When are hunts going to be balanced with the rest of the game?

[Taruranto]

You fail to understand. The soldiery cap is pointless.

Hunt marks over reward when compared with other content. You receive a massive amount of Myth and Soldiery from a single elite mark kill. You receive a minimal amount of Myth/Soldiery by doing a full hard mode dungeon run in comparison. Hunts are unbalanced with the rest of the game.

Do you get it now?

lets put it into perspective:
A full hard mode dungeon clear gets you 50 myth and 45 soldiery

you can hunt and get:
B Rank: 5 Allied Seals, 30 Myth and 10 Soldiery.
A Rank 20 Seals, 80 Myth and 20 Soldiery.
S Rank 50 seals, 200 Myth, 40 Soldiery

which is going to take you less time, less effort to get what you want?

See the imbalance?

Yeah, but dungeons are instanced content, therefor garbage. They are not content that should be in a mmorpg.

Also no one liked farming myth.

Uh. Is this your first MMO or something?

[Taruranto]

I should ask you that question, since you like instanced content.

No this is not my first MMO. Instanced content is really the backbone of any major MMO out there.

Fixed that for ya.

Don't know what recent means for you but:

It is not widely known when instances were first used in this genre, however The Realm Online (1996) is sometimes credited as introducing the concept.

And then:

The term MMORPG was coined by Richard Garriott, the creator of Ultima Online, in 1997.

And then:

Alright, but it doesn't change what I say. In older mmropg instanced were the exceptions, not a common commodity. FFXI had "instanced" in the form of Dynamis (well, one per server, but still), but they never felt like that. I'm not including BCNM because they took place in an arena and you could even see what happened from outside.

A world of instances accessible with instant-teleport with DF is not a world for a mmorpg.

There's almost nothing they can do at this point, the damage is done with the flooding of the game with tomes and seals.

Not to mention all the animosity the whole thing caused between players on the servers.

Hunts were a horribly executed idea that did more harm to this game than anything, and the next couple of patches may put a few more nails in that coffin if SE doesnt get its head out of its arse and think before they put in more stupid things like this.

What's wrong with the flood of tomes? Did people really like SR brayflox so much?

Beside, it will hardly matter in 2.4
