I love the "hardcore" players of FF14. Rush to 50 for what? Oh yea, the 3 NMs. There has been absolutely no reason for a "hardcore" player to exist in this game, aside from elitism. Like you said, the NMs are a joke, and I think the player who levels to 50 solo is more hardcore than the "hardcore" players who are grouping. 100-200 SP per kill solo compared to a 4-5 person link for 900 SP per kill? That takes some damned dedication. And what solo player(aside from the 50 thaum/conjurers using the system to their advantage) is killing the NMs? Sorry, but I find it hard to believe that people being able to do some things, like level solo, are somehow managing to ruin this game when the harder content still requires a group to do.
