Hunts. /discuss for what they are.

[Colt47]

My 2 cents on Hunts:
[B]1)
2) Cause and effect- Hunts have effectively killed most other content.
-- a) statics run with statics for most content. puggers run with puggers for most content.
-- b) if you cannot be in a static then you must be a pugger. which means you must be doing
content other puggers are doing otherwise you sit and wait hours for people to even join you.
let alone beat it.....
-- c) if [see 1] has put you off of Hunts altogether, good luck finding puggers to run things with.
-- d) brand new content completely ignored because of effort/reward imbalance.
-- e) boredom. The End~

There is another side to the content argument as well. Part of the reason hunts are "killing off" that other content is because it's actually rather monotonous and boring in it's own right. The only reason people were doing it was to get geared up, not because it actually is engaging in a way people want to be engaged in (except for maybe the first few runs of it). When faced with two places selling the same bucket of paint, we go where the better deal is. That and hunts are one of the few "randomized" content types the game actually offers. Dungeons, primal-ex fights, etc, are all static and repetitious: No random layouts, no random boss or monster placement, and certainly no randomly allotted loot tables.
