remove the limits on rare hunts to stop the haters

Face it, it takes minutes to get through new event content then it is back to drudgery with no rewards (hunter bucks quickly become worthless once you finish the last region.) By removing the rare hunt limit there would be replay value to earn plat coins and keep people excited. Replaying the same contact hunts ad nauseum gets the natives restless and then people get annoyed when 10 minutes of new event content is added, the glu flame threads start, then the gluadmin censors try to shut it down but the damage is done whether they censor it or not because they are only airing the sentiment of what others already feel. It would take nothing to remove the rare hunt limits but would be a huge boost for player excitement.

If Glu continues to modify the trophy hunts to make them more challenging I would love to play them again with or without the reward.
That's a good point and if Glu's advertising income is based on the perceived popularity based on the amount of downloads only, that would make sense that they structure the game around new players that don't play as frequently. However you're probably right that the majority doesn't care to purchase gold or watch advertisements. As an advertiser it wouldn't make any difference if DH was downloaded a billion times if players weren't clicking on the advertisement page/individual offers. The counterpoint to that is advertisers are not interested in a 100 players watching their advertisements a billion times.
However, one of the ideas here (i think it was david's), got me thinking...
They used to have the rare hunts pop up randomly in each region after a few hunts in the standard region, If they brought that back and included it with club hunts, It would add a little extra surprise hunt to add a little more change in the game, instead of the same animals in club hunts and about 10 contract hunts in each region that I basically have memorized. This way every 10 hunts we get a random hunt (one of maybe 100 options) and we can kill turkeys, zombies, things we dont usually see, and have never seen in a club hunt where we get to rack up as many kills as possible, with a good reward, maybe more bucks like before, or maybe 1 gold. I would say eagles, but like I said they purposely gave us the number of eagles they did, or at least maybe lol
Choice Dude on Board
in the past i think we could clearly record that glu listens to us users and implemented inputs from the forum; the forum and constructive criticism are extremely valuable in my opinion. still there's one thing i'd like to say from an economical standpoint:
i'm still amazed how many out here (not particularly in this thread but in general) are moaning and whining 'gimme this, gimme that' when it seems absolutely clear that glu is an exchange listed company whose only goal is to earn money. (no doubt some of the developers might even shoot some deer just for fun in their spare time but this isn't the point.) so the deal is really easy to understand: we the customer get entertainment in return for... - what do you think? - ... right, money!
when was the last time your favorite gas station guy gave you a half a tank for free? when the store manager at wal-mart looked at your bag and went 'yeah, it's ok, just keep it, we don't take any money from you today'...?
so all i'm trying to say is, when glu tries to sell us weapons we'll never use again (or anything else where gold / real cash is needed) that is distinctively part of their business. think, even a glu developer probably has a family to feed, a rent to pay, he maybe even likes to go out for a drink once in a while...
let me propose everybody out here DEMANDING and weeping 'i want this and that for free' please state the amount she or he donated (GIVING something) to glu.
no, i'm not in any way affiliated with the company and don't own any of their stock.
bottom line: i like the game, the graphics, the sound, the concept. if you do too just be grateful for what we get for free or you might even be willing to spend a few bucks. if you don't like the game as provided then simply uninstall it from your device.
...as DavidT so eloquently put it: the real reward is playing the game!
happy hunting!
