To us, this serves to illustrate the loyalty and passion of FINAL FANTASY fans, and both the development and management teams were truly moved by this result!"

HNMs SHOULD be in here. Are you forced to do them? no...so don't act like its required. Also With how they do things and learning from FFXI, they would make most of that gear exclusive or "u/u" in this game, so bot farmers have no reason to do them, just shells that want to pimp out their players..a. simple fix to rid of the RMT. Also, seeing as how this game is more casual friendly, i can see the timers not being as long...but they need to be decently long enough so they dont feel common or like every other NM.
Nice post! Good job bringing that up.

Also, Fully agree with you regarding RMT/bots, i was just going to suggest that myself, SE can make the important rare drops unique/non-tradeable. That should filter out the wrong bunch and keep it a goal for real players seeking to improve their chars.
