    weekly B rank

    Hey why is weekly B rank a thing? Shouldn't these be daily? Is it THAT game breaking to make B ranks daily?

    People would still do S ranks... Because well there's more of them potentially in one day if your server is into that stuff.

    Let's pretend your server isn't into S ranks though... Wouldn't people farming relics or w/e else appreciate that extra 100 a day?

    Seems kind of silly. What's your thoughts?

    Then they would nerf the rewards for making B marks a daily thing and we know how people love things that get nerfed.

    progression called, they want their pacing back.

    if they did that, either less people would bother with A and S ranks, or they would nerf it to only be worth slightly more than the normal daily bills we have already.

    Yes, B ranks should be a daily hunt that's worth less than the current amount. The current dailies (FATES + random enemies) should be changed to weeklies with a few more targets to kill and greater rewards.

    B ranks would work SO much better as daily kill quests than stupid FATE hunting does.

    The B ranks were different at the start. I don't know what it was, I wasn't able to unlock the hunts when they first came out. But I do remember taking on those B ranks and the chaos that was going on with them with the crowds of people. I remember the fights over Naul in CCH. Then I think at the next big patch they changed something, the B rank went to a friendly icon and I could no longer get seals if I took it on, until I unlocked the hunt.

    B-ranks daily but with say, half (or there abouts) the current reward would work well. the thing is, there are those already in hunt groups who would get a small boost in their weekly seals and what not, but really it would not be imbalancing. what such a move would do though, is give all the other, more casual players, a way to collect seals at a meaningful pace.

    Originally B ranks were part of the ridiculous hunt free for all, and B ranks melted inside 3 seconds to the zerg rush.

    Then they were put on individual mark bills, and made weekly. Leaving only A and S elites for the hunting LS.

    I think the idea was to give the individual and/or casual players something to hunt since the A and S ranks were being monopolized by the zergs. However, due to the format of the A/S ranks, people in a hunting LS can grind out pretty insane rewards compared to players not in those groups, but instead plodding along through daily marks and weekly B ranks.

    Making B ranks daily, but cutting the reward in half would increase the weekly rewards possible from B ranks, but certainly not by enough to detract from the hunting of A/S rank marks. It would though offer many players a reason to pursue B rank marks.

    B marks were changed because people farmed them for easy points until the bigger fish popped up.

    While they do need to be updated, given the current situation and stance of Hunts and gear progression, I'm guessing it's fine as is (for now). When Heavensward is released and the Hunts get their update (probably 3.1), we might see major adjustments to how things work.
