Highly Notorious Monsters

[Jeronlmo]

I am adding my two cents because I matter.

First, I am not opposed to HNMs...but I am bothered by OPs complete one sided coverage of the topic...quoting people who help his case and stating those that disagree are mere "nay-sayers".

Anyway, I would like to see HNMs too BUT not the way so many others do...for example:

DO NOT give ANY NM, be it HNM or otherwise, a spawn time greater than an hour. This is ridiculous, and a time sink method of an archaic age of MMOs. Even when I had all the time in the world to devote to FFXI back in the day, I hated. It is competitive...but I call it anxiety driven. I do no play a game to stress out...that is counter productive.

I say Soloable NMs 5-15 minute spawn (if they are timer based), and HNMs get 30mins-1hr (If they are time based.)

DO add interesting pop scenarios, Id like to see monsters spawn only at night, or when raining, or at a full moon/dark moon, etc etc etc. This would include item pops, such as pouring pheromones on a stone, etc.

DO give members tokens for participation that can be traded in to an NPC for the NMs drops...so people like me (who aren't a HNM LS creator, or co-creator) can get the items too, without being a abused for manpower.

For the 5th time, you did not have to do HNM's to get HNM gear, you simply did not have to, Einherjar was an option, it had all of HNM's drops + 2-3x more abj's.

You only want soloable NM's to kill and do not want a ls... its called a RPG, go try it.

umadbro? cause no where in my post did I say, I wanted soloable NMs (yes I want them, but I also want the ones that require groups, hence why I differentiated the two in my post.
