First, I am not a hunter. Second, I don't hate hunters. They make this game fun. It would be boring to me if all of the battles were big fort wars. I love the smaller skirmishes. They serve a vital role in the overall strategy of this game and require you to be ready for war at all times in the (gasp)
warzone.
If you really want to love hunters, become the friend of one...go hunting with one (or two

). There is nothing more fun in this game than watching a group of enemies unknowingly run straight through you while you are in stalker surroundings, then moments later run them down and kill them all after your areas have recharged.
Sometimes hunters kill me (the element of surprise), sometimes I kill them (barbarians hit hard

), and sometimes they get away (oh, I guess I should have dizzied him). Sounds balanced to me.
To me, all forms of evil are fair (and encouraged) in the warzone...
