I have had no problems with the hunt system. I came back for 2.3, had alot of catching up to do, and hunts helped me out a bunch. I got into a hunt LS, and i actively participated, and when i did, i was rewarded. I just got into a FC for casual folks, im on balmung, connecting from south korea, and yeah sometimes i dont get full credit or even any credit, but thats life lol. The system is still awesome. Hell while solo i\\\\'ve reported 6-7 rank B, 2-3 rank A\\\\'s. I got barely any credit for them because i was solo, but i didn\\\\'t mind , i was farming atmas.
If you actively are scanning zones, tracking death timers, and running around "hunting", you will be rewarded.
If you dont want to rush around, hunting, the duty finder still offers plenty of ways to farm mythology.
If your concerned with your relic not progressing as fast as others, go hunt. It\\\\'s that simple.
Most things in life require some hard work. Get used to it i guess?
