Because of Hunts~~

[Gilthas]

At this point the only fix to Hunts that I expect is 2.4 introducing higher iLvl gear while hunt rewards remain the same.

As for DF problems... yeah, I can easily envision problems in getting people to do BCoB and pretty much all the older Primals, but I don't think the fault for that lies entirely with Hunts but mostly with outdated gear. We've had what? Over 4 months of Soldiery gear now? Most people are already on i100 stuff.

Lets hope that 2.4 fixes these excessive rewards on Hunts and that SE finds a good way to encourage people to do the older dungeons again.

How many times should we put up with it? Are MMO's only for people who liked getting jerked by the chain? There comes a time when you just have to say "No".

You consider atmas and especially echo buffs as SE "jerking us by the chain"?

The reason why the atma problem is really a non-problem is because you can get equivalent weapons "easily" (much less time put in at least) from elsewhere. Relics are supposed to be for people that want something to grind for.

People that complain about the echo buff are just being stupid. Most of them are pissed that content that they no longer do has been made easier for the majority of the playerbase, aka, they're just being selfish. Then there's the smaller faction that is annoyed that they can't experience the original difficulty of the content anymore, but given that when BCoB was released people were doing it with i70 stuff and now getting a mix of i90/i100 stuff is easy to get, they never really had a chance to experience the original difficulty, echo or not.
