Anyone whose spent time in FFXI's "Endgame" (that's a horrible misnomer btw) know how
asinine the Zilart NM's are. You have 300 people cramped into a tiny space all waiting to voke one mob for 3 hours. Of the whole 3 hours most people spend collectively 7mins paying attention. The only real challenge in the DA is not to flame the retards who thinks "/em pokes Fafnir" is still funny after 4 years... Shit gets old real quick.
Instances in games like WoW and EQ2 are so much better, it would seem that these game developers don't expect us to plan every waking moment of our lives around our virtual crack habit. It would seem with the newer content SE has been catching on, all of TouA is instanced based, but i barely have time to do salvage/limbus/nyzule/einh(tab)/Nyzule Isle because of KingFafhoggplionde windows up or cerb is due, or Tiamat, or KH.
Things would be a lot more interesting if all these HNMs were surrounded by True Sight aggro mobs that conned T-IT for @lvl75. This way I wouldn't be afk 90% of the time and botting would be less of an issue.
