Highly Notorious Monsters

[Alhanelem]

I never botted in any form but the fact that you are against every bit of these ideas proves that you must have sucked at XI or had no friends.

No, it doesn't prove that, however your post likely proves that for you, because of how rude and insulting you're being.

I was part of a major HNM linkshell for many years, and fought nearly every HNM in the game before Voidwatch with the exception of Pandy Warden and Dark Ixion. We were all legitimate players and most of us had eventually quit because we were sick of how rampant the botting got. Think before you insult, please and thank you.

I only did HNM just a brief bit but rl came before it,

What HNM did YOU do? List them specifically, thanks.

75% of people didn't get past level 10? Tell me Lodestone Official Forums, how long does it take for one to get to level 10 in WoW (less than a couple of hours).

This is completely true and there was an article written on it somewhere. Yes, even though it might only take an hour or two to reach level 10, the vast majority characters created in the game never reached that level. There's something called a conversion rate in MMOs. It's the rate at which people actually subscribe and continue playing past the free trial.

25% is actually a very good conversion rate in the industry. You have no idea what you're talking about.
