This is like the only thread about hunts that I could find that's positive about it.
Was gonna make a new thread but I'll use yours instead to express my opinions!
So far I am reaaally enjoying hunts. I think it's really fun exploring eorzea, and see other people around as awell scouting and such.
Also so far I've had ablast in the groups i've been in and we're having so much fun.
The hunt is best during the morning cause then the more mature ppl seem to play. Last morning we actually planned in what order to kill all the monsters (if we found multiple monsters) through /shout. Ls wasn't relly needed cause everyone shared
And then as more ppl get online there will be more early pullers, and for some reason ppl don't let them die, instead they start attacking to soo afraid this ilvl 85 bard is gonna get the rank A monster all by himself.
And during the evening hunting is nearly impossible.
if you managed to get one A out of 3 you should consider yourself lucky.
Then later at the start of the night the immature ppl have to sleep cause they are probably just 12 or so and then it's nice doing hunts again!
I think the good things about hunts outwheighs the bad things, so I really like it. I also like how much myth we get. it was getting rather tiresome to do the same dungeons all the time for myth, so now I can get all my myth I need through hunts and I love it.
All the S ranks and A ranks can drop Logs which gives sands and that is nice too cause that makes you excited over every A and S monster (I actually got 3 logs yesterday)
Another downside wich I really dislike is that my server has some people that teleports around the map to find monsters, and when someone finds a monster they tp to that location instantly
Apparantly it's not against the ToS to use programs to teleport around where ever you want (else they would've been banned a long time ago right?)
And the persons who DO tp around all the time are also one of those that always pull 2-3 min early wasting half the servers populations time when they try to get to the monster.
tl;dr
There are some issues with hunts, but overall I really love it and I don't want them to change anything about it
Edit: I want to ask a question too
Whydo you want them to make a hunt lockout for seals? We have millions of lockouts that are forcing us to play in a specific way instead of going our own way (Like coil 2 and St where you can only get one loot per week
Does anyone really enjoy being locked out from content?
I've got 7 or 8 sands so far and this is the first time I feel like I can progress in my own pace. I mean like soldiery, when they first released it, everyone who capped were at the same page, whether they played more than others or not, cause they couldn't get more soldiery due to the cap
