SE wildly irresponsible with hunt reward implementation yet again

[Cfai]

I think SE knows exactly what they are doing, which to me, is prolonging the time people continue playing until the expansion .

Well said. Not to mention that SE will always do something about the contents that are abandoned or have issues with, a few big examples:
1. Hunts are abandoned = use the coate/twine to make it hyped up again
2. Fates and Levemetes are abandoned to Level 50 players = 9 atma books.
3. New players are abandoned and have long queues in HM mode = Relic Light Farm.
4. CT and ST are abandoned = weekly reward for carboncoate.
5. First coil was abandoned = allagan material drops.

You can quote me back on this when next patch comes before 3.0 I bet 99% of the chances the next relic upgrade to i130 (shiny version of i125 obviously) will be low-level dungeon drop just to mitigate the long dps line up, probably with some second coil material drops.
