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

Well I didn't enjoy the idea of having to do 30 Brayflox speedruns for each Animus upgrade book. It requires 1,500 Myth per book or a total of 13,500 Myth to upgrade from Atma to Animus, before Hunts this meant you literally had to do 270 Bray SRs to fully upgrade your weapon. Does that sound fun to you?

I'm really happy the Hunts give so much Myth, because normal people who didn't run Bray 24 hours a day actually had a chance of upgrading Atma to Animus. This is I think one of the goals that Squenix had when they implemented Hunts.

No one forced you to do speed runs. I've upgraded my Animus, and I didn't do a single brayflox speed run. The difference? You had your new shiny weapon a few weeks before me. Big whoop.

Hunt devalue the rest of the games content, because they over reward for the nature of the content. It has made the game unbalanced in reward design. Which is why you see the massive zerg.

It's not because hunts are the most fun this game has to offer. It's hunts are the single most rewarding thing to do in the game.
