Yep, game is dead. I mean never before in FFXIV: ARR we were handed top-tier gear just for grinding stuff like Allagan Tomestones, and since all the Soldiery gear has the best stats everybody is getting BiS from Hunts.

Let's face it, Hunts were supposed to be a "Casual fix", as in, casual players/non-raiders needed a way of getting their i110 gear. If you look at it from a casual player POV, log in the game, do hunts for 2-3 hours max, log out, doing this you could get up to 500 allied seals assuming Hunts are the only thing you do and that you don't miss any mark (which is really not likely). Treated like the casual content it's supposed to be, it's working as intended.

The main issue is hardcore players (aka players the Hunt's rewards weren't directed at exclusively) people who, since have probably already cleared coil for the week, have nothing left to do and no-life Hunts. People being greedy, wanting to have all the new items you can get with allied seals, is also a problem, but is one SE can't fix.

If you are one of "those" raiders, you can still look down people with only Soldiery gear since you have High Allagan so you will still feel special, there is really no downside.

How about making roulettes give allied seals as well? It will actually make people go back to doing roulettes since I'm pretty sure anyone doing Hunts cap myth and sold while doing them.
