Because of Hunts~~

[SeleneVenizelos]

Hunts are new and shiny, all that you listed isn't. It happens every time something new is added. The only difference here is more people can do hunts because it doesn't require unlocking anything or being good at them. Have you thought of making your own PF for things, if you're not already? You might be, I don't know. Majority of people who complain the game is dead for X reason usually sit around waiting for PFs to join, so just trying to nip that one in the bud early.

Me and a friend tried to set up a pf for turn 7 last night. wound up getting 2 more people, then getting nothing for an hour, and it falling apart, obviously.

The hunts hurt a certain group of people especially. Those that have progressed into second coil without reliable statics. I realize that summer has alot to do with it (I'm a postal worker by trade, and there seems to be a huge amount of people out of town the past 2 weeks) Those who couldn't pass turn 5/titan went into hunts and are not coming out till they got everything they can, and hope the gear will carry the kills. The raiders already done with turn 9 do hunts to fill out offspecs and get their weekly coil done in about 1-2 hours. Being in between that, and disliking the gameplay of the hunts as much as I do, well, puts me in a SOL position.

And like kaskel said, If the devs haven't done anything yet to help the situation, they're not going to. At the moment I'm considering leaving until 2.4 comes out, so the hunts will be ignored content.
