the hunts made me hate this community now

What if they changed the timer of A's to every 15 minutes instead of 4 hours. That way you have 8 or so parties hunting, each one can pick a zone, farm the crap out of their spawn, and not have to zerg the crap out of the limited spawns.

Or you could just give players a sands of time for logging in each day. Or for jumping.

I honestly see no issue with hunts. I do them enough to cap my soldiery each week and still have more than enough time to do second coil, farm ramuh, farm moogle ex, and level/gear all my other jobs. I don't do other content less because of hunts, the only people that do are the people who only play the game for i110 welfare gear which is just shameful anyways.

ET = Eorzea Time.
ET = 1 bell, AKA 1 hour, AKA 60 minutes
RL Time for every In-game 1 hour = 2 minutes, 55 seconds
2.5 hours = waited over 6 minutes... He definitely gave enough of a chance.

I agree that the hunt have ruined the game and a lot of people I used to consider friends have become scum bags. Its like they have a crack addiction. The will not put a weekly cap on the even if they did they would continue hunting for drops or mythos or solids . they need to give us a way to get more seals on our own. To tell you the truth I loved this game before the hunts. Now I can barely stand it long enough to do my daily's. These Hunting elite scumbagearlypullingtrolls are ruining the game for a lot of people. They all have really nice gear and a library of blood splattered logs, must be nice. But for the poor souls on ps3 or that don't know the In crowd get nothing. Look at the forums. I don't see a lot of happy people. It has ruined a lot of my friendships. Sad sad sad. I don't know why they get 1000s of seals while we get 7 maybe a day from the posted hunts. Yea good looking SE way to look out for the little guy. Last I checked we all pay the same amount

My fc activity has gone from 10-15 players a night to 3-5 at once. Counting me, ive hardly been logging on as much as i used to. Quite the most destructive patch to have come.

OK that makes sense. I thought he was talking eastern time zone. That would have been bananas, still nobody should ever complain about waiting 6 mins for a B rank.

I'd be happy with hunts if they were more of an actual hunt or challenge. I know for a fact that not one person on this forum or even at that cesspoll over at Alla ever asked for a mob that spawns once an hour, for the entire server to converge on and destroy in a matter of 5 seconds that would reward oils and other top tier gear that previously came out of raids. Not even one.

So, hunts ARE fundamentally flawed in that they have rendered a lot of other content obsolete and frankly, unnecessary. Why bother with ST for 1 piece of i100 a week or maybe 1 oil when you can just be an aggressive jerk and get an entire set from hunts in far less time? I'm still trying desperately to get into coils but no one in my group cares about them because it's easier to just do mindless hunts.

So in short I think you are very wrong about the reasons behind the majority of players disliking hunts. Many of us play the game for the social aspect and the challenge of overcoming obstacles with our friends. You know, the whole idea behind every RPG, EVER - fight a big bad guy who is about to destroy everything you and your friends know and love.

Hunts should have been an interesting side activity that rewarded the same level or a little lower than ST. There's no reason it should rain i110 stuff on people, and if it didn't, entire servers wouldn't at each other's throats.

I agree, look at the progression: Relic quest line: zero challenge, Hunts: zero challenge. Grind != content. I would so much rather have challenging, engaging content than mindless, dumb grinds. I can't stand the fact that to get Novus and i110 you just stare at your screen and follow the zerg. The only challenge in this game anymore is remembering why I'm paying for it each month.
