I can't be the only one who enjoys the current Hunt system....

[Saviorlito]

In our FC, we get together on mumble and all go out looking for hunts. When they spawn, we call it out and everyone gathers and kills the mobs. We generally have a good time. Sometimes there are dry spells, and others we hit 5-6 As in a row. People pull early a lot, it's no big deal, we just move on to the next search...We even have friendly rivalries with other FCs (GAF KILLED IT!!).

I think people are maybe taking this too seriously. If you aren't able to do hunts or don't have a network of friends to play with, maybe you should try another route? You could always put up a PF for SCOB, and try your luck there for sands/oils. Or grab some CT gear in the meantime.

The only thing they need to do IMO, is treat the mobs like the do FATEs. The more people killing the mob, the stronger the next pop gets. That is all.

There has been a gradual turn to keeping it inside the party/FC which' positive.

However, the advent of Radar app's really ruins it.

You'll see soon enough how terribly unfair/nigh-impossible it is.

I was lucky to get a kill in on Naul. We waited for people to gather for 5 minutes after it got called out, then somebody pulled with a Blunt Arrow. I was normal attacking, along with a lot of other people. From what I heard, a total of 24 players got credit for it. I wish more attempts at hunting it were like that, it actually ended well for a lot of people.

It's not that bad on lower servers till prime time. Was looking at achievements and saw I had 186 B, 140 A, 9 S. It really helped finish my Novus which was sitting @40/75 at start of 2.3 and get alot of Sands of time

People treat it seriously because the rewards are extreme.

There's an existing disconnect

Content difficulty that is EXTREMELY casual + uncapped rewards that are currently locked behind locked-out end game content that most people have not even seen let alone beaten in some cases = recipe for disaster.

You're joking to yourself if you think people are just going to try another route when there's literally no reason to do anything else right now provided you're able to actually get the rewards (Myth, Soldiery, AND Sands and Oils available), though now that it's gotten to the point where people are using 3rd party apps to detect them that alone should speak to how broken the current system is. The only way to solve it is to gut the rewards to match the difficulty of the content.

They'll just make a weekly cap to fix that. Now watch it be 500, like with Soldiery.

Even if you cap rewards you will still have people zerging A ranks and S ranks. They can still drop Bloody Mark Logs which is the main goal for the majority of people anyway, unless SE can find a way to put random drops on a lock-out too then that won't solve anything.

The problem I have with them is during this part. Yeah, you kill them. You just slap them in the face once and they collapse, that's all. I've killed a bunch of them and never did it felt like I was killing a "notorious monster". It feels like going out for shopping checking an item in the checklist. You basically get rewarded for participation and nothing else.

[Gallus]

Yes, you are probably the only one xD. The only reason people are doing this is not because it's enjoyable but because it's easy, fast and nets you rewards that are on par with the hardest content of the game.

Easy, you can do 10 hunts a day. Done.
