Because of Hunts~~

That's possibly how it is on your server, but this isn't a gamewide problem.

I still get near instaqueues for just about all content I queue up for (granted, I'm a healer but still.) My load times haven't really increased at all.

You have to understand that when new content is added that isn't dungeons and it allows for players to do something else, most players are probably going to go do [thing]. It's not just Hunts either. Most of the people I know are spamming the crap out of Frontlines instead of queuing for dungeons.

The only thing I've really seen a change in is people using PF. There's a lot less PF groups now that Hunts and Frontlines are a thing.

Hunts just need some more balance, but they're not really breaking the game.

Also, running dungeons with your FC...why is this a bad thing? Aside from running Low Level Roulette, I don't understand why that's a complaint you have? I'd honestly rather run dungeons for Animus books or High/EX Roulette with my FC than with pugs. I at least know my FC's members can get through the content without problems.

I think the dev team just needs to balance stuff out, but people need to stop blaming the newest thing to come into the game for "killing the fun".

T5 is here since almost a year, Titan ext for 8 months, and you expect people to be still interrest in this contents ? when you can have better stuff just at doing levi ? (which is free now you don't need to clean ext primal to do it)
This is allready boring to have to do fate and now hunt each new patch, doing same useless boss for months is the same, and echo buff crash every fun we could have on titan or other "hard" boss.

If the raids/dungeons were fun people would still be doing them. If people won't do an event just because it's not the most efficient way of obtaining gear then that event is not fun. QED

Hunt rewards aren't locked behind RNG. That's the biggest appeal. Hell, it's more appealing than the Atma farming.

I know at least 20 people off the top of my friends list that do hunts almost nonstop even though they groan and hate it. It is, by far, the most efficient way to get everything in game.

I want balance. Take stuff away from the hunts, add stuff to other content; I don't care which one they do, I just wish they would allow those of us who enjoy other content to not be penalized for it.

One thing they could do is raise the drop rate on mirrors and mounts. I, for one, have absolutely no reason to ever do a primal again outside of a mount, and i'm not rolling a thousand sided die to get it.

I love the Levi EX fight, but the mirror drop rate is so ridiculous there's no point in farming him anymore. I have all 5 Levi weapons for my jobs and have now beaten him probably 70 times. Seen one mirror. I'm gonna be able to get an upgraded Soldiery weapon far faster than hoping I'll ever see a mirror again.

Absence of a reward is not a penalty. As a raider you are in absolutely no worse a position than you were pre 2.3.


Also, if your friends will pay however much a month to do something they literally *hate* they should probably 're-examine why they are playing this game. It's not healthy and it's not something SE is forcing them to do, it's their own competitiveness

Again, your reason for doing the fight should be because you enjoy it...

i hate what hunts have done to the game i love and have played nearly every day since beta.
not only has it killed the PF, but as a ps3 player it is extremely difficult to even participate.

the only changes i would like to see are spawn rates. keep all the rewards as-is.

S-rank- RNG spawn timer (not 24-48 hrs). have them spawn once per week, resetting with weekly content.
A rank- RNG spawn timer again but have them spawn once per day resetting with daily content.
B rank- keep as is.

I'll see your 2.0 beta and raise you a 1.0 first wave alpha.

And I love that, for the first time since 1.x closed there's an event where I'm not paired with randoms from another server I'll never see again, forced to join PFs under threatof being kicked if I get hit by an AOE or doing an event once per week only in a clique with 7 other people seperated from the rest of my FC because they aren't in the same static and I can't help them out.
