Eh, I'm not sure if I'd say Hunter x Hunter felt like filler. The arcs, while not really interconnected, did all serve a purpose. In all honesty, if you changed out characters for every different arc so it wasn't Gon and Killua as the protags, It'd be really JoJo like. New characters, new setting, new story. But, they made Killua and Gon a constant, and each different arc really expanded on and gave more to their characters and the world. Which isn't really a bad thing, because you can really see how these two grow over the course of the series. The only arc that really felt like filler to me was the Killua's Family arc in the early parts. But it did serve a purpose in introducing Killua's family and explaining why he is the way he is.

Funny enough, the actual two filler episodes about The Spiders kicking Chimera Ant ass are two of the best in the series.

But, all in all, I guess it really does come down to preferences. I like and love how it's a big world, and each individual arc goes all in and focuses on something different and unrelated from the last. It allows them to really show the world they built and do different things, while tying everything up at the end of the arc so they can move on to the next without worrying about carrying on old plot points. It's one of the many reasons I consider JoJo to be the greatest anime/manga of all time.
