Work = Doing 72 runs of Moogle/Ifrit hoping that the drops might magically come to you, instead of someone who doesn't need it?

Regardless of how much you dislike HNM's, I think it would be foolish to ignore the greater majority of people in this thread that do.

We are trying to stay on a mature basis, and discuss the topic. Rather than stray into immature statements like "go fondle your epeen" and "might just be another e-peener". Statements like this hurt any credibility you might have had.

We don't want HNM's for an ego boost. We want them because of the thrill, excitement, and the literally overwhelming sense of accomplishment that comes with them. And yes, it is nice to wear those "elite" items.
