It's not just on here, but in-game too.

More than once i have had players standing near me in-game calling hunters cowards, lame, running all the time and using camping tactics.

Like, er, i am a hunter and i am right beside you while you call me!!

How can saving yourself when you have little health left be cowardice? If you have the ability to save yourself just before you die, you would be a fool not to!

And i assure you , not all hunters camp saves.

When will people get over the fact that hunters can keep themselves alive better than any other class, and just get on with playing their own class?

I will play my hunter less because people keep making their feelings clear.

ATM I even feel like deleting him.

But then my other chars will still have to play with the whingers in my realm and continue to hear their whining. FFS i don't go into the game to listen to that!!!!!

So playing for another realm is also tempting coz then i'd have the satisfaction of killing the whingers - WITH MY NEW HUNTER!!

I have to honestly say, I always whine about them, but for the fact that I am talking about other realms. I have no actual facts that you were and when I sometimes do you do not. The thing is, its kinda frustrating... yep.

Anyway, I apologize if I had any whine about it....especially within your surroundings.

I also am quite fed up and irritated (same as Wudy). Hearing phrases like "Hunters are all cowards" from my own realm-mates makes me quite sick. I guarantee if you take a look (or begin to look) you'll find that the guy who is usually there to bail you out of a bind is..........guess what.........a hunter.

ALSIUS TAKE A LOOK:
====================
For those of you in Alsius take a look - and think back of how many times the good hunters of Alsius have been there to bail you out of trouble.....yet they are called cowards by their own real mates.

I'VE JUST BEEN KILLED BY A HUNTER:
====================
Now, if you find yourself getting killed by a hunter frequently - ask yourself how you got into that situation in the first place. You either:

1. Think your Mr. T and can be out leveling (or hunting) all by your lonesome in the wz and not be harmed.

2. Were singled out in a group by a hunter and died because your buddies were too busy "chatting about who knows what".

3. Fell for the "ohhh, I'm a scared hunter" routine and you chased after him and left your buddies behind. When I get people to do this (and it happens ALOT) it's an easy kill. Their minds are already set and they truly aren't ready for a fight - just expect and easy kill.

4. You were afk in the WZ (don't get mad - next time log out).

DON'T LEAVE THE GROUP:
====================
Hunters are hard to kill but they are easily dealt with. Kill the pet - most hunters won't hang around. And for goodness sakes - don't chase alone and don't leave the group chasing. It's a trap....trust me....and one I do very well.

HUNTERS ARE COWARDS AND HAVE NO TACTICS:
==================================
This is the one that kicks me in the nutz every time I hear it. In my opinion, hunters are the champions of tactics - otherwise people wouldn't be bitching about them. They don't have tactics, why....cause they won't stand still for you to hit? 'Cause they don't go charging into enemy lines. Next time you want to see someone who fights well - watch a hunter. Hunters are made for evasion and that is what they do best.

CONCLUSION:
====================
I'm pissed at Alsius for their remarks in some general chats regarding hunters. When the phrase "All hunters are cowards" is coined in open chat....guess what - Alsius has hunters too. I'm not going to stop playing my hunter, and I'm not gonna stop bailing your butts out of hot-water. But when you find yourself staring up at the sky after being walked on by a hunter - try to think about what you did to put yourself into that position.

Solarus,

I agree with just about everything you said, except that statement. Hunters are no better or worse at tactics than any other class. They are characters controlled by humans, and some humans will learn good tactics, while others will not, regardless of class.

A couple days ago, about 5 of us were chasing a single enemy warlock. He ran through a river... we thought he was going to drown. Two of us followed. We all exited on other side, badly wounded from water. He hid behind a tree, then Terrored the two of us that followed, killing us both, then escaping. Kudos to his tactics. Great tactics from a warlock, just like I see from many others from all the classes.

I hate those hunters who not even say hello but steal your xp.

I'm starting to fight with mob and then suddenly a hunter arrives and starts hitting it with range weapon. That's attract the mob and starting to rush to the feet of the hunter like a good puppy and I have to run too. When I reach the mob I cannot hit it cos the pet of the hunter is in the way. In the end I get very low xp or none. They just appear and they steal every mob and every xp in the territory. They do a lot of damage from range so if you want to party with them and still get some xp, you have to run a lot.
