the hunts made me hate this community now

[WinterSolstice]

I agree there are downsides, but as with most things, how you view it is up to you. I acknowledge that there are certainly a lot of unsavory characters that try their damnedest to troll and be childish/selfish, however there are plenty more people who simply what to approach it in a more social and casual light.

I had a hunting party a couple days ago, and we all were completely aware (as everyone should be) that we wouldn't be able to get full credit for every single mark that came up. Rather than getting upset and raging about people not waiting (because that's selfish), we simply went along our way and tried to find the next A rank who's window was open. During all this, we were talking about our interests, other games, and just being social. This experience has been consistent with me over the past week, when I started hunting, and I have made well over a dozen good friends.

If you insist on focusing on the bad people in any situation (hunts, coil, pvp), then of course you're going to dislike the community more and more. This applies to real life as well. It's a foregone conclusion that there will always be people that "ruin" experiences and fun for others, however you can combat that by not letting it get to you. Focus on the good people you meet and just have a good time doing it, and you might understand the point of this game. Have fun.

I also missed 2 S ranks in one of my low level roulette yesterday because I don't want these new players to take forever waiting for another tank.

I sincerely respect you for this, and it's how everyone should act in that situation. It's good to know there are lots of people who understand that caring for others is much better than caring for themselves.
