1) 'Bigger drop requirements' is a vague phrasing. If the 2-week hunt's drop requirements are capped at 80k and the 3-week one is capped at 100k, then that's 80k in the first 2 weeks (40k per week) and rhen only 20k in the third week. If we had 2 back-to-back hunts, in the regular 4 week period with caps at 80k, then that's still 40k per week, with no break. Hunts, already, have "high drop requirements" per day they run. The length of the hunt doesn't necessarily influence that... And the devs look at the ratio, not just the hunt length to put pressure on players who care about drop requirements. 2) Players typically play all the time, anyway. But they aren't forced to. If you take a breather only once your target is reached, you may get burnt out in a 3-week hunt, but if you take your break at the 2-week mark anyway, there is still another week for you to come back and keep going. 3) This is based on that ratio of drops per day needed. Increased time, actually, in theory, if the drops remained the same, would mean regular parties might start to catch up to cats which are needed to speed up the drop collection rate in an impossibly-short hunt. This would fix that and lead to less money being spent. The devs may overcorrect for this which could be a problem but they could increase the drop requirement at any time. If you want less ugly avatars, and the devs to have more time to design and make them look good, then by them having longer hunts, they can do that. If you want beautiful avatars every hunt, a fortnight rotation may not be good. If you want to give them time to experiment and try new exciting things, they need more time to consider how they might break from tradition, be critical, discuss, negotiate, and plan something new for us... All of that takes extra time which they may not have if they have to make a hunt every 2 weeks. If they had a month, they could probably make something spectacular, and they probably will have something good and fresh after this 3 week hunt since they have an extra week to breathe and think.
Also WTF idk when they upped the top tier of main story from 80k to 110k but this 3-week one has a cap of 119k which is in line with the workload we used to have before they fucked you guys over with that increase to drop requirements. This extra week only introduces 10k drops. You can breathe! This is how they give you a breath! Why would you complain about needing to collect 10k drops in a week? They were having us collect 55k per week.. 110k in 2 weeks! Every 2 weeks with no breaks! The 2-week hunts back in 2017 stopped at 60k and were already impossible to do without cc. In 2017 we were just getting 30k per week and cc clubs were a problem. This is insane in the membrane. You should cling to 55k but ur complaining about an 'increase' to 40k, the old norm.
Meaning 1 week hunts have less drops then 2 week hunts. The drops needed are spread out relitive to gow long it is. Ata aint gonna leave the drops the same as a 2 week hunt for a 3 week hunt. Thr high end rewards are ment to be for the people that spend money alot
This 3 week hunt is actul better. Im super close to tier 6 which i have never made it to ever before. And considering im only generally hitting in 3-4 parties a day it goes to show how much easier it is
Yes I know how it goes, been here almost 3 years I think? I no longer know time. 💀 Sometimes I think ATA goes to the extra limit but it is what is.
We havnt had a 3 week hunt in a long time. Theres nothing wrong with it. And thats coming from me who hates change
