I hit level 60 and joined a hunt LS. The whole hunt thing seemed cool at first. But after trying it for 2 hours and only getting credit for 1 NM I feel like it is a waste. I upgraded 2 pieces of gear to i180 and with the daily reset of rank 1-3 I can get an i180 piece every several days.

I do not play the game 8-10 hours a day and so to spend 2-3 hours ( my typical playtime) doing these hunts where monsters get pulled before you get there, afking in town etc.. I feel it isn't justified.

Also I see people doing hunts in the old zones. What is the benefit of this? I am quite happy to be i168 atm and have started hating the game when I realized how much time I would invest if I wanted to be the top geared (+20 int 20 crit and 20 spell speed really doesn't make or break the game imo). What do you guys think?
