I somehow managed to kill an A rank in Azys la with 2 other people and chocobos without the zerg showing up. It was actually fun. If you let the "Gotta have i180 by Day 5 of expansion" people farm Alex, maybe hunts won't be so awful. And let's be honest, it is awful. Give them Centurio only, and they can do dungeons for law. This way people can do hunts as they were intended. You see a hunt, you get a few people together, you kill it without a swarm of botting locusts devouring it's flesh in 10 seconds flat.
