Do you think XI would have been great if all HNM's NM's were 15min spawn and gear negated in every patch ?

Do you think killing Ifrit and getting all the weapons from it going to be good @ 1.20 patch ?
Answer : Nope
One thing that XI did well is all the work you put in to get Byakko hadate and Kirin Osode wasnt negated with every ver. Update, Sure there was More gear that was released but your older gear was still important . Personally i blame companies like EA Blizzard Activision in dumbing down all video games

Look at all the MMO's being released all are ither wow clones or have Star wars slapped on it , same thing with COD same game rehased over and over . Madden prime example when hit stick was put into the game was a very good feature then after that they just release the same game with something no one really uses or cares about like create a player in i think Madden 07 where you can size the players ass really really .. /rant

all im saying all the new gen. of players are whining kids who instead of getting hit with the belt were the ones demanding and getting what they wanted the world doesnt work that way ...

If they Place HNM's or they dont This game will only be good for 2-3 weeks at every patch . Buying gear is pointless , busting your butt is a thing of the past "Easy Mode" = Everything




thats my rant sorry
Your rant is misplaced. No, this game will not survive in today's MMO market if people have to keep running the exact same content for years like XI was. That WILL NOT WORK. I also don't want to see every patch completely obliterate the last patch's content and gear. There is a happy medium. Artificially inflating time sinks by making a monster spawn once every 3-4 days with a lesser version spawning on the 21-24 hour mark that anyone who wants to participate in endgame has to camp and get lucky with drops and have the best bot to claim is not the way to go.

I don't understand why people are reading what I'm writing, then taking my post in a whole different direction than what it actually says. Endgame consisting of primarily world spawn HNMs on a long timer will not work. Endgame consisting of multiple activities such as dynamis, BCNMs, actual dungeons that have lore relevance (not the XI equivalent of, "Ok, go kill normal mobs in here for hours) like other MMOs and even previous FF games are needed. We need actual dungeons like how previous games do them, Gizamaluke's Grotto from IX comes to mind. Make dungeons where there is relevance to you actually being in lore-wise. You fight trash on the way to other bosses in the dungeon and then fight your way to the final boss of the dungeon. This is one aspect where WoW has done right.

People should be continuing to sub because they enjoy the game, not because SE is forcing people to rerun content for years if they are interested in any sort of endgame activity.
