The real problem is not the "let's have trolls around."
The real problem is that this trolls will be without stamina. Without penalties, they'll have a sort of pathfinding that you don't have, they'll swim and run and swim and run like if they'll be robots and basically are like a giant deadly walking Error on the map.
We are used with custom clients but remember that standard client have a localized visual, No zoom, no x ray and before they could put ugly giant invincible beasts in this world they'll have to solve all this stuff that don't give a "difficulty" at the gamem, give just a "you can't do this because we dunno how to make it".
I love the Hunt (the real hunt in videogames with tracks, pathfinding of my chara, blood to follow, silence, dangerous, and then Attack!) And i like when i LOST 'cuz i wrong something. I often play games about hunt, fight or war, but usually those game give the win or the loss in you hand.
Usually in hh, if you lose, is 'cuz there is some weird bug, or lag, or your player is enough dump to stuck in something. I'll love a challenge, but not if the game is like it is now.
Afterall, after few weeks of "challenge", the trolls will be useless and easy to kill because we are forced to use exploit at every hunt, and then we'll have to ask for giant dragons.
I would bet the devs for more important things, before. Put a troll now, is like throw oil on a fire.
