Because of Hunts~~

[Jasiwel]

I also want to throw in that prior to Hunts, going into ThornmarchEx, LeviEx, TitanEx and T5 was incredibly awkward for me. I wasn't even geared poorly (i92 DRG), but I didn't know the fights due to not being able to run them often given how long the Queues were anyways. Then going into one I'd die or miss an important mechanic and everyone would Vote Abandon in two wipes. Going into PF was worse because I had to still learn how to do the mechanics (you can only read/watch guides so much) and then the elitists would bitch up a storm.

I think saying Hunts ruining the game is overdramatic. Prior to them I couldn't even learn the fights because the queue times were no different and the elitists would prevent me from PF. I have an FC, but we usually didn't have enough people online at once to run the EXs back then.

What I'm really trying to say is that the situation is still hardly any better than before. The problems are different, but I've seen as many "I'm quitting" threads/notices from Hunts as I saw from issues before this patch.

I guess the question I have to ask is how did adding Hunts fix this issue for you? I mean yea you can get i110 gear now but can you actually complete that content you mentioned now?

Honestly, yes. It gives me more confidence in my ability to tackle EX battles and T5. It makes me not have to worry that my team will fail a DPS check because of me or that I'll be instakill'd by a non-instakill ability. It relaxes me more knowing I'm well-geared going into these fights and it showed completely when I finally cleared ThornmarchEx a few nights ago.

I never liked Atma farming and that was killing the game for me in a lot of ways. One day I went into ST and got a UAT. I then decided I'd postpone buying any Weathered gear for the sake of getting The Liberator. I bought up Tokens for weeks and fought Hunts whenever I could to get seals. Eventually I had enough to get 2 BMLogs and I was lucky enough for one to drop for me fighting an SRank. Ever since I have not felt like a burden on my team because I've been stuck with Zenith and that helps me focus more on Mechanics.
