A massively.com write up on why hunts are ruining this game

[Darki]

Is there any difference between a pop time and a npc that cannot inform you of success or ensure your reward against the horde?

There is a cool down timer but once the cool down is over, the mark won't pop until a player or players in the area do something first. As far as ensuring a reward, frankly I don't want it that way. I like a system that rewards players doing at least an elementary school level amount of research.
