Daily hunts to include FATE bosses...

Regular mark bills...not Elite, which drop the most seals. If you don't like it, don't do it. You can hunt the Elite ones, even if there is no bill marked, and still get seals.

Thing is: Weekly Lockout on Elite Marks. It's not good design if your players are expected to avoid the system 6 days a week simply because of a decision to throw in FATEs yet again, but it doesn't sound like it's actually FATEs.

Just a lockout on the billboard added rewards. Players still get seals (and a chance at item drops) from killing elite marks.

You misunderstood. Elite Mark Bills may or may not be tied to a given FATE, that wasn't clarified. Only the Regular Mark Bills were quoted as possibly being tied to a FATE, which are updated daily. Regardless, the NMs that appear for Elite Mark Bills can spawn anywhere, anytime, similar to NMs in FFXI. They will drop Allied Marks.

So let's say the Elite Mark Bill calls for an NM that is only available in a FATE (doubtful, but let's go for it). You don't like that. You can still look for other NMs, and still get seals. The only reason the Bills are in place is to keep people who have less time to hunt able to stay up to speed.

If you have the time to do elite marks. Nobody knows what the spawn timers are going to be like yet. If it's anything like Odin and behemoth alot of people won't ever have a chance at those. People with just a little bit of time each day could at least count on getting their daily hunt done for seals. Unless they get a fate one that day and during the hour they have to play the fate never spawns so they have nothing to show for their play time.

I don't know what your point is. No, we don't know the spawn timers yet, so why worry about it? If there's enough of them in the world, you can kill them while farming FATEs or something. Make an LS that tracks them down, whatever.
