Remove the hunt until the system works as intended.

Yes and no,........
SE this is a GAME and not a fulltimejob!!!

You need to go into hiding. Or avoid open areas. Soon you will have ppl on horseback trying to impale you with lancers with words ".......nobody told you to grind." craved on them.

While I appreciate the argument that you don't have to do hunts (of which I'm not I prefer dungeons etc) as the rewards are so rediculous and easy to obtain through hunts that's what everyone else is now doing. This has pushes queue times to be even longer than they were. Which means those of us who enjoy other content are then pushed into doing it or our progression grinds to a halt. I just wish they'd made the rewards en par with everything else then the community would have had more choice not less. And I do not think a roll back is a good idea. In the end it isn't the players fault. They are doing what every human does and are pushing for the easiest route to there goal. This happened in rift when conquest launched and everyone under the sun had top rated pvp gear in a few days. No way can you role back and upset a large proportion of the community for something that the developers didn't think about properly.

I just cant stand the fact the only part of the database taking profits of it are....cheating casuals.

I trust you have some evidence to back up this statement because otherwise it really causes the rest of your post to lose credibility.

the dmg is already done,ppl have been farming for days ,the only solution : put the sands on myth vendor and be done with it until u can implement a better hunt system for the next tier

Cant we make Hunt like a pop up like treasure maps..... or something like FF12!!!!!!

[Kaskel2000]

I get the idea of speeding progression up in preparation for an increase in iLvl, thus why we have a massive boost to Myth in 2.3 to regular dungeons and raids. I feel that the developers did not forsee that people would grind these mobs and so 5 sands in one week was not anticipated. This has lead to the over realiance on hunts over every other form of play. So maybe we need a solution that speeds things up but makes all forms viable? From the lock outs on CT2 and Coil 2 it seems that once a week for a sand/oil could have been what they were thinking. Reducing the amount of seals gained per hunt or increasing the cost wouldnt negate the constant trains for hunts as they still are the most viable solution to get them. I think a cap on seals so that only one sand/oil a week could be gained would be my thinking (and that is my own opinion not saying its the right way to go) and a reduction in myth so that the time taken is similar to that of dungeons.

Well, the intent of the random implementation of the rare spawns is to try and make it something non-routine, that much I understand from seeing how it operates. The only issue is how to make it both non-routine and effective to do for players with a limited budget of time. The rare spawn system is forcing people to utilize third party tech to make it more time efficient for a reason.

And again another proof that the problemis not the system but the users.

I disagree. The flaw is indeed in the system and its design.

Add the most wanted top tier rewards to a content, create a high intensity competition and you've got yourself a recipe that will drive players to use whatever means possible to get an edge over others to ensure that they are compensated for their grind as quick as possible.

This hunt system comes with an inherent nature of ensuing greed, selfishness, and cheating. The rewards are too great to ignore and competition is equally brutal.

This is not an excuse to cheat, but it is the reason as to why it's happening.

Having a weekly cap of Allied Seals could help. You'll have a huge rush at the beginning and it'll peter out towards the end of the week. The current hunt system is too damn toxic right now for the environment, at least on Gilgamesh.

Seriously they need to shut this thing down at the rate this is going. Pretty soon, everyone and their grandma is gonna be running around in ilv110.

They should make marks STOP FREAKING DROPPING books and allied seals. Instead, they should make S-rank a weekly and daily should consist of 2 A-ranks and 3 B-ranks. And no, I'm not talking about 50 seals for S-rank and 20 seals for A-rank, even that is too freaking much. What's happening now is that everyone is working together and gathering at the where the mark spawns and then zerging it and seeing who has the highest burst DPS. Tanks and Healers are useless and you're gimping your group if you're not a dragoon or bard.

This is absolutely ridiculous, if my friends weren't playing this game, I would quit this game right now due to this. I'm not being your usual whiner around this forums, this really pisses me off that much. Pretty soon, end-game is gonna be for purely bragging rights. Good news whiners, one of my friend seems to be getting bored of this game anyways, pretty soon you won't be hearing me whine about your whining anymore. Forget my several hundreds of millions of gil, this game ain't worth it anymore.
