I... actually really like hunts

Seeing the absolute crucifixion, harassment and mass blacklisting of anyone who pulls a mark "without hive mind consent" I am very, very much against this content. It's fostered disgusting behavior between players and it's beyond appalling.

Glad you like watching people get harassed.

Don't be against the content, its not the issue.
It's the people.
What do you care if morons blacklist you?

I'm actually enjoying Hunts when a majority of the server does them in an organized manner. Here on Excalibur they're fairly organized and enjoyable. Lots of communication and honestly I've seen little to no drama (only slight agitation for people not in communication, but honestly I notice more drama from the people who refuse to communicate)

Is it REALLY the content's fault that some people act like trash? It's not like we weren't told a dozen times how elite marks were intended to be fought. I like the existence of hunts; I don't like how they've been received. If I happen upon a b rank, I call my girlfriend or her brother and claim. Maybe I'm considered as asshole for this, but I tried the other way and when 3 dozen folks showed up, I told myself never again. I like the hunts, and honestly, I think less demand (or structured rewards) would do them a world of good.

I've been told that because I have a full time job and a girlfriend, I wouldn't be useful in a hunting ls.

I'm not sure if I was being trolled, but would I seriously have to change my life by quitting my job, dumping my girlfriend (neither I would do) just to hunt.

Or is this an activity I can enjoy during my free time?

I like the hunts as well, you can jump in and out when you need/want.

Been working with FC as well and have been awesome.

Just a few tips:

- Get like 3-5 LS that does hunts, you will get lot of positions of mobs and friends to hunts with.
- When you hunt, just hunt. Don't do something else (like checking AH, mules, questing) since you will miss the mark.
- Always hunt in full party. Easy to get credit.
- Make macros to inform your LSs and FC about any Mark found, share the info.
- Wait like 3 minutes before pulling.

Follow those easy instruction and enjoy.

happy hunting

Maybe those people that get 2-3 sands per week are that hardcore but it's definitely not a requirement (don't join an LS that claims it is). I do sessions that could last anywhere from 1-3 hours. I skip days so I can work on other progression. I still have fun with those I play with and I've still been the first to spot a few and let the LS know.

I think an LS is to hunts as an FC is to the rest of the game. Not a requirement but having great people to play with only makes the game that much more fun.

I think your strawman would wear this necktie I bought very nicely.

Red Herrings is quite the popular snack on these forums. Can't blame 'em though, smoked fish is tasty.

Maybe it's just my server, but I love hunts; I've not felt this much a part of something in a long time. I was getting lonely in this game (no static) and even considered transferring, but not anymore. The server wide Teamspeak hundreds of us coordinate on is always pleasant and inclusive (anyone being a douche to randoms is chided). I've had a good time with most of the people in my hunt parties. I don't think I'd enjoy these without such a large community effort. This is the first time I haven't thought this community was completely full of awful people.

Even Galleon/Oondasta in WoW never felt this involved or coordinated.

Warm fuzzies aside, hunts are still gamebreaking and should never have been given top raid gear. I'm of the mindset only raiding should give the best gear. However, with no static, no one in PF, and being this late into the raid tier, I will continue to participate in hunts...if you can't beat 'em....

I like hunts too. It's much more fun than spamming Fates.

Just as with everything else, a vocal minority complains constantly. The silent majority are out there having fun.
