It's ok to like hunts ... but it's really just paying for a chat room with custom avatars.
That's... actually an interesting way to think of it. Well, I do like the gameplay elements (but it's all about finding the mob and getting your group there fast, not the mechanics of the mob), but the social aspect is a big part of it. But then, for an MMO, shouldn't it be?

It's really a shame the DF puts you with people you can't befriend.

But as with my OP... I like what they've done, and I hope we get more open world things to work together on.
