Hunts weren't abandoned, they were appropriate for the number of people that were intended to challenge that content. Throughout 2.4, usually there were 4-16 people that would show up for A ranks as they were a decent source of soldiery and there was some ok stuff you could buy with seals if you were gearing up alts or new to the game. Tons of people would still show for S ranks. This was the amount of participation this content would support without becoming silly zergfest it is now. They should have left it alone or added some mild rewards to it.

What they've done is enticed about 50x as many people to participate in content than it supports. It devolves into general silliness and bickering. I don't see how that's good for the game by any measure.
