A massively.com write up on why hunts are ruining this game

[Worm]

Hyperbole is what's really ruining MMOs.

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!

It's like you people play 1 job.

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.

You assume they're not going to do more with a brand new currency they just added to the game? I see them adding the next round of upgrade-able items to it with 2.4

You think they are going to do it in 2.4? I highly doubt that. They change what the currency is used for every other patch.

Hunts aren't ruining anything. I just started my alt and its now on its third week of soldiery. So no matter what I can only upgrade items based on that which is locked with a weekly cap. Even on my main I am now at the point where I can only upgrade one more item and then I'm soldiery locked already. So even if you could get 10 bazillion sands and oils, it eventually just boils down to getting your couple pieces done and then glamour items. Whoopty doo.

That article if terrible, your thread title is linkbait, & anyone hating on the hunts is too damned ocd. You're playing the game wrong.

Two biggest problems of hunts is that it doesn't match the time/reward of everything else that was released in the same patch.

Why not have Sands right away in ST? Also they can put Marked Logs in the 4th chest of ST for the entire alliance to roll on.

Why not have Sands/Oil/Logs be sold for Wolf Marks?

Why have i100 items drop from Ramuh EX?

they can lower hunts or lift everything up to that level.

and the Daily Bills are a total waste of time.

it's not that simple, it lowers the amount of players you can find to do other things. and this is not a game you can play when you can't gather up a group of 8 people.

They said they were going to add more marks, so I wouldn't assume this currency is a one shot thing.

They might decide to make the next relic upgrade a certain number of hunt logs, or kill this elite mark, or a new item that is added to the vendor, or a combination of them.

Hunts are killing the game any way possible:

Took out the worst of the comunity who expect u to share every hunt u find....
A lot of stress to the server and close to every day maintance....
Party Finder its empty, make the other content obsolete...

Easy posible solutions:
Make a weekly cap for allied seal (like 200-250)
Add Sand of time to CT2
Add a way to change myth for allied seals (like 500myths for 50 allied seals)
Add allied seals to roulettes (like 5-10) and Daily quest (1-2)
Rewrite how Daily Hunts works (1 seal????....)
Make possible to go into Coil 2 without complete Coil 1 t5... many players are stuck there!!!
Make posibble all coil content via duty finder (wtf with the static groups ? that suck) just add a weekly cap like CT for coil 6-9 and thats it....

Hunts are destroying the complete lv 50 game.
