This is why Hardcore Content SUCKS.

[Nabiri]

You shouldn't expect everything and every NM to be "casual friendly." Other people need content that they like too.

Also, perhaps going after it on the first night wasn't a the best idea.

+1.

Time, to me, is precious. If a game makes me waste more than an hour for a single item drop, someone in the dev team *** up.

Seriously? You should be thankful that they are even spawning this fast. At this rate, if you go either tomorrow or the next day there will be no one there and you will be able to get everything you want because everyone in the server will have already got it. :P Your problem is not because the game isn't casual friendly, is that you and your party members just couldn't claim the NM.

Respawns EVERY 5 minutes or less? The NM basically claims you. -Klaus Volka

Dear SilvertearRen,

[Removed by Moderator according to the FINAL FANTASY XIV FORUM Guidelines.] They made these NMs TOO easy. 3-5 min pops?? That is a joke. There is nothing wrong with being a casual player, but you should be rewarded as such. You can't be a casual player and get the same gear as hardcore players. There needs to be difficulty in obtaining gear to make it challenging to the people who are willing to put in the time and effort. That is the only thing that differentiates hardcore and casual players. This is also just a simple fact about MMO's. There is easy and hard content to please everyone. Moral of the story - You can't expect to get good gear if your not going to put in the time and effort so stop whining.

The point is that this game is badly balanced in terms of time investment-to-payout ratio.

go QQ some more. The entire MMO genre revolves around NM competition. It's just one of those things that is in every game. WoW? It had competitive NMs. FFXI? Same thing. RoM? Same. Thing. If you can't handle competition for CASUAL content, you should just leave now because if/when NMs get harder and the competition actually becomes competition (8+ people from different LS all after the same mob) then you will probably /wrist because you can't handle not getting spoonfed everything.

All in all you should be rewarded for the work you put into it.

Put no work you get garbage gear.
Put in alot of work you get the best gear in the game.

It is as simple as that.


And these nms are not competition. I remember the days in DA with over 200 people camping it... people here are raging if they are not solo camping a nm that spawn every 3!!!! or so mins.

Wait until SE releases something really good and you have all the big shells all camp it at once. Jps, Eus, and NAs hardcore endgame groups each bringing 2-3 full partys to make sure they get the claims. Then you will see true competition.

If you cannot stand the little bit of competition you see now, you are horribly spoiled by hand holding western mmos and honestly are not in the right the genre. As the poster above me said basically this is what a mmo is all about

[Peregrine]

The NMs will all be sporadically fought within 2 weeks. Everyone just chill and let the campers have their fun now.

[Dubont]

I'm going to make a mule on OP's server and continuously camp the NM she is after. Then, after I get the item, I'm going to camp MORE just so she will eventually ragequit and get out of our game lol

[Ennvy]

I think I wasted 2 hours of my life reading this crap lol. Im going to bed. XD

[Jynx]

People complaining that new content is overcamped and overused is hillarious. Hell I remember when they first introduce the "Adventuring companion" in XI. I waited for hours for my turn in the massive line of people lining up for the instanced fight that could only be done...

One person at a time.

[BoltNixter]

Fail... This is a mmo, if you dont have time, go play a non-mmo game. "period"

MMO = lots of hrs.
Non-MMO = cpl hrs.

And to add, i would have put them at least 15min~ 30min and some more.
