Didn't see it posted here so either it never got posted or didn't get the read it deserved.

EDIT: The "ruining" is more or less my own words. Not the words of the author.

People just love to cry. It's called a "hunt" for a reason, didn't find it, to slow to get to it? well you're not a hunter lol... another wasted thread and a wasted topic on a URL domain lalal

Wasted post too it seems. The article doesn't complain about "not getting full credit". In actual fact, the article talks about how much you can actually obtain from it, rendering a lot of brand new content practically (and literally) useless.

Ramuh as a prime (no pun intended) example.
i100 ring? No thanks, I will just do some hunts and get an easy oil - will even get the soldiery to buy the base item while I do them.
i100 weapon? No thanks, I will just buy & upgrade an i110 soldiery weap..

ST? The only purpose for this is to get a UDT. Don't want a new soldiery weap? Then back to hunts!

Don't know what people find so surprising about this horizontal patch implementations.. It's not intended for the 1% wait your 2.5 months for the next patch. SE solely caters to the casuals over HC folks and people clearly know that.
In 2.2 you know all too damn well they will not release content that is equivalent to SCoB; it's just factual such as your relic will never be better than the Coil wep.

Oh btw, a wasted post too lol.
