[quote='Jheusse',index.php?page=Thread&postID=11381 8#post113818]Simply put because of how many hunters there are out there, and more specifically how many BAD hunters there are out there.
[/quote]There is nothing unique to hunters being bad at understanding class mechanics and playing their class poorly. You can insert any other class name in there and it's still a true statement.
[quote='Jheusse',index.php?page=Thread&postID=11381 8#post113818]Hunter is an extremely solo friendly class and level lightning fast, but soloing on a hunter teaches you squat about being a good groupmate.[/quote]This is also true for almost every other class. Tanks don't have to worry about threat generation while solo, healing classes solo in a completely different manner than how they heal in instances. DPS classes like mages may use the same spells but don't have to worry about CC pull techniques or aggro to the same degree.
[quote='Jheusse',index.php?page=Thread&postID=11381 8#post113818]A regrettably large portion of the hunter population is flatly put terribad at their class, and the massive number of hunters means tons of the bad hunters. [/quote]I might concede this "raw numbers" point. But on a percentage basis, all classes are probably equally "terribad" in terms of (bad players of a class) / (total players of a class).

[quote='Jheusse',index.php?page=Thread&postID=11381 8#post113818]Between the classic cliche of the ADHD teenage player /needing on everything in sight, constantly feigning onto the healer or trying to tap race farm spots and the old cliche of the Ni Hao set, the hunter class has a rep.[/quote]The hunter class' reputation is probably more largely influenced by a series of inside jokes (e.g. [url='http://www.wowwiki.com/Hunter_loot']Hunter Loot[/url]) than anything else. While hunters were used by gold farmers at one point, it was somewhat scientifically shown ages ago that gold farmers actually utilized a wide variety of classes.

Personally I was scarred dealing with hunters while leveling my main, too many cases where a hunter would monopolize a quest mob spawn by placing a trap there, too much boorish behavior from them.

I saw one hunter lock down the Greench spawn for an entire evening, forcing anyone who wanted the spawn to group with him or never get the kill.
The class does not have the monopoly on boorish behavior. It sounds like you've had some bad experiences, but I don't think your very small number of bad experiences are enough to say that "Hunters R Bad" with any kind of significance.
