Please, give us hunts back :(

[Rumpelstiltzkin]

Since hunts are just mindless zergs it should not be possible to get as good equipment as it used to. I hope they never go back to that ever again. If they want hunts to be useful, make them claimable otherwise good riddance. Also, no I don't think grinding dungeons are much better, I think they should work on getting many things less of a boring grind.

Not me. Once I capped Mythology, I bought materials and sold them to make more Gil, then start all over. That's what I was doing with Hunts once I was done with Soldiery.

I think what everyone that wants Hunts to be the way it was before needs to realize is that it's not that it promoted socializing amongst the community, nor was it anything to do with it being "fun" to do. The absolute most important thing about it was that it was the fastest and easiest way to gear up in the entire game. It has zero to do with the "fun" it was or the socializing to be had... which, in all honesty, was rarely ever something that the majority of Hunt LS members even actively participated in.

The question is why is 20 soldiery for an A rank all of sudden not worth the same as the same 20 soldiery before 2.4? What in the calculations has changed for people? It is not like people cared about the myth gear, many people just let sit capped at 2000.

Simple. Soldiery is no longer capped. Being capped to 450 a week made this rate perfectly acceptable. Now that it no longer is, we keep seeing these threads. The disparity between collecting Myth then (at the time, lesser tome) and collecting Soldiery now (now currently, lesser tome) is quite ridiculous.

How does this do anything to change the usefulness of hunts?

Really only applies to armor, since the cost of everything else bought with soldiery is, or is near, 50% cheaper.

I miss the hunts because they were good for server community. On Excalibur we have a very friendly open to all way about hunts and it was fun teaming up with people on the same server.
Duty finder is too much like playing with NPCs with AI, going into a timed instance where people rarely bother to even say "Hi" is not fun to me (why bother talking if we'll never see them again right?)

I just hope SE doesn't totally give up on Open World content.

I'd be happier if they made the weekly B marks into Dailies

Hunts do not need to go back to the way they were.

The only change I want to see made, is some place (Hunts, ST, dungeons, I don't care) needs to up the soldiery. We're getting half as much soldiery as we were getting myth and it's fairly frustrating.

Soldiery increasement is coming with 2.5

And when is 2.5? Three months away?

Well soldiery is not the issue. More will not change that. The issue is that it is missing poetics. I like hunts like it was, but I like dungeons more. But it looks like poetics are low across the board compared to how soldiery was even before the hunts. I think this is intentional on the part of SE.

Right now when you hunt you get allied seals and soldiery, so if your getting soldiery gear, this is actually 2x soldiery in a sense. For sands and oils, ST is faster and better place now by far. And CT at 100 soldiery is probably fastest for soldiery if efficiency is all you care about.
