Officials mixpacking doesn't bother me, but...

This topic has probably been done to death, but here's my contribution. I personally don't really care much about the mix packs and megapacks, although megapacks are annoying, they're easy enough to avoid IME. My issue with officials is how easy it is to switch and waystone dead dinosaurs back. I'm really tired of fighting a small group with my small group of mid tiers, having a really nice fight and felling a dinosaur or two, and all of a sudden the dinosaurs we've killed are back before the flight's even over, or they've switched to their titans to maul us. Or when you have a successful hunt and whoever got killed comes back as the perfect dinosaur to counter and kill you.

And I'm not talking about the hotspots, I avoid those like the plague unless I'm playing rhamp. I usually come across this in "warm spots" like SF, BQL, GH, etc.

I'm just tired of fights that could have been nice, enjoyable fights turn into hours-long affairs that only end when one party is sick of fighting the same guys, but could go on indefinitely. Am I the only one who finds it easy enough to just take the L when I lose? A fair fight lost is almost as satisfying as a fair fight won. And no, I'm not the kind of loser who says shit like "EZZZ L CONCS SF," I understand if people come back to maul me if I said shit like that lol. I usually just say something like "gg concs!" if I say anything at all.

Anyway, all this to say that I'm wanting to look into trying out community servers. I'm thinking about NatHist, but it intimidates me a bit, ngl. Does anyone have suggestions? Also considering trying the solo official servers, but I do most enjoy the game while playing with a couple friends on mid tier carnis.
