Serious question...

What is actually fun about “endgame” and camping HNM’s non stop? Been playing for quite along time (only a year on Nas) and it seems to me the “fun” is in everything that isn’t endgame. The drama alone turns me off of it

getting to play with idiots like tristt

As someone who has been in endgame on retail/Nasomi for 10+ years now, let me take this one. From retail, endgame is about the accomplishing something bigger than yourself. It's about putting collective will against SE's designs and playing a part in tackling that content. I'm talking about the 4-hour Kirins back in 2003/04, the first AV that sat up over 24hours with a thread on BGforums, the first PW fights(and kill?) by BTL, TS straight tanking/fighting AV for over 3 hours, etc. The competition/drama adds even more fuel because Nasomi, much like old retail, doesn't use pop items. That means there are a finite number of abj/dring/other items being put into the game every week/month/year. You'll most likely find people in every shell who still would want to camp HNMs after everyone in their group already is maxed out. The camaraderie isn't to be understated either, I have friends I still talk to from DBO(03-04)/DFI(04-06)/SP(08-12) on Siren and I have quite a few who have quit Nasomi but we still play other games together/keep in touch.


But TL;DR:

At the end of the day, what's fun to you may not be fun to someone else, but that doesn't matter because you get to choose your own fate. Some people get joy and satisfaction out of competing and progressing to be the best; some get joy out of things like exploring and exping, and so on. The people who choose to be apart of endgame are a part of the former, the people who desire to be the best (or min/maxed as some may say).

Camping HNMs nonstop isn't fun. it kinda sucks. killing big things is really fun. a person's definition of "fun" is going to vary a lot. crafting and fishing are really fun for some people. others just love farming nonstop. fun is relative. hell, some people think the HNM drama is fun. lots of people don't even play this game anymore but have fun on the forums.

ballista , assault , einherjar , bcnms 60+ , salvage , besieged , the island pvp , functioning garrisons , functioning ZNM , functioning zones , bahamut v2 , ENM , garrissons , better control on duping , functionality in ToAU , Chocobo Raising , Racing , eco warriors( im probly the only one who misses these) , many KSNM .

everything this server is missing basically

All things missing that I feel like many held out for over the past several years . He has teased several of these things leading to hope they may actually come. Besieged/assaults/PVP(of some form)/garrisons/more stable zones/BCNM/ENM have all been teased.And likely more of what I have listed but those for sure.(cant say enough about him not having one of the only important bcnm's in the game for YEARS , and leaving it so people can afk claim LoO.)

Not here to shit on server but its just facts. logged in for the first time in 6 months , played for about 5mins before realizing my only option is farm or XP. A lot of the things missing function as buffers for people who just want to have fun.

Worst part of all is the things that used to work that he gave up on fixing and just removed.

I completely understand and sympathize with your complaints. Just saying though, take it from someone who has played on multiple other servers at this point - there are servers with at least some of the content you mentioned that have it implemented already or actively being worked on. At the very least they're open about what is being worked on instead of radio silence for literal months to years. This project has always been too much for one person to handle solo. Nasomi is not the only viable option these days and people are realizing it.
