Hunt changes - for the better of us all

[Evangela]

On my server Bs weren't ignored, now that As are the only option for a continued hunt they will be killed early all the time. There will be too many people going to each A because they will be more rare and people will pull sooner since waiting for everyone will result in getting less then full credit.
More people on less monsters = early pulls/rage or not getting full credit. That doesn't seem like a good idea to me

yeah, these changes were made to please the people who don't hunt or can't hunt, instead of helping people who enjoyed the content.

Most people I know that participated in the zerg fests didn't enjoy it. They did it because the reward to effort ratio was horribly imbalanced. ie it was leaps and bounds easier than anything else.

I agree with this, as i actually hate hunts, but i do them because the rewards are just far to great to ignore.

I don't. I've done every daily and weekly and the occasional B I ran across. I feel the rewards are completely imbalanced for the effort involved, so I'm only doing it for the minions and not much else. I'll work for my gear, not zerg for it.

most of the people enjoying the hunt (i don't talk of the one doing it because it was the best way to get almost everything) do like it mostly because it's instant gratification. no risk involved since done in zerg and maximum reward for the small fight.

people talking of the community or competition only do this for what? the reward... stop trying to make yourself look like a saint. they are like everybody that want them shinies...
what amazed me, it's the fact that a loooooot of the people that love hunt, are actually part of the people that hate the most the FATE, when all they do it's FATE under the form of the hunt.

other point, competition into a game like path of exil with it ladder it's good, but competition into FF14 are...sorry to say this non existant. competition means everybody have the same chance, start with the same setup... here is not the case, depending of the your connection time, the number of people into your ls hunt and such you will be the best. when actually it's your ls hunt that is the best not you! is not a competition it's simply a bragging rights feature!

by the way, this change don't solve anything, they don't listen to the people, they simply want to stick to them plan, raid > all... when it was possible to do stuff very nice with the hunting. but no, open world lover was there crying, we need open world stuff in a world over population and too small for the population per server. they have wanted nm back, when this feature was always the source of drama and cheat.

no use of the leves, faction leves or fate already present for make it more deep. nah, let's stick to the plan to make it an activity with instant gratification (by allowing zerg)
