It doesn't make any difference to me. I wouldn't join any such hardcore server.

Live and let live.

Just don't try to implement this shit across the board. Most of the player base of FFXI of which I was a part of has since grown up and got a life. I don't have the time to invest in 16+ hours of game play per day.

1-5 minute spawn times are alien to me... I'm used to FFXI.

Fighting the new NMs as R50 is too easy, many can be solo'd with ease. It is hard to give feedback regarding this without trying to kill these mobs using jobs at the required level to use the items that they drop. I expect pop times are currently set so fast to maximise the feedback given in a short time period.

This was also a fault I found with FFXI. Great if you have a max level job to get you the gear for the next job you level. If you don't then you had better have some high level friends lol...
