Piping:Legit or not?

[NetNomad]

People might say piping is illegit because it gets rare enemies faster... but keep in mind that piping gets INCREDIBLY boring, and in one sense it's a measure of determination... just like doing hunts. The only difference is you're actually killing things to get to that point, but the tradeoff is that you don't get any exp through piping except from the rare enemy itself (and any you have to mow down to get to it).

I've piped a lot of stuff, including my two rarest weapons (Lavis and Rainbow Baton). I love seeing rare monsters, and sometimes that little jolt you get when you see one appear makes the piping worthwhile (which is not to say I pipe for more than an hour at a time, and I don't do it nearly as much as I used to do now that I'm online).
