Please make hunts like leves/treasure maps!

Or you can make it so that the mobs are phased. For instance, remember open world dungeons from 1.0? Imagine if they brought those back for the Hunts. You have a bill active? Great, now you can gather some friends, or shout for a group. Upon doing so, you can go into there and the mob is there waiting for you somewhere within. This will of course limit how often you can do it, or encourage you to join more random people who have not done it yet that day/week etc. Now you don't have to deal with things disappearing, or having to port into an area and watching it die before your eyes in slow motion as you scream in horror and disdain.

Agree with this thread except I think A and B rank should be like maps but you can leave S rank to be open world like they are now.
That way those massive large parties can continue their zerg fests but small parties and FC can still take part and enjoy without fighting with the bigger groups.

I think that would be a solution that works for everyone.

But most of all.... Can we please get some concrete response from the staff? ]The HP bandaid did not work and a lot of people are still feeling disappointed and left out of this system!

No..the reason people are doing this is because of the rewards offered. As long as you farm the Allied Seals you can get Sands/Oils/Tomestones for Soldiery items you can't even afford yet, but eventually will be able to upgrade. There's no lockout and it's made easier with a 3rd party app that was largely ignored until this came along. The daily rewards from the GCs aren't worth it at all, 7 Allied Seals a day when you can just join these Linkshells/parties and leech the benefits from them (which is what's really happening). It's not a Hunt it's a Slaughter. It's made the community even uglier than it was before. It's left a bad taste in people's mouths and SE has to do something about it along the lines of ideas brought up in this topic and other topics.

No TY.. lol. SE will not change hunts over a few posts.. And i say a few because they have over 2 million players.. lol. Hunts are meant to be 100% open world. If you dont like the content there are many other things you can do. I do agree that they semi-need to be fixed:
1) Raise HP of mobs again.(So that they are not killed in 2 seconds)
2) Prioritize the hunt mobs so that ppl can actually see them.
3) maybe.. just maybe make them invincible for like a min or 2 so ppl can get there( That would only be in effect for A and S ranks) even though S doesn't need it lol.

And dont limit Allied Seals.. Just raise the price of that book lol

Considering they got added over afew posts on the message board I disagree. And between the rampant cheating and the fact that a large FC can corner the market(thanks to that cheating) I don't think they are going to keep it this way.

All this would do it make it a gigantic cluster when the mob actually becomes "live". Next we'll see the bots with the claiming feature like in XI (if we don't have it already).

Also, I really don't get the mentality that people have to wait for others to make the pull. I've heard far too many stories where people wait, and then they don't end up getting full credit. No one is owed anything, it's just tough luck that you weren't the one to stumble upon the mob.

FWIW, I don't do hunts at all as I think the current system is too jacked up to be fun. I love the idea of somehow mixing this in with the leve sytem, but I doubt there will be major changes.

On the other hand, hunts are creating a lot of hostility between players, so perhaps they will do something to fix the big issues. I can't imagine SE would want to be known for its ridiculous playerbase. I do blame the players for how things have turned, not SE. Sure, they could have implemented hunts in a different fashion, but that doesn't absolve the players of any personal responsibility for turning into entitled, cheating, whiny babies. :3

People are only doing it because it breaks the game. If "open world content" just gave a title it sure as hell wouldn't be like this.

Further more how many people would bother doing them if the sands/time rewards was removed from the Allied seals upgrade path.
