Because of Hunts~~

[Barboron]

Force to ask FC for a dungeon run.

I had to laugh at this one. Anyway, just because people aren't doing the content you want to do, doesn't mean there is anything wrong. It is bad enough that SE already tried to lure us into dungeons for leveling by constantly merging FATEs and then rehashing them in the relic weapon content for atma, books, alexandrite, it is not even new content. Either way, if people aren't playing what you want, tough. Just ask people or form a group rather than expecting SE to force people to play.

Though I'm not a fan of things as they currently are, anything that shifts the focus/need off of instances is welcome.
I'm waiting for everything to cool down, but at least now I'll actually have something kind of enjoyable to do when it does.

You'll be waiting a long time. This content will be hot until 2.4 when sands and oils are no longer the best items in the game. It's not going to die down before then, it's too good.

To be fair, it's not that 'it's too good'. It's that everything else was too bad for the dull and uninteresting rewards they provide, IMO.
Just buff all the things.

Good point. Kinda what I was getting at in my first post too with my comment about Ramuh and CT2 being obsolete from day 1. Why SE decided to put i100 in Ramuh I don't know. Every other extreme primal has had useful gear worth going for. Should have been i110 rings and i100 weapons (because i110 would be too easy compared to alternative paths). CT2 gear should have been upgradable to i110 with a sand/oil too.

Agreed. The lockout on CT2 is idiotic, borderline tragic really. 90% of the gear in there goes unclaimed since the only reason one goes in there is for the oil/tomestones

I'm confident that this will resolve itself in time, when more people get most of the hunt rewards they were after.

I wonder about that to be honest. Hunts are still the best way to get myth and sol. You get i90 gear easily for your alts, i100 and oil for your main. What's there left to get?

The problem with hunts are the myth and soldiery rewards. Why run dungeons when I can just do a couple hunts and have myself capped in 1/4th of the time it takes to run multiple dungeons? The Blood Splattered Logs are a fair enough grind, but the other rewards are just overkill. It just kills every other type of content that gives myth and sol.

Again... Buff those rewards elsewhere.
When they announced that they were increasing dungeon myth rewards in the last update, I thought, "OK... Maybe this'll be enough for me to begrudgingly go back to grinding what I need for the animus books."
Then I saw they merely went from 50-70 per run and decided "**** that. I'll just stick with my old Darklight and ATMA."

While I don't massively care about boosting my iLvl since I find the progression/gear system uninteresting in this game, hunts mean that it is at least something I can have happen over time.
Remove the myth and soldiery though, and I'll be staying where I am pretty well indefinitely.
