Because of Hunts~~

[Gucci_Charms]

Initially I thought hunts were cool and all to help obtain oils and sands for your weathered gear...

However, I can honestly say that hunts have pretty much killed any form of challenge this game offers. I haven't seen PF so open for parties looking for people to do SCOB or Ramuh Extreme where people simply do not want to join because they just want to hunt all day long 24/7. There really is no incentive to even do raids now lol.

The saddest part is that many of these players are still bad despite having all their weathered gear at i110 -_- For example, I finished running a Hullbreaker Isle dungeon earlier where the tank with most unweathered i110 gear couldn't even maintain aggro across the mobs LOL.

SE should really just remove the SCOB lockouts at this point.

Sounds like your server is dead, bro.

A lot of SCOB PF here on ragna. Not too many for Ramuh, but we do get PF for it (just farmed it again today), but it has to be expected for dated content.

My server's not dead.

There are a lot of SCOB or Ramuh EX parties in PF, but no one really wants to join them since they're all too busy doing hunts lol.

Or are locked out of it.

I like doing hunts but I also like doing coil. But can't do any T6 or T7 this week until next reset, no matter how much I want.

How is Ramuh dated when it just came out?

How many times a week do you prefer to raid? Instead of demanding SE to remove lockouts, which isn't going to happen, why not go the other way and ask for more raid content? I personally would like to see 4 different types in 3.0, two full party (one hardcore and one casual) and two alliance (one hardcore and one casual).

I think the real problem that most people have is that you can FARM hunts far more efficiently and get all the oils and sands you want in such short time, and NO LOCKOUT whatsoever. Sure - soldiery is putting everyone at cap, but this is far more easier way to farm than doing raid with its weekly lockout. What SE should have done is adding more oils and sands into ALL level 50 farm dungeons, and remove that particular lock out from raid. You can loot gears once a week but the restriction does not apply to oils and sands drops, this way everyone can farm them via normal level 50 "farm dungeons" with lower drop rates, and raid dungeons with higher drop rates. Or just continue farming Hunts - which as it is now, gives you the best options.

Same problem as CT, it drops level 100 non-upgradable gears and most ppl are already full iLevel 100. It just lack of the appeal for most player. There was a thread about it just recently explaining why people didn't feel like doing it.

Sure, that works too, but it's not going to happen either. Removing lockouts it's far simple and more effective solution.

And they have not figured this out yet, ST has lock out and all items are ilvl 100 LOWER then the spamable ilvl 110 gear you get from hunts, i mean for someone who does not sleep they can easily get all slots in a 110 in a week of none stop hunting, for but for full ilvl 100 ST that will take you about 4-5 weeks, assuming you win the items. it just.... doesn't add up.

Why not? The reasoning behind lockout was to prevent the playerbase from gearing up with i110 quickly. Now that the hunts are out that is a moot point. The reward from hunts do not have a lockout.
