Because of Hunts~~

Holy sht. Another Thread that I go off for 1 day and it becomes a Hot Topic >_>
Least all the Discussion is worth note taking.

And Atmas ruined the game before that.

And Echo buffs ruined the game before that.

How many times can the game get ruined?

How many times should we put up with it? Are MMO's only for people who liked getting jerked by the chain? There comes a time when you just have to say "No".

At this point the only fix to Hunts that I expect is 2.4 introducing higher iLvl gear while hunt rewards remain the same.

As for DF problems... yeah, I can easily envision problems in getting people to do BCoB and pretty much all the older Primals, but I don't think the fault for that lies entirely with Hunts but mostly with outdated gear. We've had what? Over 4 months of Soldiery gear now? Most people are already on i100 stuff.

Lets hope that 2.4 fixes these excessive rewards on Hunts and that SE finds a good way to encourage people to do the older dungeons again.

You consider atmas and especially echo buffs as SE "jerking us by the chain"?

The reason why the atma problem is really a non-problem is because you can get equivalent weapons "easily" (much less time put in at least) from elsewhere. Relics are supposed to be for people that want something to grind for.

People that complain about the echo buff are just being stupid. Most of them are pissed that content that they no longer do has been made easier for the majority of the playerbase, aka, they're just being selfish. Then there's the smaller faction that is annoyed that they can't experience the original difficulty of the content anymore, but given that when BCoB was released people were doing it with i70 stuff and now getting a mix of i90/i100 stuff is easy to get, they never really had a chance to experience the original difficulty, echo or not.

Housing Prices, The "Fixes" to the Hunt, Crafting materials, It seems that everything that SE does that ISN'T tied hand and foot to the Duty Finder ends up going wrong.

Hunts are the single worst piece of content ever implemented in this game, not even 2.0 FATEs were this bad... And what makes them even worse is that SE is doing absolutely NOTHING in order to fix them.

Housing prices have been fixed for a while now (or are you going to keep grinding that axe till hell freezes over?).

The "fixes" to the hunt are mostly the playerbase's fault for expecting more than what SE had announced. They did exactly what they said they would do. Do I want further fixes? Hell yeah I do, I actually want a complete overhaul of the system, but from SE's point of view they just see hunts as being very popular so they don't want to nerf them.

And yes, I do think that crafting materials are a pain in the ass to obtain now if you want to upgrade your DoH/DoL main hand, but this one you can blame on all the people whining on the forums about how the "economy sucked" and that "everyone can craft everything so nothing sells". If crafting materials are ruined now you have these whiners to thank for it.

FIX THE GAME ALREADY!! Hunts is MURDERING THE FUN out of Final Fantasy XIV. I almost feel like canceling my Subscription.

Already suspended mine until the next content update. I can't get a group for Coil or the Extreme primals since hunts were introduced, and there's little left to do but accumulate sold, which we know will rain down in future updates. Very frustrating.

I thought this game was supposed to become progressively harder as time went on. But if hunts is progression content after Coil 2.... that doesn't make any since to me. People are not gona get better just zerging hunts down to gear. How is hunts supposed to prepare people for the difficult stuff coming in 2.4?

And yes, hunts anoy me to. I started just crafting and gathering again. While I'm out just gathering stuff and I start seeing people run by, I always think to myself "Well I know where there going" and it really annoys me, and I'm like is that all people care about anymore

I loved NM's in ffxi, but I absolutely hate um in ffxiv arr.

Edit: hunts have made me really miss claim wars from ffxi. In ffxi you usually had around 8-10 people standing around waiting for an nm to spawn, but in ffxiv when one is spotted 2 minutes later over 100 people will suddenly show up, and all those people can just freely attack the mob together. No wonder there going down supper fast.

Also in ffxi, nm's spawned on a fixed location on each map, so you new where to wait for it, but ffxiv they can spawns anyware in the entire zone. That's also why I hate NM's (hunts) in this game.

As much as I hate hunts now, they're still well above the utter crap that was the NM system of FFXI.

I think hunt boring. I only do hunt daily (7 seal by day, sometimes an elite B if appear in my side) and after this I stay almost the whole day doing dungeon normal/hard (I never did Coil/Primal Extreme).
