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

I don't understand why some think it is broken. If you are doing the duty roulette, don't you want people to have at least ilvl 90 gear, as apposed to coming in with ilvl 58 or 60?

it will let people jump from ilvl 45 -> 90 -> 110 and keep them close with the ilvl 120 -125 raiders. Soon all of the items received from hunts wont be an alternate to progression (ie the current problem), but only a means to catch up. That alone will fix most of it.

I agree with this post. Let's not nerf hunts into being non-viable before we even have a chance. They have been a godsend for a new player like me, you do realize you get kicked out of groups for not having a high enough ilvl with the way people act in this game? Remove the rewards from hunts and it will be next to impossible to gear up unless people are willing to carry someone through a bunch of runs. Which most people are not willing to do btw.

kicked for not having high ilvl? ehm ??? what???,if u need hunt 110 gear so u dont feel carried something is wrong.... u get free ilvl 90+ ilvl100 from soldiery CT, thats enough gear to kill everything atm

if u think u need to be i110 to kill mobs that drop 110 gear

It's not me that thinks that. It's the rest of the players in the game that insist you need the best gear at all times. Please read next time, thanks!

why would you expect people not to strive for better gear when they know it exists?
