i'm perfectly fine with caves being team hunting areas today.
and i (sorry) really disagree with Divides complaint - the noob experience is still fast and fun. just skip the starter mc5 area, GR to your app, head for the nearest sewer L1, kill tiny rats with your fists for like 10 minutes, loot flesh, candy and soda to heal you, use it to hit some plants with your fists (and gain heaps of exp), sell loot, get a decent low-TL ranged weapon, head to outzone and kill dogs, mutants, hurlers, plants until you're ready to do cyclops, which are also roaming the industrial and outzone storages. then warbots and firemobs.
or run to MB at around xx/10 and rake in team exp. uh yes, the occasional boring aggressor captain grinding mission, which i'm always trying to avoid. because i'm logging into NC to have a fun time, not to get bored by grinding exp.
