Cross World Visitation is Hurting Hunts

[Liam_Harper]

I found it interesting that you cannot gather timed nodes on other servers. It makes sense, they don't want rare items being made too easy to get, potentially losing value and affecting the economy, or stress the servers in ShB so they played it cautious.

...But then at the same time Cross-World hunting is fine, gaining thousands of extra tomes and seals with a CWLS, wrecking hunt communities and probably straining the servers a ton when ShB S ranks hit. No caution or restriction. I don't get it. It's like they did this intentionally thinking it would be an improvement.

Snip!

I think they barred timed nodes on visited servers for technical reasons, quite frankly. The timer in question is likely being processed/tracked by your home server, so allowing timed nodes on other servers could potentially open up the ability to gather a timed node multiple times by visiting another server with another timer.

It's the same for hunts in a sense - every server has its own hunts. The difference between hunts and timed nodes, however, is that the players already on that server can kill the hunt before you even get there, essentially making hunts a shared resource.

Is it a smart design? Probably not. But you can at least see why they did it this way upon delving deeper.
