I... actually really like hunts

[Fyce]

I'm not saying hunts are perfect by any means... but to contradict what you say, I have seen a number of posts saying "remove hunts from the game" or something to the effect like it was a terrible idea in the first place.

These people are either saying it in a way meaning "Remove them... so you can fix them and add them again later", or they are just idiots.

So, in short terms, yes, Hunts are very good as a concept, but they are currently completly unbalanced compared to other content, and the "Zerg Horde Rush effect" is clearly not what was intended.
And I think most people agree: once fixed, this will be great.
