3. Drop items that are one tier below "real" instanced content

Please explain why Open World content should be one "tier" under instanced content in terms of obtainable gear.

Also, are open world HNM's not "real"? I am confused by your statement. Unless you are trying to say instanced is real and HNM's are fake.. even then I would still be confused.

Well, it jus seems that instanced content where you actually have to form a limited amount of people with specific jobs should be rewarded better than an HNM where the entire server can all attack it at the same time.

Oh, in that sense then yes.

But we are talking about HNM's that can only be claimed by a single group. Lets say for instance, your linkshell. Not HNM's that anyone and everyone can attack, I agree that those kind of NM's shouldn't drop top tier gear.

But for the HNM's that you have to take a certain group against, I think those should drop top tier gear.

If anything it should be a tier above instanced gear, not only will it drive competition up it will be very temptin to actually do the content.

I agree wholeheartedly. That sir, is a touchy subject though with the casual MMO players. Many discussions can be brought up with that statement. I agree though, I also think Open-World content should have drops that are a tier above that of instanced material, BUT.. that is just my opinion.
