The main problem is yes hunting is too beneficial if you only grind 250 seals a day to buy a bloody book then your getting a sands or oil in 3 days. 3 days beats being loot locked out for a week like ct2 and coil 2. I'm not even going to mention the people who hunt all day everyday lol. But yeah hunting pretty much eliminated any reason for people to progress through the second coil as well as anyone working towards an novus weapon. Why would anyone want to spend millions on ridiculous priced materia IV's to upgrade their weapon when in days they can get and unweathered I110 weapon?
