in the future of ffxiv, please no more HNM

[Okiura]

There's nothing wrong with that. But there are ways to make things rare and hard to get without requiring 3 a.m. wake-up calls in order (for a tiny, slim chance) to get it. I've had too many friends lose their job or fail their test because they were too exhausted from HNM hunting in the middle of the night (because if they didn't show up, their shell would kick them, and all that miserable HNM hunting they did up to that point would be for nothing). It's just senseless. Rare and difficult challenges in an online game shouldn't require you to sacrifice your RL schedule to accomplish it. There's no need for it, especially since it encourages destructive behavior.

this just LoL! i'm still chuckling 10 mins after reading it!

Yes. The items will then be obtainable another way; hopefully a better way... i.e. instance.

Almost everyone who is for a HNM system has suggested better way of doing a HNM system, having everything as an instance would destroy the game IMO, you need variety even more so in endgame content.

EDIT: Still chuckling ^^
