SE wildly irresponsible with hunt reward implementation yet again

[Krr]

This led to a lot of casual players stopped playing or even unsubscribing. To balance this out, SE had to do something about "farming rewards", which I already predicted correctly they will put this back in Hunt.

Except S-E could also put Carbontwine or other rewards equivalent to left-side i130 into:

-World of Darkness
-The "Primal Focus" weekly-style CT gauntlet quest
-any recent Primal encounter, which while difficult, are not as difficult as FCOB

By not spreading out the types of content players are 'motivated' to do, and funneling everything into hunts, you get irresponsible overpopulation. And no, Guildworks does not 'fix' the problem that leaves console players and people without supercomputers that can render the hunt mobs.

I used to hunt on Excalibur TS in 2.3. It's a fun community activity, especially to research and spawn S-ranks, but as battle content design, the state of hunts back then was absolute garbage that should never have been re-introduced.

i still have no idea why they don't also let you buy Carbontwine and coats with Wolf Marks.

Maybe because those are not for PvP gear upgrades, where Wolf Marks is for/from PvP.

Twine/Coat is not the only reason to do hunts.
Getting Sand/Oil/Alexandrite twice as fast as before is another reason.
The only real problem is that you can actually buy the unstained logs with allied seals right away instead of having that be added in a later patch.
