Of course, all the hamlet suppliers want is making it top 20 and not increasing hamlet level, so eh.
The thing about it is, we already get the gold chest from level 2 hamlets. Unless the gold chest in the level 3 hamlets is somehow different it won't make a difference because points past 50k are seemingly worthless at the moment.

Either way, the content is unrewarding and that is the main problem. Sure its going to be cool to get the hamlet diggers hat and all that good stuff, but by the time we get even 2 of these promissary notes the entire party will more than likely have every decent item from the hamlet. It is kind of how like with the dungeons, at this point about 90% of the linkshells doing aurum vale and cutters cry have long gotten past the point where they need any non darklight drops from the dungeons meaning the market is being flooded with them and their value is so much less than they should be. The same exact thing is going to happen with the hamlet defense, everyone who wants the non seals are going to have them and theres going to be absolutely no reason to do the content outside of getting the seals.

The only possible thing I can think that they will do to counter act this feeling of worthless content at this point is by making the beastmen currency that is for some reason mysteriously dropping from the chests even though it has no use, have a use that is related to getting seals outside of the event.

And one final thing, to everyone saying we were complaining about this being the "hard to do" content we are looking for, this isn't hard to do, hamlet defense is a joke, the only thing that will make these things rare is the fact they have ridiculous requirements to get and the rng in this game is a piece of garbage.
