Fix Hamlet Please?

[Miste]

Hoping for a response from one of the devs on this...but yeah.

I know servers are going down in a month, but this hamlet issue is quite irritating. The points needed to get to Rank 2 Hamlet was fine before, but on my server anyway, Hamlets are now staying at Rank 1 way too often. It's kinda silly that if you want to do a worthwhile Hamlet run (which is pretty much Rank 2 only, unless you have a top 3 provisioner who needs seals) you have to hope the rest of your server is in the mood for it, or you have to spend an obscene amount of gil/time to get 1-2 mil points on your own.

So, can you guys please fix this? I realize there is not much time left, but all you need to do is lower the points needed to advance the Rank of the Hamlet (I assume that would not be hard to do? Feel free to correct me if I am wrong). Then we can still do worthwhile Hamlet runs even if only 10% of the server population was interested.

Thanks for your time!

beat me, but that sounds so selfish

If that is what you want to think, go ahead. Actually asking since I am trying to help people in my LS get seals, but when I go to provision the Hamlet never goes to Rank 2.

"Fixing" this should come after 2.0.

Otherwise it's a slap in the face to anyone who did actually spend millions on getting Hamlets to rank 2.

No one spent millions getting Hamlet to just go to Rank 2. They spent millions to get in top spot. That's different. If #1 spot was still in demand people would still have to spend millions to fight over the spot. It changing to Rank 2 sooner than before makes no difference.

still make no different: you werent there when this happen

Uh what? Our LS has thrown up millions of points multiple times "when this happen." What she is saying is that even when there is a top spot contributing a million points it barely doesn't make the cutoff and stays rank 1 and the bottom of the board is like 5k instead of 50k during "when this happen."

Ok i am disagreeing with you there I am on your server and have been farming my ass off to get hamlet to rank 2. That does put me in top 3 every time and lately i have been 1'st or 2nd. If you want to do a hamlet im working at getting golden bazaar to rank two for Tuseday. You could help by farming turn-in items like i am having to do, or by donating Resin to me i have enough mats to get it to rank 2 again if i had the resin.

Is it hard to get it to rank 2? Yes
Reason why? No one wants to put forth the effort to do so.

I had to dump 1.8 mil points of mats for it to hit rank 2 at Hyrstmill then had to shout in ul'dua for people to run with, while others went with there ls to benefit from my work. 2nd was also in my group and he put up 500k to get it up to rank 2.

Edit: Being 1'st sucks all I get are seals unless something drops for the group. So after my 3rd run im normally getting crap when people who are 2nd, 3rd get coins and 4-20 get gear so that's the problem i see the top 3 should get a better reward then just seals I don't need 7/3 seals that's just stupid.

1.8 Mill points for hamlet would have been about 35Mil just an FYI

and how is that any different than i have had many times i'd be 3.5-5mil turn ins to even make the top 3? that, by itself, would have made the hamlet a tier 2 all by itself.

if you are worried about not getting a secondary seal drop you can always distribute the points among a few ls members that will be running with you so they could make other positions in the hamlet. if you are already over the amount of seals needed for a hamlet YOU ARE IGNORANT for turning in enough to take the top spot. give those items to someone else to get top spot that needs seals and just keep enough to get a top 2-20 position so you can get gear.

example: you have 2 mil worth of items to turn in to make a hamlet a rank 2 you can do multiple things.
1. turn them in all yourself and get only seals
2. give some to the items to an ls mate so they can get the seals and you turn in enough to get #20.
3. give enough away that you still make top 3 for currency and have a ls mate turn in the rest.
4. split that 2 mil so 3 ls mates get #1, #2, #3 and you make top 20.

if you are going to turn in that much there's multiple ways to turn in and help yourself and your ls get what they are after.

I would get ready for more than one of these "slaps in the face" come 2.0 time regardless. Something tells me there will be many of them for the 1.0 people moving into 2.0. I mean come on, its SE here, we all know its coming somehow.
