LOVE the ideas. Exactly what I have been wanting to spice up this game. Random spawns, Roaming HNMs, etc... with very rare hard to get drops. There are really no "LEET" items in this game. Darklight stuff somewhat brushes the surface.

The more difficult the item is to get, the more rare and valuable by the masses of course.

In FFXI, people spent alot of time and hard work camping rare NM spawns....but, guess what....it was their choice and people respected the efforts and were in awe of the drops. Anyone remember the Kraken Club when it was actually dropped by the open world NM? When you saw someone with that and knew they camped it vs. all those gilsellers, you were like WOW! Leet items and trophy kills created a motivation for much of the playing base to get out and do something cool and kept content rich when instances (ie. Ifrit) died out. Additionally, there were those of us in FFXI who enjoyed trophy kills on soloing higher NMs that most people couldn't or wouldn't...that is what kept me in the game for the last couple of years in addition to the HNM camps/events.

Come on SE! I know u wanna appeal to more than just the "casual" player. If they don't want to camp HNMs, random spawn NMs, then they don't have to and can craft an hour or two a day and look at pretty fireballs in the sky until their heart is content.
