So buffing the reward, and nerfing the marks is the answer to fixing the Hunts?

Good job SE..

...continue to negate any reason for doing group content....

I wonder if I'll have to pay a sub for Final Fantasy 15 for that single-player experience.

What a dumb comment about 15, we all know it's never coming out.

In b4 "hunts are group content".

Given that the spawn timer between A, and S ranks are pretty lengthy..if you're spending time waiting around for all of them, you've got another problem.

I thought that the devs mentioned in the most recent live letter that they were for sure adjusting the daily bills but were hesitant on adjusting A and S rank hunts? How is it any surprise that they did exactly what they said they were going to do?

I feel like SE has freed people from hunt for 8 hours a day. Teleporting half across the world just to a B rank that gets zerged down in 5 seconds.

Now you can fill your time with other things in between hunting for A's, AND the casual people (like myself) can actually earn a moderate amount weekly without competing for said A's nearly as much.

Seems like a win/win to me.

It's a bit of a stretch to call B ranks "group content", even talking pre-patch. The only thing the patch did was bring B's closer to what they were intended to be from the beginning.

me too, and i'm someone who hunts A's all the time.

i'd rather not look for B's, i wouldn't even go to them but the rest of my party already went, feels bad not to help them get full credit so i end up going most of the time. now i won't have to.

Fact is they've nerfed ALL of the hunt event by making the change to B. B's used to be at least half of the seals you'd get in a hunt session (not to mention myth for those working Alex for their relic). Of course, dropping to half will be fine with all of those who hated hunts to begin with and never realized that they were the ultimate in casual friendly content.

With the change to B, they should have dropped the respawn timers somewhat for A and S (maybe not half but a good amount) to rebalance.

Daily mark changes are also painful. Do you REALLY like waiting 2 hours for a FATE to spawn to get your seals? That change would have been tolerable if they reduced the respawn timer for those FATES.

patch notes mentioned them fixing an issue where fates took forever to spawn. maybe they fixed it?
