Just delete the hunts for centiruon seals or add other ways to get them

What it basically boils down to is "they didn't wait for ME." I have a computer with horribly slow loading times. I miss out on hunts more often than not because I get stuck in loading limbo. And you know what? It's not a big deal. The hunt will spawn again. There will be other hunts in the meantime.

I'm not entitled enough to expect everyone who is already there to sit around and wait for me. If they have enough people to take down the mark, they have every right to pull it. So it may take me a little longer to gear up... so what? There is currently no content that requires the gear obtained from hunt seals, so what's the rush? The hunts and the seals are not going to go away. If anything, it'll become easier to get full credit once people get all their gear and stop zerging the hunts.

Which would completely kill Hunts. Hunts are not fun or interesting, they are efficient for their rewards. You take away that reward, you take away any incentive to do them, and they die.

I think that is part of peoples point is the reward for hunts. They have been propping up a bad idea by repeatedly putting upgrade items in the hunt. They remind me of the cereal C-3PO's they had cool items you wanted but they tasted so gross.

I actually like the daily hunts and will do them till I have all 60s. They equal amount of xp a fate or quest gives. My pld is almost 52 and i have only done the daily marks on it. It is like a refilling class hunting log. You can kill everything carefully at 50/i130 with a chocobo.

I have little faith that SE has learned anything about hunts or the community. They reused one of the worst ideas from 2.0era. I expect to see it again 3.something.

From what I've seen the truly obnoxious entitled players screaming in shout after "missing" a hunt are the minority. To be honest, that kind of foul behaivour and attitude in open world chat should be reported as it is giving a very bad impression to any new players.

Don't stand for the potty mouths, report them. Hopefully a suspension will curb their anti-social and unwanted behaviour.

That's the point.
Why would you want to keep something you label as "not fun or interesting"?

Because it's efficient. Not everything in life is fun. Honestly I don't think most of the content is fun, but I do it as a means to an end so I can do the content that I do feel is fun.

That being said, fun is subjective, so what I find boring you may find great fun.

Many valid viewpoints here, none of which I intend to dispute.

Speaking as someone who just never liked the hunts, and with reference to the gearing options we had in the past, I would like an alternative to the hunts for gear upgrades.

Perhaps utilize the temple leve system? That way it's more individualized and becomes the personal responsibility that gearing should be anyways.

[Marveth]

I really don't see why people talk about this like it's a system that will stay forever.

It's gone in four days people. Stop crying.

It will resolve itself far quicker than it would patching it.

the point it's this feature need to be changed, the fact that it's a free reward behind zerg fest that can, by design, lead to drama... mostly because you don't have enough target for the number of player. even if the reward was low tiers, it don't change the fact that this feature is horrible, people asking for world boss and such are the one that mustn't be listened, i'm rude and blunt, but this feature have bring no fun, no challenge only trouble! for what? nostalgia!

with this much people a world boss feature is dumb!

[Viridiana]

The only people who have problems making it to hunts on time are the people who aren't hunting. . .

Ehh. . .I wouldn't say that's entirely true on some servers. For example, if something popped right now in Churning Mists Instance 2 on Balmung, good luck getting to it, no matter how quickly you respond. Unless you're lucky, it's probably gonna take you longer than the 3 minutes most people agree is fair game just to zone into the right instance, because for some reason SE decided you shouldn't be able to choose which instance you get in for Churning Mists. And since it doesn't put all your party members in the same instance, this is even true if you're already in a party and actively hunting in a different zone or a different instance of the same zone. And of course, that also potentially screws hunting parties who wind up with half their members in the wrong instance with no way to correct it in a timely manner.

For god's sake I am going to stop responding to you after this if you insist on saying I want easier.

I want something less toxic. Has absolutely NOTHING to do with ease, at present it is mind numbingly easy- there is nothing hard or skillful about hunts. Nothing. You join 4-5 linkshells and run fast and then hammer your spammable damage ability until its dead and collect a reward and is not a showcase of skill.


It is easy, super easy in fact.

Then you're not making sense.

You claim to not want another way to make the seals, because you've already been told we can get the seals by regular daily hunts and you admitted that is fine. So what do you want? You want "toxicity" to stop. How? You want them to take seals away from elite hunts? You want them to shift them to another activity? What activity?
