Discussion on Solutions to the Current Issues of Elite Marks

[Kerrigen]

If doing FATEs gave you sands, everyone and their mother would be doing them too, and they would be doing them up until and past the release of 2.4.

Agreed. The issue doesn't really lies within The Hunt itself, but with the rewards. They're really too high compared to the rest of the content introduced in 2.3.
I don't want them to nerf The Hunt, but some incentive to keep the rest of the content alive and healthy would help driving some of the players away from the Hunt and would make it work like they probably envisioned it while solving some of the issues.
Like removing freaking filtered water and cooking sherry from boss chests and replacing them with something worthwhile (like something akin to the blood spattered books with a lowish drop rate) would be a nice first step.

Actually, the reward isn't the issue. The issue is everyone is at the gold (sand) rush. ATM you have everyone rushing to get the new gears, once the hardcore players are done, the numbers will become less. This isn't new, as we have seen it many times with all the seasonal events, as well as with any new item releases.

We just finished day 3 on the new patch, wait and see how many people are still at those hunts 2 weeks from now.

Slightly getting better on Bs, I guess.
