Highly Notorious Monsters

I still vote for trophy drops only. Those who want to camp can camp. Thrill of competition.... people don't want that. They want something to make them feel superior... I vote yes to camping, no to amazing items.

"People will only camp if there are good rewards to motivate them" So that boils down to, "people want better items than others have to feel superior"?.... gogo trophy drops. Trophies are almost by definition given as rewards to a select few, how is this a bad idea!?

Completely agree with this post. I do not mind spending long periods of time to acquire a certain quality of gear but the idea of being forced to stand around board camping for it or even interrupting what I am doing in-game to go camp a HNM in order to keep up is unappealing without a suitable alternative option as well.

I think HNM's should drop upper echelon gear. Maybe not the most "Elite" of pieces, but stuff that would desirably sought after. Great gear, I guess.

But you are right, I don't want to "camp". I would like spawn timers to be around 6 hours, but with 1 (one) 15 minute window? Maybe less. So no more 7 windows, just 1 shot to pop. This way people don't waste time.

X-HNM is due to pop in 30 mins. People gather, windows comes.. LS claims. That's that. Back to whatever you were doing.

Im not saying they shouldn't drop great gear. If you are willing to take the headache of going after them more power to you and the LS that wants to do so. What I am saying is do not make it the end all be all gear because there are those of us who are willing to put in just as much if not more work to attain the same level of desirable gear without that particular headache give us an alternative headache to choose between simultaneously.

Thanks for sharing your opinions. While I agree that the vast majority do not want the camping frustrations and headaches, alot of us would like to see HNM's have great gear to drop. I think that instanced raids should have some amazing gear, but at the same time I think NM/HNM's should have some amazing drops too.

i.e: Relics/AF from Dynamis. Ridill/Defending Ring from HNM's. MonsterSigna/O.Kotes from Smaller Open world NM's, etc.
