Hunting parties & the ToS violations they are spawning are a sadness this game will now endure. People doing mark hunts for hours, for days, & with no end in sight, so they can upgrade, or store up sands. Grind that caters to those with massive amounts of free time, & leaves the working class/parental types to do dailies that will take over 100 days to acquire a sands. Was the myth grind for zodiac weapons really not enough?

This is a missed opportunity to take a bit of grind out of FFXIV. The game will now be abused with radar plugins. There is no good reason to do the daily mark hunt, because waiting for a fate(s) to get a total of 7 seals doesn't make sense, when you can get 20ish allied seals for killing 1 thing in 15 s.

We could have had a daily duty that takes 20-60 min that gives enough seals so that in X days we can afford a sands. A quest that caters to the needs of players who have just enough time to log in, do a dungeon, & a raid.

TL;DR
make hunts a duty
