Highly Notorious Monsters

[Jinko]

Put it this way, I'm as competitive as they come and that wouldn't appease me. There has to be something to compete for and I don't think the same weapon with a different look is going to cut it. People want to be able to separate themselves in myriad of different ways. If everyone essentially ends up with the same gear and/or stats, the player base becomes homogenised.

Is it wrong that the more skilled players should be rewarded? Certainly not from my perspective.

No people (like you) just want to feel superior to everyone else.

If you are that competitive maybe you should try playing a Korean PVP MMO.

Last thing I want to see is players with egos and attitudes ruining Final Fantasy.

So you would rather have everyone running around with the same gear, with no way to stand out, just so players are not forced to become better at the game? I'm sorry, but a skilled player should not be running around in the same gear as someone who can barely play the game. At least that's my view of things. It has nothing to do with wanting to stand on a pedestal, but rather it has everything to do with effort and skill yielding reward.

Yea because someone who barely plays the game is going to be running around in a full set of Darklight gear right ?

Come on be serious.

I must ask what makes being able to claim synonymous with skill above any other type of challenge? I agree give people who want them HNMs but that is not a measure of skill to get a claim it has a lot to do with luck, the fight itself should be the challenge. It is a matter of how someone wants to play and what they will put up with for a certain item (or more likely prestige) so why not make a comparable item drop for a different type of comparable challenge. Personally I wont pay a subscription fee to be bored to tears camping HNMs I would prefer a harder fight over one I must wait for but I won't deny there are those who prefer to camp them.

This hits the nail on the head, there is no difference between a boss in an instance and a boss roaming the open world besides luck in getting the claim.

Either monster can be tuned to be difficult the funny thing is as it stands open world bosses can be killed by help from outside the party.

Where is the challenge in that ?
