Can we discuss how abusive the GM department is when it comes to 'Grief Tactics'? A

I feel like they're really going to have to implement level sync for the ARR/HW S ranks because with the current rate of stat scaling, ARR S ranks are going to be soloable in a less then a minute by the time the end of 5.x rolls around.

They've previously stated have no intent to revamp older hunts under the notion that they're "outdated content", except that's kind of untrue when they keep giving older hunts Centurio seals/whatever the latest unlimited tomestone types are, which means they're always going to be relevant to some degree.

Also, I really think they need to be less transparent about whether or not a S rank can actually spawn, because it's awful when hunts like Pale Rider/Agrippa get killed without any notice as their spawns are uncommon enough that it's almost impossible to know if you're just getting bad RNG or not.

I'd be fine with a lvl sync option tbh so long as hunts aren't turned into Fates. God I hate Fates and have since 2.1. Did I say I hated Fates?

You realize all a fate is is a hunt, nm, or group of mobs with a level sync option right?

You take away the little map icon and the sound, and nothing changes, its still a fate.

I don't get the community hate towards fates.

Ignorance is bliss. That's what I tell myself on the subject. As to why people hate them, it's because SE won't let them go. New event? Fates. New zones? Fates. New content? Let's slap some Fates on those too. SE, stop. They aren't fun and they are not interesting.

Yes they are fun, and are interesting.
They are on the spot battles that usually involve little sketches before they spawn, unique lore, give decent exp, scale to number of people that participate, often times have unique drops, have awesome music, and can be synced at appropriate level (what the Hunt lacks imo). Plus they can be set as a chain to have a little event.

The multi chain FATE at Azim Steppe is probably the #1 best content in the game imo.
Same with the Fox FATE that is multipart with awesome story, and it ties with the 4 Lords Story.

Me too. I love FATEs, they are an amazing feature imo.
