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....
