    And I guarantee you that a lot less people would have been successful at Einherjar, or bothered to do it at all, if better groups could snatch it from you.

    Server side limitation is the absolute best way to preserve rarity.

    The ultimate flaw of greds thesis, and why I would deny him a PhD in 75cap, is the fact that he Piggybacked off the coattails of people who botted and did not contribute meaningfully to hnm camps

    With an overall evaluation of 0, that means I used 0 abilities, casted 0 spells, attacked 0 mobs.

    in fact i stood right in front of the dragon and did nothing.

    pretty high bar for getting some of the best gear in the game.

    I claimed two Kings without botting and the entire botting alliance claimed 0. But panda still convincing himself botting mattered.

    You of all people should understand how meaningless random dumb luck is in the scheme of a coordinated bot net and daily camps

    What you think everyone would have a ridill if fafnir was so difficult only 1% of teams could clear it?

    Good, do that 4 more times and you will be capped for the Earth day.

    D44k may have been slightly hyperbolic with his "afk in zone twice or something", but the dude proved his point.

    What point was that? That if you continually teleport into an instance and AFK for long enough while people fight something. That you eventually get "the best gear in the game" so XI is now an implied garbage "mobile game"?

    Yeah, it sure was proven. Shut the servers down!

    It is a bunch of jaded bitter nonsense. Where he tries to nitpick whatever backs up his cynical views on XI.

    I think his point was you can get some of the best gear while just afking in the event

    Sure, if that post occurred in a vacuum.

    Toss it on the pile of getting anything else without doing much more than showing up. It isn't something new.

    I'll take 13 randomly distributed chances over 12 ideally distributed chances.

    This is basic probability here.
