Does BlueGartr want more world spawn NM/HNM?

[Benihana]

I see a lot of posts/posters on the official forums that despise world spawn nms. I wanted to know whether people here would welcome more world spawns into the game. I'm not just talking about HNMs such as Tiamat, Khimaira, Sandworm, and and kings. I also mean NMs like Simurgh, Serket, King Arthro, and others.

Most NMs now are forced spawns. I think they were a healthy addition to the game, as not everyone has the time to camp world spawns, but I don't think world spawns should be abandoned completely. Was camping fun for you, and do you miss it? If you didn't like camping, was it because you had limited time or because of botters? What are some ways you recommend SE implement world spawns so as to not make it overbearing? Do you feel that any world spawn will always bring bots into the picture?

I feel as long as world spawns don't carry vastly superior gear, it would add to ffxi positively. The problem comes when the world spawns are the only way to obtain gear. It leads to over-camping and botting, which was obvious with Nid, KB, and Aspid. Just having forced spawns is boring to me. Even if the forced spawns were harder, it just isn't the same as a world spawn in my opinion. I wouldn't have the time to camp many world spawns, but I would enjoy camping them from time to time.

When answering, could you please include a rough estimate of your daily playtime, your thoughts on NM/HNM camping, and your opinion on what makes a mob an NM. For example, I really don't consider those 15minute pop monsters in abyssea NMs. I also plan on making a similar post on the official forums.

Only botters want more world spawns.
Having wait times on shit is a shitty way to set rarity of gear.
If new world spawn mobs gear isn't great, whats the point in adding them, nobody will do them.
Why is this here?
Why am I answering this ?

I dont think anyone really wants 21-24hr spawned nms anymore. If you really want to compete with 40-50 other bots then so be it, but abyssea has made things a lot funner for everyone. Sure its way to easy, but you dont have to sit there for 4hrs waiting on something you probably wont get to fight anyway. Einherjar and Voidwatch are probably the best system for fighting high teir nms. Even znm wasnt bad. They just made zeni retarded to get. And vnm are dumb now that apradar cant pick them up. Chasing down a non stop moving invisible mob is more frustrating than not claiming a 24hr spawn mob. Either way im sure this thread will get flamed pretty hard. But good luck on whatever you're trying to accomplish.

BG wants people to spell "Does" properly.

Mostly this. Also, I don't care whether there are world spawns as long as I don't have to go too far out of my way to buy their drops.

Camping argus (and finally getting the drop after three fucking kills) was one of the most tortuous, awful, and ultimately exhilerating virtual experiences of my life. That being said, I want all who come after me to suffer as I have suffered in order to gain the same achievement, and would resent any changes to his spawn conditions to make it easier. It would diminish the significance of the sacrifices I made.

Just kidding! Who gives a shit anymore. Better late than never that they fix some of this shit. Just cause it sucked then doesn't mean it should suck forever.

As a supplier, I wish every NM would be timed spawn with tons of competition.

[Mercilessturtle]

I doses want less stupid polls on BG.

[Michelob]

Some of my favorite days of FFXI were running and camping Roc, Simurgh, Serket, Cassie, King Arthro, etc. even against rmt and botters. I still claimed my fair share and it was always such a rush for me back then. I would welcome world spawns back with open arms.

[tsola]

I basically do everything via shouts these days, so I wouldn't be very fond of world spawn NMs. I'd like to be able to participate in new content that's added. If anything, I hope they add more salvage style events.

[Haborym]

... I hope they add more salvage style events.

This, I loved salvage.

[Skeelo]

They need to make Nyzul 101-200. That was by far my favorite event in the game.

[KCem]

FFXI's playerbase isn't the same now as it was when world spawn NMs were in their prime, I don't think it'd support them so well anymore. Most of the hardcore camper's who camped 24/7 are gone now, and those that are remaining are too old for that shit now, and have jobs/families to worry about more then sitting in a new aery.

The Abyssea/New-Dynamis route (??? popable NMs) along with instanced content (Salvage, Limbus, stuff already mentioned) is the route SE is taking to keep existing players playing, and what small population of new players there is, coming in.

[Yugl]

Limbus was easily the best pre-abyssea event. Anyone who denies this needs to check themselves.

[Colenzo]

How about more content to do that yields awesome gear instead of world spawns that are botted to shit. Or what about old content that is worthless made useful again?

[Aurara]

No world spawns please, did that shit for too long, was boring as fuck.

[Lyramion]

Basically I hate world spawn NMs... but there could be 1 exception:

Make the NM fucking strong. Like almost AV level 75 strong, so ppl can toy around with it whenever they feel like, not a retardedly long spawn path beforehand.

[Rocl]

idc if its world spawn but no long repop, jesus christ no 21-24 or longer jesus fuck

[Jeryhn]

I think we should have a forum dedicated directly towards worldspawn NM/HNM.

Also, we should have a Big Kills widget on it, shit would be so cash.
