Hunts and Trains; please fix the Hunts!

[Soupa]

The thing is, almost no one does hunts without a train anymore because everyone got used to the easy flow. And the majority of people will use the way with least resistence.

A ranks can be usually done with a party of 8 and you can call to your linkshells/FC/area. Yeah it’ll take longer then usual but mission accomplished either way.

And they spawn every hour. If you can play XIV for even 2 hours a day, you're guaranteed to get some in.

Which is the problem for a lot of people - they don't want to spend 8-10 minutes for 10 Allegory, 20 Phantasmagoria, 30 Poetics and 40 Sacks of Nuts when they can spend 20 minutes and get 120 Allegory, 240 Phantasmagoria, 360 Poetics and 480 Sacks of Nuts.

No, they don't. HW/SB/ShB Rank As have a 4-6 hour respawn timer. If you're only playing two hours a day, you can miss out even with world visit depending on when the trains were run.

Oh wah then. Why do you have to rain doom and gloom so hard over something optional and insignificant? Go to a different world, you know you can do that right? If, unrealistically speaking, every single A rank on your world from ARR to SB and every instance of ShB is dead... go elsewhere.

To you it's optional and insignificant. Not everyone feels that way. If you ever conducted and had to listen to the complaints, you'd know.

Most players don't care about the ARR/HW/SB Rank As because they can't get Allegory or Sacks of Nuts from them. It's the ShB Rank As they care about. I can't speak about what happens on other data centers but I know what's happening on Crystal. There are absolutely periods when every single ShB Rank A is on cooldown. Because the conductors from all the Crystal worlds are working together to try and avoid unnecessary overlaps, it happens less frequently than it did earlier in the expansion but it still happens.

Someone logging on at the wrong time can miss out regardless of world visit. I'm not trying to present it as a good or bad thing. I'm just stating that it does happen.

Sounds like SE should implement some anti-hunt train measures tbh.

I'd rather they didn't. It's one of the few elements of the game that has consistently been a very social and chatty experience. It'd be a real shame to see that vanish.
