Hunts, built in wait time.

[Redemption]

the result is still the same

I disagree, it does have the affect of removing the competitive aspect of hunting NMs but as far as having open world content I think it still gets the job done. Thats sortof like suggesting that quests are not open world content and are instanced because they only affect the person doing the quest. As someone who hates having everything instanced I personally would be completely fine with levequest style hunts.
