If I what if I already have a landmark, why would I want 10 of them?<BR/><BR/>As for the hunt thing, I agree in some ways but not in others. The hunt has to be doable. I completely understand that the hunt isn't meant to be easy, but there's a fine line between challenging and frustrating. You risk alienating existing customers and losing potential ones by making the hunt too hard. That's bad business sense any way you look at it. <BR/><BR/>The best hunts I've ever participated in had a storyline based quest, like Sanu's Pip's Quest and all of Bare Rose's hunts. It involves a bit of thinking, and a bit of looking around. Surprise surprise, it's stores I've bought from too. The worst hunts have a huge area, tiny items, no clues, move the items around, and a short time to do the hunt in. There was one over Christmas that I tried two whole days to do and couldn't.<BR/><BR/>Now every time they advertise a new hunt I don't bother going because I know that I can't do it by myself. =\Dunnehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00239762010556605520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7365865881288444233.post-91977035757378433522009-02-22T22:47:00.000-08:002009-02-22T22:47:00.000-08:00I'm perfectly okay with store owners moving hunt i...I'm perfectly okay with store owners moving hunt items. I think it keeps the fun in it, so many people expect hunts to be handed to them without any effort, and it's meant to be a "hunt" for a reason, so that I have to disagree with. In the case of stores that remove their items in grid wides hunts, and post bitchy, rude NC's to the hunters, who had nothing to do with why the item was removed, huge fail.Prudencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09897412284299388866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7365865881288444233.post-27218242590651115092009-02-22T21:50:00.000-08:002009-02-22T21:50:00.000-08:00Going off Shayariel's comment, I'm also less incli...Going off Shayariel's comment, I'm also less inclined to shop at a store that cancels hunts or moves hunt items because a few people use coordinates or what have you. <BR/><BR/>Second Life: serious business.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7365865881288444233.post-5612857073975221382009-02-22T20:17:00.000-08:002009-02-22T20:17:00.000-08:00There was one store I went to the other day that g...There was one store I went to the other day that gave out an LM, two NCs, and a group invite upon landing. Also, if you stood at the landing too long it sent them again. Unfortunately for me it was very, very laggy and I couldn't move or tp out. I will NEVER shop there again.

I hate to be invited to groups i am not interested in. I prefer to take a LM myself when i have decided the shop is worth to be visited again. <BR/>@ Anonymous: We all know shops need promotion and traffic. I just realized that some shop owners only participate on hunts to get traffic. They hid their gifts so hard that people have to stay extra long. And they act up when hunters are helping each other by hiding the gift some more or they even threaten hunters to ban them from the shop. Dear Shop owners do you really think people will promote your business when you act like as***ho**???? THANKS again for your words, Prudence.

To me, it feels like a sneaky way of promoting a store.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
