Are Hunts Ruining Final Fantasy XIV?

No. Poor player behavior is not restricted solely to hunts.

Perhaps but the hunts have magnified the true nature of some people to absurd degrees.

I just told my brother that they were and then I saw this thread. Here's the thing, if you give casuals an easy way to get "hardcore items" then the hardcore players are just going to monopolize it. It was a great idea but terrible in practice.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I'm seeing on my server. The hoards that win every monster, getting all their top marks are the people who used to do SCOB. So, the method they created to give more casual players a chance, just allowed "the rich to get richer."

Is a completely optional thing ruining my game? No. I have decided to wait on hunts until after the hype rush like atma. Im still trying to get thru t5 and moogle ex. Hunts can wait.

Besides therell be more room for me once the great hunt ragequit happens.

Cant stop people from defaulting to the "most efficient method"

I just want a training dummy so I've ignored hunts completely save for the first couple of hours I tried to do them.

That's the funniest part about this whole thing. A guy in my static basically refuses to do any of the other new content now as well because it "doesn't offer as good as rewards as hunts do" or some nonsense. Super irritating because it's become hard to get anyone together to do things like Ramuh.

No, you're right. But, does that mean that a small percentage of the total population trying to do these should be able to take all of the rewards, leaving a lot of people with nothing but frustration?

As long as they do their stuff, hunting 24/7, I don't mind at all, it's their game time.

But respect goes both ways - Don't bash anyone because they happened to be at one spot before you.

a Hunt is a game, let every players the opportunity to kill, no provoke and reset, play the game fairly, and all is good.

Yes, when people play fair and don't use cheating apps to do so.

Nope, it's the people that are ruining the game for others, not for me of course, I don't give a damn if someone blocks me for pulling before their whole LS got there, besides, tears are sweet.
