For the people annoyed at a longer grind ... well all I can say is that patience is a virtue ... you don't need to be full 110 within a week

If we were 110 in a week we wouldn't care about the nerf, because we wouldn't need seals.
I've been doing DF and dungeons, thats why I didn't already get all the seals I need, and now people like me are being nerfed and those who just did Hunts were not.

If the B only counts if you have the mark bill for it (which would be pants on head retarded), getting the achievement seems like the exact opposite of impossible considering they respawn every 5 seconds.

I just don\\'t understand what the problem was. I am a casual player and I had absolutely no problem by killing B, A and S hunts. Join a party, search for hunt, wait a few minutes and then pull. It felt like hunting! This concept worked out most of the time.
Now B hunts are almost useless - everyone will only do A and S hunts, because they are rewarding - more than the 50 seals/week.

This is just my opinion but I will also accept the new way the hunts are.

But hunts were the very definition of "getting things at your own pace"

Log in, hop in a group, get seals.

What you want, it to have things handled to you and NOT play with people in a mmorpg. Stop being lazy, get in a group and do hunts. You are playing a mmorpg.

I think the problem was there was a small amount of people, vocal minority that wanted to solo hunts and didn't want to join a party or linkshell. So we got the changes we have today. Personally I don't see the point of hard core soloers, multiplayer and playing with a party and group of people should be the point of a MMO since it isn't a solo game.

Well, considering that was INTENDED for Bs, I don't really see how they were wrong to think that way.

I approve of these changes. I did the hunts to 110 a set of gear then dropped the linkshell and stopped doing hunts. The damage done by the hunts to the PF and DF times was horrible.

Now i can just throw mark bills into my daily routine, to gear an alt that i dont really care about, without dealing with dreadful hunts.

some people are too slow or have a slow PC.

or just too lazy to hunt. so they were complaining on the forums instead.

Uhm, hello?? Getting things at your own pace is now the right definition for the B rank, it is a great change for those who rather solo and do things with a friend or two. Except that if I read correctly, it only rewards seals if the B mob is in your daily hunt list, and it does not give you mythology and soldiery tome? As for the rank A and S, it does not receive any changes, so these will be hunt zerg by everyone else, and still gives you the most rewards for your buck?

Alliance hunt and zerg is the definition of "to have things handed to you" by simply following the pack, hope and pray that the other group have the decency to wait for your alliance, which in most cases, not going to happen. And the name calling and blacklisting can begin again...

On my server Bs weren't ignored, now that As are the only option for a continued hunt they will be killed early all the time. There will be too many people going to each A because they will be more rare and people will pull sooner since waiting for everyone will result in getting less then full credit.
More people on less monsters = early pulls/rage or not getting full credit. That doesn't seem like a good idea to me
