    20x higher? Really... That would put us at 140 seals a day. From dailies... So I should be able to ding 50 and be i90 in 2 or 3 days and you consider that respectable? While I agree that the current dailies are pitiably low, I think that for the purposes of this discussion, the OP pretty much hit the nail on the head. Of course changes like this 'should' be balanced in some way, that's not really the point of discussion here. And Zerg hunts need mitigating.

    I got 600 in 2 sessions of hunts that I know nothing about. Just running around in a map where I'm told to, reporting monsters I find, teleporting to maps people report. Gear balance/fairness has already jumped out of the window, did 3 back flips, water walked across the lake, ran off the cliff and kept running.

    Anyway, I think the seal rewards should be multiplied by 10 for dailies. 700 a week, about almost enough for 1 sand a week for people who simply don't want to deal with zergfest elite marks where the best way to get 'gold' is to tag and overheal, not actually participating in the killing.

    Uh, I don't know if you noticed, but this is already how it is. Myth is stupid easy to get.

    And there are two huge myth sinks...
    Atma -> Animus (13500 required)
    Animus -> Novus (1500 required + 800 per map you decide to buy)

    Crafting mats...

    Your myths could be used to buy crafting mats that you can sell if you don't need them for anything else...

    That comment was in regards to people equipping to i90 too easily, which happens well before animus/novus grind starts. Gearing to i90 was already very easy. More seals wouldn't change that.

    Yes but since everyone is doing that the price on them is dropping and it almost makes it pointless :P
    I honestly wish we could trade myth for the old crafting mats like potash etc....I need more Vanya silk than Cashmere to be honest :/

    You realize the more cunning players would just join the zerg and be geared in full i90 in a few hours, right?

    Nerfing the rewards from the hunt zerg isn't an option at this point. That ship has sailed. People would complain that the people who did the hunts first got ridiculously huge rewards while the newer players got screwed over. It's time to stop thinking in terms of nerfing hunts and in terms of buffing other things. Considerably fewer people would feel compelled to join the horde and slaughter the hunts, especially the B hunts, if they had some viable alternative.
