Nothing beat Trials roulette for Mytho grind speed and Expert roulette with quest is easiest and fastest way to obtain Mysterious map (and also it provide you with soildiery cap for a week).
Yes, hunts are quite versatile in a number of thing you obtain, but they are nowhere near the most efficient way of doing so, and if you do not need seals anymore, there are no point in hunting, you can do the same with less efforts.
You don't need to do 90% of other content including hunts and dungeons to get even better equip - just do Coil2 and that's all. Ban Coil2 and move half of the stuff elsewhere? Content should reward you, and it's good if it reward you based on dedication and time spent. Hunt is structured to be competitive PvE content, it's assumed that the better you are at competition, the better rewards you got.
Yes, yes. But unfortunately, S rank on 48h respawn timers, have a huge comptetion and you usually will get almost nothing if try to react on its spawn (getting party, getting ported etc).
Instead, you can get 100-200 mytho from 15 mins Trials roulette. I better go to daily hunts and get item in 3 days that go to hunts to get ilvl90, it's too much trouble for such reward.
I don't see how hunting makes "other features pointless". Coil is still much more relevant, farming soldiery/mytho is better do in other places.
Upgrading gear to ilvl90? we have Coil1 for this, very easy to do, requires nothing.
Coil only rewards a few. Why not complain about it? It the same type of content - at this point of time only dedicated will get a loot. As this is a catch-up patch, you only need dedication and not a static party to succeed. Wait for 2.4 when it'll be further scaled down for less dedicated and more casual crowd.
You know, wiping in T9 for weeks is not fun at all also. It creates drama, people leaves, a lot of trashtalks etc. It's just usually enclosed behind the closed doors, it doesn't mean it not exist.
