All it took to hunt was a 5 second glance at Party Finder, and if you got tired or had little time, you hopped out at your leisure.

Coupled with the fact this change will make hunting for A's and S's even more vicious, and you've got a end result that really is going to satisfy a very, very small section of people trying to solo group content in a game based on playing with groups, while making everyone else quite discontent.
Lets say you grinded hunts with groups and did your hunt bills. How long would it take you to get enough sand and oil to upgrade a full set to 110?

How long does it take to buy all the i100 gear with soldiery?

Its still unbalanced.
