Why didn't they expand the hunting log?

There is no hunting log for classes 50-60 and none of the new jobs got hunting logs either.

It's kinda pointless content is my only guess, plus we have centurio hunt marks that are basically the same idea now and actually give something kinda useful.

Same reason we haven't got more armoury chest space, character data limitations.

Daily hunt bills are your new hunting log entries.

They probably felt killing 3 mobs for 2mil xp was too overpowered.

My guess is the lack of enough mobs at any given level? There is very little overlap between the various class' hunting logs. I don't think they had enough mobs for level 50, enough for level 51, enough for 52, etc. to avoid having significant overlap this time around. That's part of the problem with not having enough levels in a level cap increasing expansion.

The mobs wouldn't probably give many exp anyways. I guess FATEs and dungeons are enough, plus the daily hunt marks provide us with reasons to revisit areas. :)

A few reasons, I believe.

1) Like Twilite stated before, the amount of experience it would give you would be ridiculous.

2) As Dragonslayer45 suggested, new hunts mixes things up a bit.

3) It might not fit with the lore as well, since your hunt log was originally tied to the lore. You were supposed to be killing hunts to prove your worth to your guildmaster or to "understand the ways" of your job. That doesn't make as much sense with the new jobs.

4) New jobs already start at level 30, exactly halfway through the leveling process. If we were given a hunting log that operated like the first, people would level the jobs too quickly. SE uses lockouts to lengthen play time.

Can't do that with the new classes from levels 30-50

Jobs never got hunting logs, just classes.
And because we didn't get any new classes...

Unlike those other jobs these new jobs don't have base classes so I think they deserve hunting logs.

Um? 10 levels is more than enough and there's tons of new enemies in heavensward areas, definitely not the issue lol, especially since hunting log pages were 10 levels, not one....

Just like I said, centurio hunt marks are the new hunting log.

I wouldn't consider clan marks a replacement considering the new jobs have to do levels 30-50 to get to them.

You can't, but you have FATEs and plenty of other ways to level the new jobs to 50.

And? We have had that since 2.0 it's not a good reason not to have it if we did for the other classes.

That's the exact opposite conclusion as to what I was getting at there.
Only classes have hunting logs. There exists no class in this game without one.

Well these jobs deserve one even if they don't have a class in my opinion. After all they don't start at 50.

I did notice it as well, OP but the hunt log was essentially a mid level of experience points over the ten levels of log and something I see in heavens ward is no lack of experience. If you do all the quests, you will want at least two classes at 50 going in. Because I loafed around in 2.00 on MSQ I expect to have Whm to 60 before I ever enter HW and want one, maybe 2 other classes to 50 going in.

Short version, we didn't need the exper.
