    Sorry, as a non-WoW player, Hunts have been toxic since they were released. Has nothing to do with crossworld. First it was "early pullers", now it's "sniping" around hunt trains. Apparently a group of friends aren't allowed to come across a hunt randomly and kill it these days, as they "belong to the community".

    As for markets, it was needed. Some items were selling for ridiculous amounts on some servers.

    Then they need to make a Datacenter Marketboard to equalize the datacenter prices. No one should have to visit other servers or use a 3rd party website to see what an item is selling for in order to list it on there home servers. I agree some items where way over priced.

    Yeah, I'd like to see the system evolve to this step next as well.

    Perhaps implement a Server Tax as well that players can avoid paying by actually going to the server and buying the item from the MB there, similar to how the existing City-State taxes work.

    If the hope with world visit was to allow the markets to even out a bit a server tax might be contrary to that at the moment. I'd actually be curious to see how many people are consistently hopping worlds to buy. I've only done it myself for one or two non craft-able items and the prices there were marginal at best. For standard mats and gear the prices on my home server are fair for the work involved on most items I'm looking for.

    I can't hunt, luckily the party I grouped up with must have very fast internet(JP players) so I managed to get the full credit eventhough I only able to land 1-2 hit/s. Hunt mark just dissapeared amoungst the hundreds of players, I had all battle effect turned off too.

    Common sense is not so common anymore.

    I learned this the hard way. Back when I was still a new player, I didn't even know what hunts were and I came across and A rank which I was able to solo. Did I suddenly got a big chewing out from a lot of different players. Some went as far to say I should uninstall and stop playing, another even said that I was a blight.




    Now many years later I'm part of several hunt LS's. In all this time I've never pulled and always wait with the pack for people to arrive. There's been several cases were people early pulled or even killed it before the majority arrived.

    There's always a big backlash in /shout and many people angry and annoyed.
    Sure it's a bit annoying but I'm just like 'oh well, up to the next one'.


    But we definitely have the best community in this game!

    Letter from the Producer LIVE Part IX Q&A Summary (10/30/2013)
    Q: Will there be any maintenance fees or other costs for housing, besides the cost of the land and house?
    A: In older MMOs, such as Ultima Online, there was a house maintenance fee you had to pay weekly, but in FFXIV: ARR we decided against this system. Similarly, these older MMOs also had a system where your house would break down if you didn’t log in after a while in order to have you continue your subscription, but this is a thing of the past and we won't have any system like that.

    Well, I don't know about that, but regardless, just remember that best doesn't mean perfect. A community can still have its bad side (and different people can define the bad side differently) even if it's the best compared to other communities, if that's even the case.
