If I recall, you are playing FF14, which encourages OPTIONS, and pretty much a "solo" mmorpg your first time around to level 50 with a few dungeons and trials that you cannot solo on your own. And this is why this game to me is great, it gives people OPTIONS on how they want to consume the contents. Until Hunt pretty much render any other options pointless since the only activity with the most reward for your time is to hop in the HUNT ZERG train, or you will be left behind.
And if you consider "Hunting Party" is your way of interacting with others as a form of social interaction, then you are delusional. It is a mindless zerg party, where is the next pop, warp, PLEASE HOLD!!!! INCOMING!!! OMW!! DON'T KILL, RESET!! Zero tactics or strategy involved, just kill it fast, move to the next A ranks. I rather have everyone forced to do some sort of "group teamwork activities" that require some semblance of tactics.
I don't see why you can't get the same rewards as before, you cannot spam the B rank anymore, since it does not give ANY rewards if they are not on your daily list. Killing five of these a day is not going to be the most effective way to farm tomes, but those little rewards could help a lot of new players catching up. If the real reasons for Hunt is to help returning players to catch up with their basic entry level 90 gears, then they should reinstate the tomes reward for B rank. It will supplement other means of getting tomes and helping the casuals to catch up a bit faster so you don't have to deal with level 65-72 trying to kill content that are too difficult.
This is where you are wrong, I have no problem getting A's, and the reward is just beyond amazing, it's broken.... It was not as bad before since you have the B's mob to stall some party. Now the A's and S's are the only options, and everyone will just do these, only the casuals will do B's now. If the Hunt Train for A rank was crowded before, now it's exploding to eternity with more people will feel entitled and demand everyone to wait for their alliance of 24 people as well...
