Are Hunts Ruining Final Fantasy XIV?

It makes me laugh that people are going so crazy over these hunts for the sands and oils of time when the high allagan gear is still the best in slot. I would rather devote my time to working through the second coil then deal with the angry mob.

I agree however if people don't have crazy devoted FC's to do that kinda stuff but they want the gear this is the alternative. But the alternative is mindless drivel that's making everything redundant. Ramuh is pointless now. Why even do it? Bragging rights? Nobody cares anymore. Hunts need to be nerfed bad. And soon.

I know ppl who've been clearing T6-T9 regularly and are still stuck on 1-2 pieces of loot. With the weekly lockout and RNG, SCoB by itself is not a reliable way to gear up. Hunts provide a good alternative route - the current implementation of them however needs to be fixed. Also, I'm pretty sure that some of the upgraded soldiery gear is actually BiS over High Allagan, similar to how some myth gear used to be BiS vs Allagan Gear back during the i90 days.

I wish SE would come out and say something instead of remaining silent.

2nd week with Naul as elite and I yet to be able to get full credit. Lucky if I get 1 seal. Quite a waste of my time considering it seems there are players who seem to know where he spawns. God forbid if I find him first (if I get lucky) and start wailing on him to try and get my full credit, others would get nasty even though they have been doing it themselves.

It makes me laugh that you think that every HA piece is best in slot.

Well I am already done with gearing (i110) and T9 before Patch 2.3. A handful of people want the seals for minions and vanity gears.

It is absurd that se impose weekly limit on 115 & 110 (scob & soldiery) and even 100 (syrcus) but let the hunt unlimited! Odin & behemoth fates are just similar to the hunt, but even worse, it just destroy the atmosphere by giving out not just vanity gear!

I joined a hunting party for the first time tonight. I actually had a ton of fun.. Sure we didn't get to every mob before it was destroyed and I probably didn't get full credit on even one of them. At the end of the night I got a pretty good amount of seals and tomestones and that was more than enough for me. Of course, no one threatened to kill anyone over pulling a mob early or anything.. A little bit of butt hurt but otherwise a fairly amicable group.

It is not the Hunting feature ruining all, it is the behavior of some community, whose hunting have triggered their best of. A zerg made of raging kids.
Rest assured then someone claims they have been forced to use radar app and all fault is on SE.

Only down side for me is, whenever I'm doing something else, and see my hunt ls say this or that spawn, I'm like wish m not doing what m doing the moment, and be on that hunt. In a way it reduce my overall willingness to do anything else in game (help ppl, enjoy the game etc)
