An idea to improve hunts and make them more rewarding and worthwhile

[Nixxe]

I wouldn't consider the current set up much of a community. It's more-so a small group of people that do all the heavy lifting, and a BUNCH of others who race to see who can get there and claim it the quickest. And mountains and mountains of salt. Is it really okay the way it is when there's thread after thread about how it's not? I don't care either way -- I was just trying to think of an alternative. This way, you'd be getting more people involved, including crafters, gatherers, different roles. More work than the current setup, yes, but there would be better rewards too.

I'm sure I'm not alone in wanting to be able to invest in/contribute to something worthwhile in game over time that doesn't necessarily involve dropping what I'm doing, rushing to teleport and the thing dying before the zone loads. The current hunt setup, if they leave it as is, is just going to continue to fester. If they scaled the HP of the monsters accordingly, that would be a good start, but it seems like putting a bandage on a gaping wound. Why does everything have to be a mindless slaughterfest? Why can't people contribute in other ways?

The community mostly refers to that "small group of people that do all the heavy lifting," not the people who quietly sit in LS and only show up to collect the reward or who rush over when they read a shout and complain that nobody waited for them to finish what they were doing before pulling.

People just need to stop trying to "fix" hunts. They aren't broken. If you don't like them, feel free not to participate.

Hunts is a mess but that solution is too complicated.

Make S Rank spawns more common (reduce the reward for each kill), between all the zones there should be one window open every 2 hours or so.

Make A Ranks the Weekly Bill and B Ranks a Daily Bill.

This will get people out there but not actually zerging. You can tie guaranteed Cracked Clusters to the A Rank Bill and/or have a % from the B Rank Bills.

It would not achieve that. People zerg A ranks. Why wouldn't they zerg S ranks just because you make them more common and reduce their reward? If you struggle to get to hunts on time, then scout or spawn them yourself.
