Allow us to buy Sands of Time with Soldiery

[Amberyl]

I haven't once said they haven't done harm, but I haven't really commented on them because I don't really know what they are fully about.

My dualbox account has an ilvl in the 90's and hasn't done a story quest above lvl 24. Almost all of that gear came from casually stumbling across elite marks while atma grinding my main. It's weapon is an ilvl 70 proc bought solely with the money generated in the first 20 levels of content, because hunts have devalued them so much they're worth pittance.

Let me repeat that, just to get the point home. An ilvl in the 90's without ever having progressed the main story beyond getting it's chocobo.

Hunts have destroyed the structure of endgame. They layered vertical progression in every patch until 2.3, and then wrote off almost every piece of instance content added since 2.0 release.
