Decided to try the hunts feature during the free week, grabbed all my marks, ran to the weekly hunt area, walked around the area...then I realized, I just have to wait for it to spawn and hope I get there for the kill.

There's no such "hunt" involved. I just...hope I'm in the area when the enemy spawns?

Even some of the basic hunts is "be in this area when this FATE starts" and hope I get in on the kill in time, or whatever.

Really? This is the hunting feature? I mean, I suppose if you enjoyed NM camping in FFXI than you may enjoy hunts but...really? Am I missing something? There's no hunting involved it's just sit and wait, or run around until it spawns. Either way, hope I get lucky and get in on the kill as it spawns. I don't get it. The rewards are so damn good that it feels like this is what I should be doing anyways.
