And you blame SE for implementing Hunts?

Have you tried doing an advanced search with the words "notorious monsters" on these forums?

And these are only the results of the first ten pages, with the search restricted to "threads only".

What I'm trying to get at is: people wanted this. It's not SE's fault. The Hunts right now aren't working simply because (cheating aside) everyone wants to do it.

Give it the time to cool off and you will see NMs will be as enjoyable as they can be when the whole world isn't jumping on them. Look forward to the XIV version of Argus, coming soon!

It's actually not bad playing on NZ/Aus times on a NA server. Last night in Coerthas there were only two hunt groups and they wiped a few times. Chat was amusing, but quite civil.

If SE listened to the forums I'd have multiple atma weapons by now.


...and a bigger butt.

Hunts are a great idea.
However the implementation is a bit wrong as the rewards are too high.

Many players are making it their main focus. Thats not how it should be.

If you stumble across a mark and could either solo a B mark, or shout for a bit of help for a A or S from players in that zone.
That would would be good.

But we have teams of players who are doing nothing but swarming on every mark. Destroying it in seconds. Not as intended.

Reduce the reward so although beneficial, it's not the main focus. Keep people doing raids and dungeons.

The amusing thing is a lot of people hated the fact that dungeons and raids (Really, anything instanced) was so much of the main focus that the open world was simply a lobby, akin to my League of Legends client when I'm not on the Rift.

We don`t blame SE for adding Notorious Monsters/Mark Hunts.

We blame SE for adding them in the worst way possible.

Lets keep in mind that not all suggestion or requests = good/necessary suggestions or requests. Likewise, not all manners of implementation = the proper manner of implementation. With that said, as things are implemented, unforeseen things can happen, and they need to be adjusted around the response and actions of the playerbase; as well as around the activity and lack of activity of the playerbase.
