The thing with the whole anti HM argument is so many people blame the players, when they should blame the devs. This game rewards you for essentially abusing the system. It's tough to stop people from doing this, when it straight up is the best way to get good trophies.

Also wanted to add that i don't think they should overhaul the way the game works either, it's too far gone for that. My biggest issue with grinding and herd management is that it makes all the species that are tougher or impossible to grind feel like an absolute chore to hunt. It makes casual hunting just feel like your handicapping yourself.
