Hunts are a problem

[Kagari_Asuha]

People are not going to back off the easiest way to get what they want. Seeing how bare bones the story based content in this game is, SE seems to favor those types of players. That's just the way its always going to be. People are always going to take the easy road.

Yes, and it's up to SE to stop them whether those people like it or not.

No its up to SE to provide us quality content and stop pandering to the lowest common denominator.

I too, who have complaints about the hunts, have not beaten T5 nor ever set foot in second coil. I thought this would be a normal, non-static crazed way to get a few upgrades to my soldiery gear.

So, far after a week of particpating in hunts, I'm sitting on 166 seals, while I see hardcore raiders zerging every hunt possible, and walking around in 4-6 pieces of upgraded gear and weapons.

Are you solo? Have you joined a hunt ls?

While I hate the system there's literally 0 advantage being "hardcore raiders" in hunts. All you do is sit in a random zone "hunting" (While in actuality your working on your animus books ^_^) in a full hunt group. And when your LS or one of theirs does a <pos> you port wherever they say and follow the crowd. Soon as its pulled do things and huzzah.

Being a healer makes it easy mode btw. poke it once (aero is a good one for sch and whm since it has front loaded dmg so even if there is no room for the dot you will still hit it) then spam group heals until it's dead.

Are you solo? Have you joined a hunt ls?

Yes, I'm actually a member of one fairly large one, and a member of a new, smaller hunt LS.

I'll give you an example. Last night, the locations were being called out about every 5-10 minutes. Every single time, I immediately ported to where the LS's called the monster out. Exactly twice, I was quickly able to join a group and get credit. Every other time, the moster was obliterated before I arrived at the scene.
