FFXI's HNM system (again. ONLY HNMs. NOT BCNMS KSNMS ETC!!!!) was terribad. We kept doing it because we wanted the drops badly enough to keep at it, not because it was fun battling cheaters to get the claim on the monster.

BCNMs and the like are a completely seperate topic. I'd love to have those, lots and lots of them. The only thing I'm against is HNMs that are world spawns with long repop timers. Rewards from content should be rare because the content is challenging, not because you have to wait a million years just to get to experience the fight one time.

World spawning HNMs would be tolerable if they spawned frequently enough that you didn't have 100 people packed in a fishbowl all mashing provoke as hard as they can for 2 minutes every 30 minutes. But I'd still rather do BCNM/force pop content.
I know this type of guy he is the guy that calls gm's on players when they get out claimed every time. Belive it or not, not everyone botted in XI if a mob spawned purple that was your pc's fault not the game cause it could not load the monster fast enough, also after they added the 3 second rule before claiming it pretty hard to bot someone out of a claim cause they could not grab said mob w/o everyone else seeing it first.
