    Hehe.. I get it.. challenge the community.. :P

    I'm rather tired of zerg swarm content (even before Hunts were released, they were just called FATEs then.. XD). Though I suppose I won't complain SE is making the content if someone else really enjoys the content and it doesn't cause SE to drastically slow or stop producing other contents.

    Actually, I wasn't being sarcastic. Some of those S ranks benefit from having a lot of people working together. Get a group of fishermen and you can pop some of those S ranks in their respective windows in a very short time. Also, I don't know if coordinated jumping parties actually work to get Safat to spawn, but I've seen plenty of those.

    They threw people a bone when they asked for notorious monsters and it worked out better than expected. They still have Coil Savage mode slated for release, so that should be plenty challenging enough. At the very least you should be happy that there is some content where social ramifications can be felt for doing something stupid outside of the current Coil iteration. Old school MMORPGs didn't turn people into raiders overnight. Content that exposes people on the same server to one another on a regular basis is a good start.

    I wasn't sure if you were or not, but I was serious that it was a challenge to the community, both server and forum lol. I just ran with your sentence because that is exactly how I read the last bit "challenge to the community [emotionally, drama generator]". :P

    /Personally/ I find hunts as poorly executed content that is not very fun, but very rewarding at the same time. However I understand opinions are opinions.. if you like it then you like it, I won't argue that. If I had to make a gripe to SE it wouldn't be every content needs to be designed with what I want in mind but rather that I wish there was another content generating secondary-BiS gear. I've had some suggestions like using dungeons, but really just something different then the drama zerg prone FATE like content would be awesome, I'm not a fan of that system.

    Entirely possible so I'm not out for hope but I'd also like to see a leve or some other kind of self contained yet world content for monsters (hunts using a riddle leve quest or similar system, monsters found are your monsters and your challenge, not the swarm's).
