Basically, all SE did was make B ranks unattractive for hunt groups and isolate them for soloists.

So people who just want to solo their mark bills got a buff. Before they could barely get any seals, now they can get roughly 250 per week.

For everyone else, though, this is a nerf. Seems to be a palatable nerf for many people, but it's still a nerf... no way around that.

This really doesn't do anything to fix what I perceive to be the biggest problem with the hunt system, which is that A and S ranks are overburdened, resulting in anxiety, tension, frustration and nastiness when a handful of players start pulling early.
