So why are hunts more special than savage coil?

[Cherie]

I know lots of people love the hunts. I wouldn't dare try to take that away from people... I'd probably lose a hand.

Hunts are one of many types of content in this game, much like coil or frontlines.

Hunts, you can get, what is it, two dozen titles?, gear upgrades, vanity items and more achievements than I can count (it gets it's own achievement category)...etc

Around the same time savage coil was released... There is... four titles... that is it! The titles are ok titles, and don't get me wrong, those of us that would like them mostly all know what they are.

If you look at frontlines: There is a mount, another whole achievement category full of stuff, another dozen titles, lots of gear/vanity items and etc to get.

I totally get it that doing savage coil is for the glory. I know some of you have been doing it and have some of the titles. I'm not saying the system is broken or that it should be changed. I just wanted to know: Here is this content that probably took as much time working out as the hunt, but has so few rewards. What's with that?

If I were to guess, it would be to not upset the completionists. Personally, I may never complete savage coil, I'm fine with that. But it's hard to get people excited to go do savage coil cause there really is nothing to be gained at all. A few titles? Who even knows what that title is for? If you are doing it for the glory, aren't people going to damn you for being elitist?

If you say, "Well, you don't need a carrot, you should go do it for fun!"... Ok, you got me there, but ask that about hunts... Would you go do hunts if there was no mark system, no rewards? Would there be around hundreds of people doing them day or night (on my server leviathan there are always at least a hundred or more, even at the wee hours of morning) if there was no reward but maybe four different titles to choose from?

So, once again, I'm not asking for change. I just want enlightenment. Why are hunts so much more special than this savage coil? Would it have hurt for something random as a reward besides four titles... Shoot, a free chocobo hat? lol

Hunt has the BEST rewards and incentive for the shortest amount of time and requires almost zero effort other than roaming around, finding stuffs, and zerg kill fast, rinse repeat. Suddenly there is almost no reasons to do other content because those require a lot more time + efforts + and much less rewards. It has been a year. The fact that they learn nothing from the FATE party zerg destroying dungeon party finder at launch, and the "speed run" skip every damn CS and bullying the newbies to do so - very disheartening. One content cannot be the one with the best rewards in the shortest amount of time. If the next patch is not fixing Hunt, there is no point to continue until patch 2.4 or next expansion.
