Fixing "The Hunt"

[Colt47]

SE has a lot of suggestions on how to "fix" the system. Unfortunately most of them seem to be playing with how many seals someone gets from monsters or capping oils / sands. The problem is that the hunt system isn't much of a system at all. When people are zerging NMs, that isn't the hunt system: that is the players cashing in on the Notorious monsters giving a lot of currency. The hunt system is that job board that gives out papers targeting specific monsters for extermination. They have the rewards set too low on the normal papers and the elite mark is near impossible to get due to it requiring killing a specific rare spawn monster, which if Naul is any indication, is over farmed to the extreme. The best solution would be to make the elite mark more of a leve type quest that players can only pick up once a week, while buffing the rewards of the normal papers.

As for the NMs themselves, they are fine as is. The people grinding those hunting seals via NM farming are probably the same people who had no problem with doing Atma grinding. I think we all know how popular Atma grinding is on the forum.
