Veteran Hunter and Legendary Hunter

I can confirm that as long as u stay connected the quest does not end. Currently at 42k kills and 100+ hours connected. A friend was at 5k kills and dcd but immediately returned and did not lose kill count. I take an ss frequently so that when i do finally lose my kill count nexon will receive an angry letter that will get 0 results but will make me fell better then doing nothing at least.
