I personally was unaware of any issues with the hunt (casual hunter) but I was hoping for more than fixing the weekly selector...

Yay hunts are staying the way the are?
Awesome I was afraid they'd make som silly change that would make it boring.
If the servers only would wake up though so I can go hunting!

Primary issue is the zergfest. During what we might call "peak hours" hundreds of players, all plugged into about a half-dozen full LS, will zerg like crazy across the world, fiercely claiming any mark they find and screaming to the heavens should any filthy peasant not in an LS dare to try and join in. The forums are packed with tales of mass blacklistings, malicious resetting of a mob leading to zero credit for the finder, and so forth.

... This is why I save hunting for off-peak hours. Much nicer when there's only a handful of parties, all actively roaming about and sharing information with each other. Sure there's a troll or two who'll do something like grabbing a mob when the finding party elected to <pos> shout and wait, or loners who go "no it's MINE and nobody should be allowed to even THINK me rude for making sure only my party can get seals from this one", but on the whole it's a far calmer experience.
