What XIV can take from XI to make it better

[Kyri]

I did way too many HNM's in xi to ever want to sit and wait three days to voke something ever again >< It never left me feeling accomplished, just aggressive or pissed off when some other ls's bot beat us.

You mean something like Sandworm and Dark Ixion where the JPs position hack to it as soon as it spawns with mules they don't care that get banned so NA players have absolutely no chance to ever claim?

That's a poop system.

That's not a bad system because of it's own design. It was a failure because SE allowed players to packet sniff without consequence. Blame poor game policy for that mess.

Oh, you want the easy stuff everyone can get so you don't cry when you get out claimed. LOL

I quit right before abyssea, but when the cap was 75, none of that stuff was easy to get - and it took years before the average player would have them.

In fact back then, FFXI players complained so much about the heavy competition over NMs that most of them either had their drops replaced with Rare/Ex versions, their drops were moved to BCNM, or they were changed to triggered spawns.

Uh yeah, NA players were hacking and botting in XI more than JP players were lol. There was a whole forum dedicated to 3rd party bot using circle jerks for NA/EU players.

Everyone was boting no more than the other group.

Those were the cutsie little baby diaper changing items like Emp pin and leaping boots.

None of those items was hard to get. If you wanna talk big boy items where was your haste sash from AV w/o using k-club burn. I'll wait for your answer tho.

That's forced popped baby NM, no competition. That's for lower tier linkshells that can't handle the pressure.

All those are triggered pop now.

Yeah because the game is 10 years old and bad.

Yep.
