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

I don't understand what the problem is with uncapped rewards at this point. We are halfway through SCOB. I think the fact that they are uncapped is making it very fair to people who havn't been able to compete in SCOB up until now. It's much like Myth vs Coil gear. Although myth was capped, it was also implemented in the game the same way soldiery was, and was a farmable currency at the start of BCOB, much like Soldiery. The only difference, is that soldiery iLVL does not match the comparison to myth/BCOB gear, since they were both i90. You were essentially able to become i90 without ever stepping foot in BCOB, albiet not BiS. Soldiery items are i100 upgradeable to i110. So them adding more ways to get Sands/Oils should not be a problem at this point.

The 3rd party app usage, yeah, it sucks.

Just did my first one, had to check out all the hubbub. It was a bit funny as there was a huge group of people just waiting and more kept coming. There was a ton of people and then the creature just up and disappeared. Everyone was like where did it go? The fight hadn't started yet, I thought maybe if you wait too long it just disappears. But then it just reappeared right in the middle of everyone so then the fight was on. There were so many people doing it, the game actually seemed to lock up for a second, I think I got in one hit. Then it was dead in all about 1.5 seconds it seemed. So now I see what its all about.

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

Now B ranks become utterly ignored unless as a last resort and are probably barely done unless in desperation to hit cap.

You also totally leave the door open for griefers to just kill A ranks to deny other people the rewards if they want to be that way, provided you don't somehow make them akin to "Part of another player's duty" classification to prevent people from attacking them once they've hit their cap. You'd still see Hunt LSes spreading information and promote zerging though with a cap on hunts per day though. The only difference is that it would progressively die off -during that day- rather than over time overall.

What's the point of CT2 then? CT2 offers Oils and i100 on a lockout, Hunts offer Sands and Oils without lockout. CT2 is already casual content but at least it's still a raid and has always been advertised in that manner and provides a way to gear up if you are still behind the curve. The fact that they were advertised as casua/side content yet have become the be-all end-all of content in the game since 2.3 is proof enough that something needs to change.

[Saviorlito]

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.

You mean like farming myth for i90 gear to do the content that dropped i90 gear which is the reason you aquired the i90 gear? Hmmm.

Not after I realized people use third party applications. I left the Hunt linkshell I was in because a few members in there were finding members a little too quick.

Hunts just feel like Fates 2.0 at this point if Fates awarded myth and soldiery.

It's cause it eliminates any need to do any other content and that';s a bad thing. binding of coil only offers oil/sands to 1-2 people maybe one more or less depending on luck but those numbers are small compared to how many can obtain it through hunts.

Hunts in their current form aren't fun, it's not fun to actually see a mob and not be able to engage because the whole server will just attack you for not waiting even though it means you won't even get full credit cause you're forced to have to wait for 200 people to attack just to get a pitiful return with no true gratitude towards waiting.

It's a bore, and the fact this mentality exist cause of the rewards means one thing, they have to get rid of those rewards, I was all for just hunting those mobs and slowly working towards those vanity items but now I can't do that because they put a il110 as a reward for this content which is lame.

Now B ranks become utterly ignored .

And that is exactly the point. There are people that do not have a lot of time and they cannot dedicate it to LSs and parties. If you put a daily limit a lot of people will try to save them for A and S leaving Bs untouched. Those will be for whoever is playing casually and they can be soloed.

Soldiery+sands/oils is hardly BiS. Saying this ruins doing harder content is like saying myth gear ruined doing BCOB. That is just plain false.

Yes, that's why Sherlock. I'm sure everybody is collecting allied seals to spend them on myth gear.

The hunts are actually something that might keep alot of my FC from quitting this game, last patch everyone more or less universally hated. IT is a great change of pace to have worthwhile content in the open world. The majority of my free company has a very positive feedback with these, to the point many are saying it is the best content SE has added to this game.

most wish there were claims, but with that being an impossibility... the need for a massive hp increase on all hunts is required. I say nearly 100fold increase in hp. Even the hardest ones die in seconds
