this new game director producer does not know what he is doing.

NM's pop as fast as regular mobs and appear to have a 100% drop rate.

Because its so much more fun camping a mob for hours at a time, killing the same mob over and over again just in the hope that in 1 of the 100 kills you the item you want will drop, right?

parties are awarded an automatic buff when formed.

Yes, why should party play be encouraged!?

took away collision detection from player to player for no reason.

Because we all love other players blocking entrance and getting in the way when we're trying to get about.

world still copy / pasted.

Surly it can't take long to completely re-model and entire world!

no mention of getting rid of the teleportation & anima garbage.

Is teleportation not an efficient means of transport? Sure, Chocobos and Airships look cool, but from playing FFXI I seem to teleport spells and outpost warps being a much prefered method of getting around.
