Enjoyed reading this post specially the part about the voice chat haha,
about the beast hunt: it is dangerous indeed, and sometimes those beasts have some on death effects that's why I keep my distance for a while even after killing them, also they have some aura buffs that affect nearby monsters, in the other hand bestiary crafting is really good and sometimes people gets really expensive items out of it.
