are hunts the only way to obtain allied seals?

Close, but not so true. You can still get Full credit going solo. The trick is to keep dots up on hunt at all times, be high on the hate list and never stop dpsing, and be over geared for the hunt. Its hard but not un -do-able.

I think she was referring to finding the actual hunts. But, you are correct, but its a bit much on some A ranks and S ranks in general.

I'm hoping they move all the hunt items to GC items. How many types of currency does one game need?

Just add a GC rank, put them all there, and make hunts drop GC seals.
