Let me speak out on this as the voice of the "little guy".
I'm a director of an agency that has been active for just over a week. We have 10 members, and aside from our resident "advisor". the other 9 detectives are all less than a month old. (we recruited that way intentionally to buid our agency "from the ground up").
Now, we have been active in hunts for only a few days, but the impression that I have gotten is that ORGANIZED, COMMITTED agencies solve hunts. We solved our first only 3-4 days in, and would hopefully have solved more if we weren't limited by resources to (realistically) single-city hunts in our home turf.
The argument here is for a change in the game mechanics that make certain agencies' "tactics" in hunt-solving more difficult. I feel that this would serve no purpose but to make things more difficult for agencies in general. Like I said before, it's not the "little tricks" that result in treasures. It's dedication, organization, and management within the agency.
I don't get bothered one bit if a "bigger" agency solves hunts we've been active in. One can assume that mechanics of the game are exploited in those situations by the larger agency to solve the hunt, but honestly, so be it. They found a STRATEGY that works. We have our own way of doing hunts, and it seems to work too.
You put 10 (or 12) detectives in a room and tell them to find a treasure, they'll find it... if they all WANT it bad enough.
