    When I hear the word "entitlement", I think of poor-sport casuals that are too afraid to compete with other players in the open world. They will whine and cry and protest to the developers to change the entire nature of the game, so that they can win.

    The "Hunt" is what it is for a reason.....it means get out there and LOOK!...not leech off of other people's findings through an LS and expect 50 people to wait on you and your potato of a computer to zone in....

    Except the side activity the Hunt was meant to be became the only way to get allied seals, which in turn is the only way outside of coil to get sands and oil of time (RNG ST drops notwithstanding).

    In the end, some have opted to show common courtesy instead of being cutthroat about it. Pray that SE places the alternate progression means back in dungeons and tomestones for the next patch, that way you can do hunts as you want instead of dragging down a ton of other people who simply want to gear up.

    * The sad thing is that FFXIV turned RDM into a turret, and people think that's what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to combine sword and magic into something more, not spend the bulk of gameplay spamming spells and jump into melee for only 3 GCDs before scurrying back to the back line like good little casters.
    * Design ideas:
    Red Mage - COMPLETE (https://tinyurl.com/y6tsbnjh), Chemist - Second Pass (https://tinyurl.com/ssuog88), Thief - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/vdjpkoa), Rune Fencer - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/y3fomdp2)

    I wouldn't say people are being cutthroat about it, just a fair number of people (myself included) simply do not enjoy downing a mob meant for a full party at the most with the entire server. I've soloed (most of) an A rank before, and that was fun. Low manning these things is fun. I absolutely abhor the massive zerg rush A and S ranks usually are. I'm playing to enjoy myself, not to sacrifice fun so everyone can get credit. Oh, and I'm not going "There's a group of people around a Hunt, guess I'll pull", I'm going "There's a Hunt mob with nobody around it, guess I'll solo it".

    Rewards really need to be adjusted and the number of mobs needs to be increased (return Bs to how they used to be, have 3 Bs per zone, 2 As and 1 S). Currently my only solid means of getting Allied Seals is through the Daily/Weekly marks, and that's just a whooping 274 Seals/week. Purely for vanity I need 10480, which is what? 38 weeks? Ducking ridiculous, and all because nobody at SE had the forethought to plan out the rewards properly.

    Hunts were rushed out, horribly balanced, and overall just a mess. The content just gives me a headache at the moment.

    With the hunts (havent done them decently yet, due being on ps3) I did 5 A ranks, because i stumbled upon them while they started (or lets face it they fall on my head while I do mining or something like that). For me it's laggy, never got a full reward on it because I dont want to drag down people with my laggines, so till I get new connection and ps4 I will not be doing them actively even if omg i want that gear like crazy for my summoner. (I keep doing the dailies and weeklies)

    What I hate the most of the hunts is the drama that happens in the shouts! its hunts, for me it's first come first served? People complaining after the thing was up for 5 minutes and the people actually waited, be faster or don't hunt at all. I know with my loading screens and coming there it would take me ages, I try to arrive but that's it.

    When I hunt the Bs i shout to ask if anyone else needs it, if not I just take it down, if yes, I tell them where I am and wait for them to come. Simple.

    Well that pretty much it, and i agree.....but you are NOT 'entitled' to that courtesy...it's given, not taken.
