A few small suggestions to improve the hunt expereience,

The state of hunts is worse than ever. S ranks die often times within 2 minutes of spawns, congestion prevents people from hitting A ranks. I have a suggestion to help solve the S rank problem and a suggestion to help alleviate the A rank problem.

S rank: Simply put a 5 minute invuln on S ranks. This way people have 5 minutes to get there which is super fair.

A ranks: Add a queue for instancing instead of saying the instance is congested. I know people will still have issues, but at least they wont be clicking a button over and over and HOPING they get a hit.

Another thing that could be done is restrict hunt rewards for would transfers. Keeping people hunting on their own world would make it a lot easier for people.

The state of hunts right now is bad and we need change.

I agree with these changes, though, I would agree with the situation being looked at in general considering how bad things are. It doesn't help that the community (at least on my server) is very much of the mindset 'if you didn't get here as soon as it was called out, you're SoL' and that does everything but help foster what has been, for the most part, a welcoming community. With such a swathe of people coming into the game due to the game's recent boon in popularity along with Endwalker's release, keeping things as they are would be a terribly detrimental way to curb the game's growth in the long-term. Right before Endwalker, sure, hunts had their problems but nowhere near as horrendous as they are now.

Yeah I agree for the most part. Not sure if I am agreeing with locking them on worlds, without increasing either the Rewards significantly or spawn rates/Cooldowns for those S-ranks.

But I certainly have given up on hunttrains that are in different worlds already, cause there is no way you make it in time. Things die fast and most of the time even when I rush right at the moment of the call out, I arrive when the Mob just dies without getting a hit. Thats a waste of Gil and Time and frankly isn't fun at all. Its frustrating.

Espcially if its for special fates like Chi. I have logged 3 HOURS early, trying to switch over to Balmung, but my world change queue never popped just to eventaully find out Chi Spawned and was killed. That was really painful. that was just last week during peak times.

Maybe because we have so many players, Spawnrates simply need to increase/Cooldown decrease. The unholy Rituals people do around Chi are fun to watch at first, but it reminds you of housing savage when people sit there for 8+ hours.

I do think this needs to be readdressed and made more accesable.
