Too bad XI used forced pops and 'instances' for majority of NMs that dropped sought after gear for over half of it's life span.

Anyone who wasn't in that ls who tried to camp the NM themselves would usually be MPKd by the members of that ls,

Dat 2003 experience that hasn't been true since the extremely early days of XI.

But it's forever tainted FFXI

Clearly since that hasn't been true for an extremely long time to the point XI handles itemization better than XIV does currently lol.

You will learn this very quickly about this community - Most that say they played XI usually are talking about the 2003-2004/5ish era of FFXI or only played till level 10 and quit and just go off what they read on sites like Bluegartr or Zam and make everything sound far worse than it truly was. It wasn't anywhere near as bad as she made it out, the only MPK that ever happened were at Ground Kings and that was only possible in the early days since SE changed the way not only hate works, but the claiming system thus MPKing became near impossible to do in the general format.

Heck, the 1.0 system was done using the changes they did to XI's system, which XI later did more changes as well.

Also no, Hunts aren't the same thing - When I kill Stinging Solphie, where's my dagger? When I kill Nahn where's my elegant sword that has poison addition effect on it? When I kill Naul where's my Wyvern Perch? So on and so forth.
