I’ve known about hunt trains for a long time, I have no idea why I didn’t start doing them sooner. Don’t be like me kids, don’t repeat my mistakes.

Hello! Crystal Hunt Conductor here!
Primal is acctually the odd one out when it comes to hunts, running basically exclusively out of the Coeurl. Every other server runs their trains out of the Faloop and Centurio hunt Discord Servers. Some Datacentres/servers also use some legacy Pre faloop discord servers for organising hunt trains, but will still relay to these major servers. Major servers in the ffxiv community often have links to other servers though. The Balance has an index of servers for practically everything, and has links to most major ffxiv servers. Theres also the FFXIVdirectory, whos entire job is to do just this.
Theres also another half to Hunts. S Ranks. Players will spend hours spawning these bosses, then relaying them to the playerbase for everyone to get.
Last time I did one was when maps still had 3 instances in Dawntrail. So it was jumping back and forth to get all bosses x3. Certainly engaging albeit sadly my pc already starting to lag behind. Good way to cap tomstones too.
Thought I prefer solo content more I definitely see the appeal of such nice and regular community events.
Don't come to primal when there's an S rank up in any area then lol. Hyperion has a notorious early puller who will literally pull as soon as he gets to the hunt.
I'm sure some of you guys know, but for those who don't…. His name is Johnny Football. I dunno how many S ranks he has pulled throughout this games life span since Hunts were introduced.
but that's literally all he does. early pull lol
Last week I was in a stormblood area gathering and this giant snake just popped up, followed by like 50 people. First hunt train I've seen since starting the game last year lol I was able to get a hit in too.
What you're looking for is more WORLD content like Eureka/Bozja, and it's confirmed to be coming later this expansion (hopefully next year at latest, but it could be later).
You only played 2 years, so I'm guessing you missed the active days of Bozja, and of course Eureka. I can speak more on Eureka; it was definitely similar vibes to hunt trains. Eureka and Bozja are big open world zones where players group together to kill mobs in a similar fashion to hunt trains and FATEs, with rewards like relic weapons, mounts, etc. You can still run it today, but there's probably not enough people there to make it feel like community world content. If you haven't touched it, it's worth checking out to at least IMAGINE what it would be like. Or just look at old videos of Eureka and Bozja when everyone was doing it.
