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

[Jandor]

it IS to late, the damage is done, in fact if anything is done to reduce hunts now people will stop caring about it, because they are used to how they are now.

It's to late to fix now, otherwise is like promoting a "exploit early exploit often" playstyle.
But it's not to late to fix other content, like increasing the daily hunt reward to at least 50 seals a day or removing the lockout in ST for gears/oils since it's lv100 un-upgradeable and if you are gonna give infinite sands/oils from hunts, then you can give infinite oils from ST.

too late for a fix i guess

Something considered broken should always be fixed, no matter how many people have abused it/got used to it.

IMHO.
Add Sands to ST (with small chance of appearing in 4th chest.)
Add small amounts of Allied Seals to Frontlines, Wolves Den & Roulettes.
Decrease seals from random hunts.
Increase seals from hunt marks.
Add the ability to get/buy/craft bait for daily marks.
Limit sands/oils from hunts to one (or two) each a week.
Very slight decrease to tomes dropping from hunts.
