I agree with you and my advice is...dont do it ...if you really want a peace of mind...just dont do them, in end what does it matter a pixeled mark? a better pixeled gear after some times? yes sure but those new gears arent worth all the aggravations that come with it.

Truley if behaviour rules were really put into effect at all levels, probably there would be far less problems then we see, until then though, I suggest to all like you (which I am aslo part) NOT to partake in these hunts..just do something else. In theory you should be able to do them in an enjoyable way, but practice shows is far from being the case, so sit back and wait for better times or do somethign else.

Just me though

PS might be elite hunts ?
