Please, for the love of god make ARR and HW hunts harder!

I know S rank targets in ARR were designed for level 50 but now you rarely ever see anyone below level 70 attend these and the targets are dead within 10 seconds. They USED to be a group effort to spawning and taking them down, but all I hear now is trolls snapping back at players who weren't there to spawn them or didn't arrive before it was pulled. It is very frustrating and the game community has become toxic with the trolls at hunts that some of my in-game friends have even stopped going to ARR and HW hunts because they don't want to be enbittered by the impatient early pulls and toxic attitudes in /sh.

But if you want to still keep them to benefit the minority of players at level 50 and 60 then why not make their difficulty adjust to the player attacking them? It is surely not impossible to make a level 50 target as powerful as a level 70 towards a level 70 player as this kind of monster scaling has been seen in other games. Failing that why not make them like a FATE target where you need to adjust your level to match the target?

Please SE, there's no reason to keep these targets as easy as they are to benefit a minority of players. All it's doing is destroying what was once a fun and friendly community and turning hunts into a game of trolls. I've grown to detest hunts in the 6 months I've been playing since my return because of this very attitude, the only people who are really benefiting are the trolls and that is very unfair to the rest of the players. Please don't turn a blind eye to this.

I do agree that the ARR A and S ranks could use some more love.
Maybe they could add level-sync to them.
I also think they need to do something with Allied seals. Either get rid of them or give them some use.

Are they trolls, though?
There's already a large topic talking about this exact subject. Perhaps you should check it out.

i completely agree this has been asked and suggested many times but every time yoshi or someone answers it, its answered with a nonsense question like this recent one that was asked here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comme...ited_masamune/

All he answers is something about it being a negative effect on new players trying to do the hunts which really doesn't make much sense. new players cant do hunts until lvl 50 and at lvl 50 they have no issues doing the hunts even if they had more hp or were a little harder. The biggest issue is that the hunts die way to quick now that everyone is lvl 70 and doing 10k+ damage per hit sometimes. Which makes it more difficult because people could still be on the way to a hunt that will literally die in a few seconds. It just seems that this is an issue because all it does is cause more drama between the players and no one wants that. If hunts at least had more hp so they took longer to kill it would give people more time to make it to the hunt in time and that means less people shouting and complaining at each other and fighting. That's just my opinion at least

That is nonsensical. Level 50's don't have much of a chance at the ARR hunts because the level 70s are murdering them within seconds.

You are completely wrong, as a lvl 50 shouldnt be worried about hunts as much in the first place, and most importantly hunters party up, rarely does anyone do it solo and even a lvl 70 doing it solo wont get enough damage in usually. Thats why eveyrone parties up because you get more marks for the whole party contribution. Being level 50 does not matter one bit if you hunt the way you should be hunting by joining hunt parties. Even lvl 50 should get max seals for each hunt just by hitting it once if they are in a full party. That much should be common sense to you honestly. If you didn't know that then you are not really a hunter.

I struggle with early pulls as by the time I've loaded in (ps4 and EU on a NA server) it's already dead. I can't do hunts during peak times, and other times there are not always enough people to do it :/
I have a really narrow hunting window. I don't shout at people, but I've just learnt I can't do it at those times
