And you blame SE for implementing Hunts?

Reduce the reward so although beneficial, it's not the main focus. Keep people doing raids and dungeons.

The amusing thing is a lot of people hated the fact that dungeons and raids (Really, anything instanced) was so much of the main focus that the open world was simply a lobby, akin to my League of Legends client when I'm not on the Rift.

I still do. Outside of a hot-joinable game like the original PSO that does the concept right, I hate instances, so anything that shifts the game away from a focus on those is welcome. Even if the hunts have... issues...
Plus, I really loathe the idea of trying to herd people into a particular type of gameplay. Trying to push me into content I dislike is only going to push me away from the game entirely. :-/
