Highly Notorious Monsters

just make ALL NM's like FATE then everyone can help kill it get tokens if you win then you good to go. group claim gameplay is is old now the groups will just have the rest of the LS healing from the out side is pointless might as well make it a big event when the NM pops. if you get a general thing like the tokens you wont have problems getting stuff done because it will always be worth while to help someone.

random drops and drops you dont or doubles of equip you cant sell or trade is a waste of time.

I'm not a fan of open world NM's because it encourages unfair play, abuse, MPK and botting.

BCNM or pop item bosses I'm good with though.

As I've said in other thread if they have huge open world NM's they should make it public content, similar to what GW2 is doing.

people will do it anyways. botting is coming back 100%, just look at all the crafting bots in V1.

Other MMO's have tried this (namely Guild Wars 2) and nobody finds it very interesting/fun. If you try it you see its more of a mob scenario rather than ANY strategy involved. I liked the conversation about Dark Ixion and SW, those were really interesting ways to spawn/camp an HNM. I think we're all starting to think the camping part isn't fun- for some of us it is! If the NM wasn't cornered into a small spot on a map it could be really cool to have your LS running around on the hunt.

The other thing is if we had two options one which would be the old-school 21-24 hr camping method, the other a spawned pop like hakutaku/zipacna which you could do once a week. I think this solves both parties problems, and you can get the best of both worlds if you like!
