New NMs

[DurtiMonkeyToe]

Seriously? So you believe that there is no reason to have REALLY rare gear?

Absolutely. What is YOUR reasoning for wanting REALLY rare gear?

Absolutely. What is YOUR reasoning for wanting REALLY rare gear?

To make people unique.
To have an ultimate "item" and/or "goal" that makes you strive to play, and be better everyday.
To have you, and your LS mates stand out from the rest of the server.
To show dedication and loyalty to your LS (Because some people stop playing after they get what they want)

There are a number of reasons...There's a few for you.

Wow. People who support 24 hour pop NMs really need to go back in time and play more than FFXI. 21-24 are an awful game mechanic. If you need someone to tell you why... oh man.

I'd love for you to tell me why it should not be implemented AT ALL. Not state pro's and con's. I agree we should have a balance of instance and 21-24hr pops. Some people just want all of 1 thing, and that's never good.

1. I am unique because I am me. I don't need to camp some mob for 24 hours to get a piece of gear that will be obsolete with the next expansion pack.

2. My goal is to beat everything the game has to offer and will ever have to offer. Trying to 'get lucky' and get a claim on a mob that pops only once every 24 hours doesn't make me want to play.

3. My LS stands out because we do. Being the first to accomplish things sets us apart from the rest of the server.

4. Dedication does not equal camping the same mob at differing times to get a rare piece of equipment. Contrary to that, it shows selfishness that the only reason you have left to sign on is to continue questing for a piece of gear that is near impossible to get. Dedication is having everything you could possibly want and still signing on to help others get what they want.

Okay, 1 youre not unique if you use Dodore Doublet to craft. Everyone does.

2. If your goal is to beat it, then camp it, kill it once? You beat the game.

3. Your LS doesn't stand out for killing it first. I had first Dodore Doublet on server for months. Who CARES?

4. Dedication is camping something or killing something that doesn't benefit you, for your LS mates, can't understand that?

They don't want casuals to get their grubby little hands on it at all.

Casuals can look forward to it. Sure. Get it first few months? No thanks.

I bet it didn't stop you standing round Ul'dah showing it off when you first got it though, amiright ?

You're absolutely right, and if these NMs were done right, I'd still be standing in Ul'dah showing it off. Except now I just look like everyone else (3months later).

That'll change tomorrow. A couple months from now everyone will be wearing the stuff the new NMs drop instead of dodore doublets. Then you can be unique when you put yours on and be all "Hay guyz, remember when this was teh uber crftng geerz?" ^_^
