Hunts becoming popular again?

[Yumi_umi]

And so it begins.....
The tome gear upgrade zerg of 2015.
Next week ppl will be decked out and ppl will be like how's FCoB?
And ppl will be like what? I haven't cleared t5 yet.
Yikes! Oh well i should take advantage of this before the nerfs happen again/ the community for hunting slows down om my server.

And I'll be sitting on a nearby cliff in {currently Hunt crazed zone}, sipping coffee and enjoying the inevitable rage.

I'm hoping there is a limit on how many coat/twine you can get through hunts in a week, but knowing SE there won't be. To add insult to injury they'll limit you to one a week from WoD, meanwhile people will be getting 5 a day from hunts.

Reviving hunts = good.
Making hunts THE BEST WAY to gear up = not good.

No need to bother adding new dungeons, raids, trials, etc. The entire population will be chasing piss-easy marks, and screaming angrily at each other in process, for at least the next 2 months.

Exactly. Making easy-peasy hunts the best (=ONLY) way to gear up properly is utter bs. It was like that back in the days hunts got introduced, its still like that.

which is why I hope SE learned there lesson the last time. I don't mind hunting, its something to do, and thats the reason I play games (distraction) but the last round of hunts killed a lot of viable content because "why do X when you can gear up through hunts?"

I hope so too, but I don't see anything in the patch notes indicating there is a limit. I would be totally ok with you being able to get 1 twine and 1 coat per week from hunts. If there is no limit however, 9/10 PF entries will be hunt groups, and nobody is going to care about any other content for at least the next month. I remember how hard it was to get Ramuh groups when 2.3 first came out. I remember people quitting out of dungeons and raids because ZOMG A HUNT JUST POPPED ON MY SERVER!!!

You do notice that they have not changed the amount of tomestones rewarded. Dungeons are a better source for those. If you want Carboncoat, Carbontwine, Sands of Time or Oil of Time then you want to hunt. If you want to purchase the gear to use those do other stuff.

If you capped poetics every week you have all the gear you need allready.

Except for the weapon and you can always use the Poetics to gear up a second class.

The big problem with Hunts when they were first introduced was that they were also one of the best sources of Myth and Soldiery making all other content (outside of ST for the Unidentified Tomestones) unnecessary if you wanted to gear up a class.

In 2.4 Hunts died down because A ranks no longer gave out limited tomes.
