New NMs

[Jinko]

That's assuming there's anything worthwhile for a high level player to get from the midrange NMs.

You always get those that will kill it because they think its makes them look leet "look I'm fighting this NM all by myself", plus whatever they drop can be sold no doubt, first few days especially prices will be high and the item will be in high demand.

This has nothing to do with difficulty. Difficulty plays absolutely no factor if the NM is actually killable (AV). If an LS can kill something once then they're capable of killing it over and over and over. The only factor making it's drop rarer is the limitations placed on how often it can be killed.

Thats not the only factor, drop rate is a massive factor also.

You can do BCNM in FF11 as many times as you have orbs but the drop rate will always be the main factor in whether you get the item you want or not.

Everyone had an O hat. It wasn't anything special. While I agree the system is a good one, it doesn't make the drop rare.

Everyone did have an O-hat, it didn't make the item any less useful, I don't understand why people have the need to parade around with rare items on, does it really make you feel that much better ?
