The Hunt - a game breaking feature

[Samsta]

I haven't been playing for a while, and I see that we have a new feature that people complain about.

All I have to say is that it was the same complaining when ilvl90 was the best ilvl and you could get it with tome grinding or from coil. People complained that people can get the best ilvl gear too easily without doing the hard content.

I see that SE have 2 ways to reward people: by grinding and by completing hard content. Completing hard content has always given a little better gear, as it does now. This is the way SE does things and I have no problems with it. Now it is actually harder to get the gear by grinding, previously you only needed tomes, now you also need the sands of time. I mean isn't this the problem here: gear is the primary meaning of hunts, to obtain seals that you can use to buy logs that you can use to buy sands of time. I don't think that you people have any problems with the hunts or seals itself if they would be used to other purposes.

There will always be people complaining no matter. The only thing that changes are the complainers. The people that liked the status-quo (like me) will complain because they liked the previous way of life. I did not complain when it was tomes and coil (I did support for a weighted RNG on coil drops based on what you and your party already have). I enjoyed it. However, I started to complain when they added the worthless grinding. Now, had they made it were you did a series of non-grinding quests (similar to relic) that actually kept you stimulated and immersed you with the lore, then I would not have complained about it. However, Atma, Myth, Alexandrite, spirit bonding, and hunts grinding is not fun and it completely ruined the game for me.

I started to get burned out with atma farming, it became worse with myth grinding. When I finished my animus I felt disillusioned and I realized that patch 2.2 had very little new things to add to the game. I decided to continue with the game because I did enjoy coil and Levi ex fights. However, once they added the Novus I began to hate the game. The PF virtually disappeared, and I started to focus on crafting to get money for materia. Then I realized how much I hated crafting and gathering. I decided to give up on the Novus weapon because I hated wasting time on the market board, crafting, gathering, and spirit bonding for random, sometimes worthless, materia. I then began to log in less and less. Then I only logged in for coils.


When 2.3 came out I was excited, I was looking forward to the new CT (ST) and Ramuh Ex fights. I enjoyed the first round of CT, even with the constant trollings. However, I noticed that the PF was not being used for ST parties and instead were all focused on hunts. I open the quest and I tried to do some of them. I joined several parties and I virtually got nothing. After several days I realized that I no longer enjoyed the game, I hated it. I told my coil static that I was quitting the game, but I would help them out until they find a replacement for me. My subscription ended on August 16.

Well, that is a sad thing to hear. I myself love crafting and the current game and I am actually gonna start playing it again.
