New NMs

[Teknoman]

18~30 hr (random) respawn rate will create more feeling in hunting imo

Harder (hardcore hard) NM possibly with special event-battle not just tank-spanking (based on NM's i watched on youtube)..

respawning minions might be fun

or free for all NM..loot goes to party with highest DPS?(8 man parties)..free for all NM = REALLY pain in the ass hard

Last, the loot must be an armor/weapon or some special equipae item and not just a material.. Boss drop should be > craft items

Honestly, all smaller sized NMs should continue to have minions, since that'll help focus on XIV's group vs group combat (if they are still going that route). I fully agree the NMs should drop armor or equipment of some sort as well as possible crafting materials, not just either or.
