Are Hunts Ruining Final Fantasy XIV?

[TeaTimeBear]

I'm starting to get worried. My FC, which was previously a nearly constant source of conversation and impromptu collaborative events, has gone dead silent since 2.3 hit. The reason is hunts. That's all people are focused on right now.

I know how you feel. I've been trying to get Striking Tree parties but everyone is focused on hunts mostly.
