I could care less about the drama. What I care about is people thinking they deserve things they don't work for and then complain about it. What I care about is hunts overwhelming other content to the point of increasing duty finder times by a huge margin. Making hunts more rare would make people hunt less, because they simply couldn't farm them. Without the farming aspect, most players will just find another type of content they can grind off.
This all brings me to my next point: HP Scaling is NOT good unless it's coupled with increased spawn times/spawn windows, then yes, HP scaling is a good option. But with the current spawning times, HP scaling would do this:
More HP > more time taken to kill > less time inbetween hunts > hunts would become more of a grind and even less of a hunt, just jumping from one zone to another > more hardcores would join the hunt because it's a gear grinding content > More HP.
