Dirty host hunt deeds...done dirt cheap
Astro:
Wow! I never knew any of this was even happening, Flame ... probably because I'm not usually around for Host Hunts, sadly enough. :(
BUT, because this is about Host Hunts ... If I had to choose between VMK's way of "host hunt" events, or VFK's way of Host Hunt though ... I will choose, hands down, VFK for sure!! :thumb: WAY more fair in my opinion. Too many bad memories, and times of being burned and left out, by Hosts in VMK for me. I will ALWAYS say let the computer choose the winner, over a real live person for sure. ;) NO FAVORITES being played at all. AMEN! Dreams Month, Pin-Trade Events in VMK --blah need I say more, I seriously could go on forever here. Egad if I could have those HOURS of my life back for sure!
I have played my fair share of Host Hunts. If I'm not mistaken they usually go for 2 hours, give or take. No, it's not fun waiting around for a Host to come around for that long. And sometimes ... the Host NEVER even shows. I enjoy Ride-Through Host Events, or Teleporter Host Events. But, with those .. sometimes lag gets the best of me, and then again I have waited my turn for absolutely nothing, because I crash out - empty handed. So, I can see pros and cons of ALL Host Events. I wish there was a happy medium.
I will also say that I absolutely hated Reverse-Host Hunts. When the Host would visit Guest Rooms (players rooms) and not Public Rooms. Not very fun at all to be booted from player rooms, when everyone just wanted a chance to play the event. Hosts would only visit rooms on the Most Popular Room List, so of course players are left with no choice but to visit some of those rooms -- only to be greeted with a Boot! :uhuh2:
I've learned that Host items are not meant to be an easy gain, sad but true. If I could change anything about them, I would say leave the prize for the entire month at least. Not only will there be more in circulation to be traded for, but a better chance of maybe at least winning one. :)

I don't bother with the host events. I would love to win the prizes but I'm not willing to just wait and hope they show up. I sure wish they would come up with other ways to win.

If find host hunts to boring and not worth the effort. My biggest pet peeve though is the lacking of planning insight. Having a host hunt on a Sunday afternoon when people are trying to do the quest and get the hunt they put up at 11:00pm est. the night before.
Nothing like having to close down so many windows to get to the next area or quest question. One day I counted no lie 45 windows I had to close while I was taking my characters through the hunt.
I put a character at a spot so another character can jump to them. I was beyond annoyed and sent a report. Like do you think this is the best time to do this.
And where is Fin and Harmony have not seen them in months. I guess they are long gone.
What happened to host ride events or teleporter game. These hunt are just a time filler to make it look likethe hosts are doing something.
How about a meet and greet. Like visit a host for five minutes and then go through teleporter to get a prize.
Maybe the host do not feel they can build a good ride does not matter just to do something different.
I think these hunts every other day is way to much too. Because if you miss a piece you can not finish the picture wthout trading. That is way to much pressure for kids. When they did something like yesterday that have the farthest points to go to with nothing close that is just mean. I do not enjoy it has much as when they are closer by and you can figure out a pattern of putting a clone in a spot to make it easier. That is fun the challenge, Not flying here and there.
Ok off my soap box :
There you have it :)

Wow. I can't believe people are doing those types of things during hunts. Well of course I believe you Flame lol, but it is upsetting to think people are being that deceiptful over virtual items. Sigh, didn't we all learn something from the closing of our other Kingdom?
I agree with all the posts above. I am grateful this is NoBS and we can comfortably share these types of things. I also don't like these hunts. I have "won" some so I am not complaing that I never win and it is unfair, but still I much, much rather have a lot more people win the so called exclusive prizes through the porter type games. The game should be about less rare collecting and more social fun IMO. I admit I do have a personal goal of trying to have 1 of each item in game but I really am okay with the fact that I don't nor probably ever will. It is sad to sign in and not see people hanging out, socializing, and building much these days. Even the Space Pirate lobby seems to be empty whenever I pop my little self in there.
I also feel, with no proof just feelings, that some of our original cast and crew are no longer a part of VFK. It just seems different.
~Dream (who is not bashing VFK- I do enjoy it, but it saddens (?) me that it could be so much more)
