    Curious question, but why are some people so adamantly opposed to ARR S ranks being made beefier? This has little to do with me missing the hunts (Since I'm present for about 95% of the ones that pop while I'm online due to either spawning them myself or monitoring them heavily to prevent the trolls from picking them off without me getting a kill time) and more to do with not having time to get friends together to take them down. I enjoy hunting as a social activity (Which it started off as for ARR due to hunts being too tough to take on without a large group) and just wish it could be that way for the ARR stuff again, but certain individuals are actively trying to keep that from happening.

    It also can't be argued that the reward they give is a bit disproportionate for how little effort it takes to kill them now. They're actually more valuable then the stronger HW S ranks thanks to Allied seals having increased worth and also dropping Centurios.

    I'm not opposed to it at all. They die laughably fast as things currently stand. S ranks should scale with the players each expansion imo.

    Because they're fine the way they are. Its easier than ever to earn large amounts of allied seals, even if you don't catch an S.

    And because this sounds like another topic where we say its for the lv 50s that are out hunting but is about friends/ls members that are chasing relays and missing out.

    Random roleplayers/BLU/sprouts in the open world can still find and pick off S ranks if they come across them first. Relays are a convenience, they are not mandatory. Waiting for others is a courtesy, it is not mandatory. If you spawn a hunt and want friends to make it, call the hunt in party chat and wait for your party to arrive before relaying it. If you want quick allied seals you're better off hopping servers for A's. If you want kills to count towards your tiger, any S will do. I don't want clunk added to a simple, rewarding side activity I've been enjoying for years.

    This is one of the major issues i have with this community: The instant gratification at the expense of other players is disgustingly prevalent. It shouldn't matter if its "quick seals." As many as possible should get a shot to participate. Its not a requirement to wait 60 seconds, but are you really going to give other players the shaft, just because you want fast rewards? It shouldn't kill you to treat other players fairly. No, not everyone will get a chance at the hunt, but trolling is a problem. SE needs to overhaul the hunt system. Its an example of content that aged poorly

    This is also why MSQ has unskippable cutscenes now. A "quick playthrough," even if new players get left behind.

    Open world mobs are free-for-all. It's simply courteous to relay and wait. It is not required. This is player expectation and peer pressure being applied for a desired response.

    Mobs =/= story/cornerstone of game's advertisement.
