The real problem with hunts; impact on the community.

That is, the perfect solution!!!! Rather than work to make the system better just tell the 90% that can't or won't participate in this that they should just wait for the 10% to get what they want so they can grab the leftover scraps. A+ would highly recommend. /sarcasm

Honestly I do not know what the solution is or if there even needs to be one. However, what you said and the way you said it, probably isn't soothing anyone upset in this thread.

Untrue.
day1 : Fates die in seconds fix it, rewards too good broken, bla bla bla
day30: Fates are boring, fix it, inrease rewards broken bla bla bla bla
day180: Fates are too hard, no one does it, stop giving rewards, broken, bla bla bla bla
day current: I hate fates, no one does the, they get in the way, need better rewards broken, bla bla bla bla.

Lesson learned:
bla bla bla bla. People whine no matter what, because they expect the devs to play nanny to the community.
