Radar for hunts, is this fair? Take a look.

The problems is that we have weekend now and SE employees cant react before monday.

Long thread so sorry if this was already mentioned, but...

Maybe SE can 'disguise' the names of NMs, or hell, any mobs. Would prevent radar from doing much. I'm just remembering 'placeholder' mobs from FFXI; they were special, but showed up the same as everything else on widescan. Or using these placeholders for the Hunt NMS... I'm imagining walking up to a Naul with no visible name or level until he's attacked, then the 'real' Naul replaces it...

This is SE's fault for not having their people work the weekend after a major patch.

Even if they have ppl working over the weekend. Things wouldn't change.

Remember 1 week to collect data, 1 week of discussion, 1 week of coming out with a patch. At least 3 week is minimum before anything gonna change. By that time everything will be too fubar to be make a difference. Hell, by that time nobody will even care anymore.

Yeah, SE is too slow when it comes to this crap, many times something would come up right after a patch in Warcraft, they would implement a hotfix within a day or two sometimes to just hold things over until they got a real fix. I say they go in and shut off the allied seal vendor and remove the books as drops until they get it straightened out. That way folks will cap their seals, won't be able to farm books, so they will stop, the people that haven't been cheating will still be able to do hunts for seals, and SE will have time to get a solution worked out.

They dont have a way to track the app though. The person who is making it, however, has said that if SE complains about a feature of the app, it will be changed/removed so the app is still usable. So SE just needs to tell the dev that they dont like the radar part (which since its been in the app for months, I doubt will happen.)

The best band aid SE can do now is a Emergency patch that disable the HUNT part, till they work on a plan.

Then againthey will most likely be bombed by EVERYONE for doing so. Those that are happy farming myth and stuff, and those they want to farm so they don;t get 'left behind"

Is there a similar thread about using third party apps in the Japanese forums? Aside from the question asked in the live letter earlier, it's still possible (though unlikely) that the issue hasn't gotten any attention due to it not being in Japanese.

Not that those forums SHOULD be placed above other forums, but I'm just saying, they take care of priorities in Japan first I'm betting. Maybe it'd be best to place a complaint about Hunt apps in ALL language forums.
