SE wildly irresponsible with hunt reward implementation yet again

[Giantbane]

Well said. Not to mention that SE will always do something about the contents that are abandoned or have issues with, a few big examples:
1. Hunts are abandoned = use the coate/twine to make it hyped up again.

Hunts weren't abandoned, they were appropriate for the number of people that were intended to challenge that content. Throughout 2.4, usually there were 4-16 people that would show up for A ranks as they were a decent source of soldiery and there was some ok stuff you could buy with seals if you were gearing up alts or new to the game. Tons of people would still show for S ranks. This was the amount of participation this content would support without becoming silly zergfest it is now. They should have left it alone or added some mild rewards to it.

What they've done is enticed about 50x as many people to participate in content than it supports. It devolves into general silliness and bickering. I don't see how that's good for the game by any measure.

and there the question, why make a content for 1-2% of the community of the game? because what you describe it's this if not even less than 1% we are more of 2Millions people in this game if per server you have 16-20 people that show up for this content... what the point? i means this feature from the start is bad on all the point. why they haven't decide to revamp it before add more oil on the fire?

i fail to understand what they try to accomplish with this feature? do they have bring it because of nostalgia? if that the case it's soo bad! if stuff from the past are not used in modern day of the mmorpg is not without reason!

and more important i fail to understand why they have create this mess instead to revamp the guildleves from the V1 and use it for it! it will have been soo much better. they still believe that people hate leves, because people was hating them in V1 because it was the only content for soo long. but now with all the stuff we have, the leves is perfect for even replace the daily quest they begin to overuse.

S's support lots of people and lots of people showed up.

A's support fewer people, so fewer showed up at a time. I would do some As from time to time to supplement soldiery for my zodiacs/alt gear or just for fun. But I wasn't compelled to do them all the time because it wasn't the best source of top tier gear in the game (you can spam this vs. coil only gives you 1-2 carbontwine per week that has to be shared between 8 people). So you'd get a fair number of people doing them, they just weren't all doing them at once.

The hunts are bad for me because they destory the Q's (just like they did last time). After coming home from work/school I dont have much time to sit and wait for very long Q times because everyone is Hunting (their choice, I know) Now, farming for lights as a solo player is nearly impossabile (even on heals) running Dfs needed for the relic quest is almsot died. I dont blame hunters,I just feel maybe seals and rare items should always be place in DFs with very few in the open World.

the relic will become i135 more likely. not i130. as that would be utter bs with all the work on it and then it beeing only on par with a easy to get in 2 weeks ironworks weapon. not gonna happen. they will add carbontwine on ct 3 the second patch 2.51 hits because thats we relic gets the next bump and there needs to be alternatives to it. they will add carbon to weekly i guess and add tombstone to ct 3 loot. because by then most people got thier 6 armor pieces out of ct 3 already. it would be dead if nothing new is added. the weekly is not enough to keep it going.

Well, actually it is still fun to see so much drama and hate. Tho as someone who is not on the rush to get ALL the new stuff ASAP just for uhh doing the same content I already can do with easy-to-get gear, the experience in the adrenaline of running to a hunt to see if I can land a hit, and doing it a couple of times till I get bored and do something else is a nice little fun to get out of routine.

Dunno, maybe I would be mad too of hunts if I was doing them at peak hours and NEEDED THEM to get some gear having some couple of stats more for doing hard content like coil, but, Im not one of those special people.

From what I was able to tell, it was taken when Yoshi-P was invited to an event on Tonberry with fellow Japanese players. Naturally, "foreign" players crashed the party and kept him from being able to teleport away through the "Trade" command. Frustration and yes, this photo. XD
They ended up retreating to the FC's house for protection against the mob. Lol

At least that's what the reddit thread said...They even had some google translations of some of the Japanese and the arguments.

The thread was false.
This picture is from another older stream. Like KirakunAUS, he was just showing his ring.

In Japan, showing the middle finger isn't an insult.

Awwww! :/ Foolin' me reddit!

The story was at least funny.
