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

I don't understand why they locked the 170 upgrade to 180 behind hunts... It's literally saying that some ppl deserve to upgrade their gear and others don't. On Exodus server it seems only certain groups are going out as full lvl 60 parties and killing hunts before others can join in. Sometimes you get lucky and get a hunt or a couple in a row. But most times its a single party killing it before most can even zone in.

It's making a lot of uneeded contention and causing ppl to harbor resentment against others for having things that they can't readily share the wealth of. SE needs to make a smarter time gate than this hunt BS.

It might not seem like much, but I'd like to see if the dev team would consider having it where Heavensward FATEs could reward a very small number of Centurios Seals, as opposed to GC seals. Lore wise, it makes little sense for the GCs to be rewarding us when they have no jurisdiction in the Ishgard territories, but we already have Centurio rewarding us for tracking down and clearing out assorted mobs.

To give an example, I just got a Gold on a failed level 50 FATE in Sea of Clouds, and was rewarded 201 GC seals. If that was adjusted to be scaled down to something like 5-10 or so Centurio Seals, I feel that people would actually take incentive to do more of the Heavensward FATEs while waiting for DF.

This would also have people exploring the realm, possibly finding A or S Rank Hunts
& open more exp options for players.

Due to the low cap of 500 seals, and the ease they come in compared to Law Tomes, I think it would not be unfair to ask for such a change.

Yet another brilliant idea that is far better than what the Devs came up with AND it makes sense lore wise. Probably just restrict it to higher level FATES though?

1)Please stop misusing literally. If you're trying to add emphasis to a point then the thing you're looking for is called italics.
2)they aren't supposed to be server wide events. If you show up late, you're supposed to miss it. You're supposed to have good streaks and bad streaks, not just "teleport to x and get free gear"

Any unnecessary tension is being caused by people feeling entitled to something that they aren't, and then getting mad about something that was never theirs being stolen from them.

Tbh, you get seals so quick doing this that everyon will be geared in no time, then hunts will die out.

Honestly you need around 2300 seals to fully upgrade a set. Thats less than you needed to upgrade one piece of Ironworks.

Though there are some trolls on Jenova who are just pulling asap to piss people off, the majority of the people who are complaining are the linkshell leeches, who are perfectly content to let others do the hunting and leech off of their work. Then you get idiots like the one numpty on Jenova who has a term like "<t><pos> get here before someone pulls early!" Never have I seen a macro the trolls would look for a better reason to pull...

*hops in*
Full set is 2495 centurion seals. I'm just sitting here, doing my daily (110/day) & weekly(100/week) hunts, going slow because who says I absolutely need to be 180? Plus since it's normal Alexander coming out in a week, pretty sure it'll be doable with part 180, part 170. Plenty time still till savage~.
I did 1 A rank today, because I accidentally ported to the wrong place but saw a shout. After pull it died in 5-10 seconds. I went "meh, back to daily hunts" and went on my merry way.
Note that for B ranks for the past 2 weeks I have seen an incredibly supportive and helpful community on Phoenix. People communicate in /shout, help someone out if they happen to see the mark even if they themselves don't need it. People patiently wait for others to arrive at the mark, etc. If you feel the community is toxic, really weigh the pros of absolutely super quickly getting 180 gear vs you being uncomfortable being around a toxic environment. Ultimately you do have a choice. And it doesn't have to be completely giving up on hunts or the 180 gear.

In general, there are people who have never been into hunts. Hunt FCs/LSs are their own, separate community (especially on Balmung) and it really does lock out other players who want in on the action. The main LSs kick people out of the LSs if they're offline and they're almost impossible to get back into. There are people who prefer raid/dungeon content over open world. The Hunt community for groups is ridiculous (on Balmung) and almost impossible to get into (on Balmung) unless you know someone who knows someone....it's very limiting.
I'm not here to complain about people who want to do hunts or pull early or are trolls are jerks, but there are people who make it difficult and some servers have closed off groups for hunts. It's very limiting and it would be nice if there was some alternative way to get the upgrades.

I want a competition in information management department and it's what I getting from hunts, so I am pretty satisfied with them. And you are trying to force your opinion as a universal truth.

Then go play EVE. I am serious and not being snarky at all; if you want to play a game of competitive information warfare go play EVE. Your playstyle is more robustly supported there than it is here, especially since the community does not even want you or your playstyle here.

Actually rewards was increased this time and it is actually good.
Reducing reward will *increase* zerg as primaly dynamics is that people farm set and leave forever or ar least until they got next job to 60. And the faster they do it, the faster they free their spot in zerg.
People either give up early and not participate in Hunts at all or they go to the very end regardless of actual size of rewards, not many people drop hunts middleway. In this situation increasing time to obtain full set will increase size of zerg as people will stay in it longer.

And this time there is even no glamour rewards and cap is very low so there is no real point to stay in hunting after you get your ilvl179

There is barding and minions though.

And they had to tie it to gear upgrades. How else are they going to get people to do it if the items are 100% fluff?

Early pulling been a problem since 2.0

Which is why it should have stayed in 2.0 and not made into a main way of progession.

Yes, it should have stayed in 2.0! Even though it wasn't added until nearly a year later! >_>
