Why are elite hunts so valuable? What are the devs thoughts?

all non-essential systems of the core game yet they get a speedy reply.

Here hunts have been devaluing content , crashing servers, making mobs disappear for 3 weeks.

I think it's time for a response

You'll be waiting a long time. They avoid difficult questions like an obese person avoids a salad.

Take, for example, their speedy response to Atma farming. Oh, yeah... zero official response.

Page 3... Checking for Dev response. Hm. Yep Square Enix is turning their backs on us at this point. Hunts are amazing and perfect I guess. Thanks SE!

The Hunts are a combination of several requests made by players. They aren't broken & I'd say are working as intended. We ask for it, we got it, & they are awesome.

i don't want a Lobster Roll, Steak & Eggs, Wasabi, Soy Sauce, Salmon Sashimi and Raw Oysters in my Strawberry Milkshake. how you combine stuff makes all the difference in the world.

How are they not broken when they aren't balanced with the rest of the content?

A full hard mode dungeon clear gets you 50 myth and 45 soldiery.

Or

you can hunt and get:
B Rank: 5 Allied Seals, 30 Myth and 10 Soldiery.
A Rank 20 Seals, 80 Myth and 20 Soldiery.
S Rank 50 seals, 200 Myth, 40 Soldiery.

In the time it takes to run one dungeon you can get multiple B/A rank kills for far greater rewards. Not only that but you're also collecting allied seals on top of it. There is no content equivalent to hunts which make them devalue the rest of the game.

To balance Hunts with the rest of the content SE needs to take away myth and soldiery from the hunt rewards and limit the number of books you can purchase each week.

Or
Reward each dungeon boss kill with 80 myth 20 soldiery and add 20 seals for the full dungeon clear.


How is it not broken when so many people show up that it:
crashes the servers
forced people to 90k
the mob doesn't render
freezes consoles
solo players can't get credit
small parties can't get credit

How is it not broken when:
You can take agro and reset a mob (griefing)
causes community disputes.

Tell me again how it's not broken.

Too much emphasis is placed on Elite Hunts because of the reward imbalance with the rest of the games content. Either bring Hunt rewards inline with everything else, or bring everything else up to the current value of the hunts. Direct players to other forms of content to gain rewards.

The hunts aren't broken. It's the players than are causing whatever problem you're experiencing. Only twice I haven't been able to target an S zerg, but I haven't experienced any server crashes.

You may find a mark or you may not. Unless everyone quits an instance, you're guaranteed the rewards for completion. That's a fair trade off.
