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.

Because of the above, I haven't even tried it out. I'll just wait until SE makes further adjustments. I'm enjoying the new dungeons well enough, anyway.

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

Don't be against the content, its not the issue.
It's the people.

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

If you in a good linkshell and fc that is constantly getting NM, of coursed you enjoying it. For less unfortunately people it a lot of stress and will get left out. Often times I find an NM, ask for invite, but instead bunch of Zerg people come and I get 5 Seals.

Then you have a problem where a certeins Linkshell and FC dominant and monopoly the area where when you come to an NM it died in seconds. Words get thrown out, name calling, dead threat, blacklist, etc. I don't see what so fun about this at all.

It differs server to server, timezone-timezone. Jenova is actually a really polite server with these hunts (until US afterwork hours lol, I'm on GMT mornings/early afternoon). Most will wait for people to arrive, call out in all linkshells, in party chats, FC chats, and we ensure everyone is doing the same. We give everyone lots of notice about the mob, give everyone time to get there (even if in another zone entirely to start with). Someone rush pulls the mob, we let them die, reset it, ask them to wait for people arriving, and raise said dead person.

Put into that the awesome people you meet along the way, the great ideas for clothing / glamors you may not have considered etc, and you've got a pretty good community going on.

As far as effort v reward ratio. Not too sure on this front. I appreciate having a good way to farm soldiery/myth/sands/oils. But it does break my heart a little to think of how much time i put in dungeons before hunt was implemented to get i90+.

And duty roulette? Pfft, what's that. Now i'm all for helping people with their duties, if i get a tell, or a friend asks etc. But queue into a dungeon, which can take ~40 mins, with complete strangers, who may or may not be total asshats, for a minimal reward of 100 myth. Or, go do hunts for an hour, cap myth, cap soldiery, buy sands or buy a complete i90 set for another class. It just makes sense.

Not that I'm happy about it entirely though. New/levelling players must be suffering. But, it's just not worth my time to do the roulettes now.
