I think your narrative is far skewed. People didnt want hunters for VoG because plainly put, hunters in Hard Mode were useless. Their only value in VoG at all was golden gun on oracles, which in hard mode didn't even do enough damage. Then when CE came out, hunters dicks got all hard thinking they were now master race, because they were " selected " as the best swordbearer. Their egotistical dreams were crushed when every other class began using the sword not only sucessfully, but without the need of invisibility. Hunters are for PvP.
