Can we get hunt points for doing fates

[Beetle]

Hunts right now don't really feel like anything special or anything. More like afk for 5-10mins and wait for one of your linkshells to send a message <pos>. There is alot of drama that goes with it and if your slow loading in good luck on getting a hit in.

I think if they gave like 5 hunt points if your max level for doing any low level fates if you make it easier & fun for new players coming into the game. People could just teleport around looking for fates. Standing around in one zone with 100 players doing fates wouldn't be the answer. Need something like how lights worked but having players switch to another zone every 30mins to do fates.

As for the hunts currently in the game, I would keep them in the game but create a quest line that rewarded you hunt points for slaying them. But keep adding in more quest lines and hunt NMs in each patch.

...why should Fates give out hunting seals? They're already giving you a currency, two even - gil and GC-seals...

for a quest: you can get hunting allocations on a daily basis for both ARR and HW hunts; they require you to slay specific mobs in the open world.
Some currency is related to some special content and I dont really see why that should change (specially in this case) - we might aswell just get rid of all curreny except one then!

#1 Seals are basically useless. #2 Everything gives gil in this game, #3 Those are dallies, im talking about HNM B ranks, sure they start off with the easy B ranks we have now. Think of it like a solo/semi group quest where you would go around popping your NM. Finish the quest, go do the next part of the quest.
#4 Fates are dead. Noone is really doing them. More so in the ARR zones. As a new player you don't really do any fates with anyone till your in coerthas or north thanalan.

Basically you wouldn't really be doing hunt NMs for hunt points. They could add something within each quest line.

Then don't AFK and actually Hunt the damn thing.

Yeah sure 100's of players wander around the zone waiting for them to spawn. It explains every time when a NM spawns everyone is shouting invite.
Also got other players using scan programs looking for enemies in the zone. Sure its fair to do my part.

It is not hard to get allied/centurio seals. It requires some participation.
While we're on the subject, hunt targets would also be found faster if you actively hunt rather than just waiting for stuff to be called by others.

1) No, they're not - you can buy tones of materials for them, venture coins for your retainers etc. etc. - on the other hand a lot of people actually seem to consider hunting seals more useless
2) yeah, whats the problem? Not everything has to give hunting seals aswell
3) so you mean like... not actually hunting? Like... the dailies we've got? Also thats a totally different idea from what you were suggesting about Fates giving hunting seals. And: ARR daily-hunts actually required fate-mobs (not sure if they still do)
4) So, whats the problem? As a NEW player you dont even have to do Fates at all... and you normally dont need many people to finish fates in lowlevel zones. Apart from that: do you really believe people wouldnt figure out the best zone to farm fates for seals and stick to that and that only?

Hunts arent designed to be something you're doing solo. They're not supposed to be something that you can just farm and grind as much as you wish. They are supposed to be this content and they're giving out a special currency to reward those who enjoy it, nothing wrong with that... join a hunt linkshell and participate in spawning A and S ranks, if thats what you wish to do

Edit: apparently you dont seem to know this but S ranks require certain things to be down to spawn - bäm, there you go: quest!

This is actually a decent idea, assuming it'll only be applied to the big boss FATEs such as 'It's Not Lupus', 'Go Go Gorgimera', 'The Eyes Have It', 'Verdolfnir Devoteth', and so on. I'd imagine in less populated servers, these are NEVER done at all. Especially the last one mentioned which has a rather absurd trigger requirement.

(Svara and Dark Devices wouldn't count as they're multi-chain FATEs that are basically cleared on sight + there's one other superboss fate in those areas already.)

Hell, such fates could award an entirely new currency as well instead of seals, along with tomestones. Here's a quick mock-up idea.

- Lazy For You/It's Not Lupus/Attack on Highbridge Act III/Clearing The Hive/Poor Maid's Misfortune: 1 currency at max contribution
- The Eyes Have It/Go Go Gorgimera: 2 currency at max, 1 at silver
- We Fought a Dzu/Special Tarasque Force/On Dangerous Ground/Metal Gears Revengeance 2: 3 currency at max, 1 at silver
- Verdolfnir Devoteth: 4 currency at max, 2 at silver
- Behemoth: 6 currency
- Coeurlregina: 2 currency for first two phases, 4 at final
- Odin: 10 currency

New currency shop - obtaining the actual currency has no weekly limit, but some shop categories have a weekly purchase limit.
- Grade IV materia of the player's choice: 1 token
- Grade V materia of the player's choice: 10 tokens, limit of 1 per week in this category
- Chocobo Experience Blend: Triples Chocobo EXP gain for the remaining duration of its current summoning. 2 tokens.
- Unidentified Ore/Seeds/Bone/Shell: 2 tokens
- Aether Oil: 5 tokens
- Umbrite: 6 tokens
- Carboncoat (or the equilavent of it for current tome accessories): 15 tokens, limit of 1 per week
- New minion: 30 tokens
- New mount: 50 tokens

1) Oh useless mats from old ARR patches? Who still needs moonstones... Ventures? Oh those coins I have 200 of and all 2 of my retainers are both 60 and they don't even give anything good for sending them out? Last time I really needed seals was in 2012 when I needed them to rank up in 1.0. Its 2016 SE, wheres the new Grand company ranks.

2) Sounds like you got a problem with opinions or even ideas? Sure this game is perfect is every way.
3) Quests, not dallies. Kill Leaping Lizard, then go kill X then go kill X. Quest done. Heres a minion. Pick up A rank questline.
4) Yeah you dont but wouldn't it be fun to play with players? This is why they are talking about a jump potion. These players wanna play with other players and there is no one around at the start of the game, duh.

Your wrong, they can be grind as much as you wish. Yes I can solo a A rank. Its not hard, just everyone hates you for killing one without them claiming.

The "It's X year" meme stopped being clever. And just because you don't need old materials doesn't mean nobody else does. the 240 relics need many old materials.
