Band-Aid fix on hunts didn't work

[Dyvid]

Producer already said A and S ranks are tough cookies that you better call for help and join a party in the live letter before 2.3.

You expect A and S ranks, equivalent to NM/HNM class monsters to be SOLO-ABLE? REALLY? Which MMO have open world NM/HNM bosses not being zerg'd down by multiple parties but being solo-able or managed by a few chaps?

Yes this game has solo-play and group play, but this is a MMORPG so this means that this game is by large a group play.

Complaining that you have to join a group for a MMORPG is like... IDK - go play your single player console RPG game then

Please, read the live letter and show me where it says it's mandatory to join a party? Second why do you think you have to be in a party to be social? I have no issue pulling it when only 4 to 8 players show up except when the rest of the self entitled horde show up screaming because I we didn't wait. Also as I stated you can't be in a party if queued up for DF. I know it hard for someone like you to understand but some of us are doing hunts as a pass time while we do other things in the open world. We are gathering, doing treasure maps, guildleve, FATE for atma, Animus books, Beastmen dailies, and sightseeing. I'm not logging in with the solo purpose to grind hunts.

First off OP, if your doing hunts on SMN, and things are dying less then like 20 seconds, you should switch off SMN and go to your BLM, (if your going out of party).
On average BLMs, and BRDs for DPS, have the highest potential to get the highest gains on all ranks that last less then 20 seconds. On BLM on B and A ranks, both dying roughly in the same time on my server, I can still get full credit out of a party assuming I'm there when its first pulled. Raging Strikes+ Fires and Double Flare rotation pretty much solidifies you on contribution for both.

My key issue is I shouldn't have too change over. We shouldn't get blisted from the community because we are using Hunts like the devs envisioned, "Rank B maximum HP has been raised from solo to light party level, Rank A maximum HP has been raised from light party to full party level.". We should get reward without the need to be in a party, "some of the elite marks are so powerful, it would be in your best interest to shout for help before trying to lay a hand on them."

Either the devs need to fix this or we need to change the our mind set on how A and B should be handled because right now 30 people on light party/full party content isn't working.
