The Hunt is garbage and needs to be fixed

[Ardeth]

Hunts went from this cool, player driven thing to a Discord ping. That's my issue with Hunts. I know it's still player driven, but before you kinda had to know the people on your server and get into a Linkshell and there was effort on the player to Hunt. Now it's join Discord server mute everything but the ping you want and follow the ping. The social aspect of it has just evaporated. It's another example of cross world travel killing an aspect of a server's community.

It's definitely way more accessible now. I'll give it that. No longer do you have to try to get into the secret club, but at least to me, it felt better when it was Linkshells. It gave it purpose. Now, hunts are just low effort tome caps and gear upgrades.

I find myself participating way less than I did before. That's my TLDR.
