he only popped at night every night, howled so loud that you can hear him from any place in the zone to freak out all the noobies and dropped a special item for killing him like maybe "Panther Jacket" drop rate 100% since it only pops at night instead of every 10 minutes?
