    Hunt credit tiers should not exist

    Currently, the amount of damage dealt to an A or S rank hunt determines how much they're rewarded. As a result, people are frantic to deal as much damage as possible as soon as a hunt is pulled. This should be changed so that, as long as you participate in a hunt at all, you get fully rewarded.

    You can't stop people from pulling hunts early, but you can remove the incentive for people to follow up on early pulls. If people don't have to worry about not getting full credit, they won't burn down the hunt at the absurd pace that they do now.

    Or simply make the A and S-Rank Hunt's HP Scale with the number (and level! especially for lv50 hunts) of surrounding people.

    They should give reward only for the 8 players (A-Rank) or 24 Players (S-Rank) hitting it first.
    Then all those LS-leeching, gather-whole-server, ninjapull-whining BS stops.

    Hunts should be about finding/searching and killing them.
    The old A when found by my group are usually killed without telling someone just so we don't have to read all that bs...

    Together with this they should increase the reward and/or ammount of daily hunt logs, so people still get an upgrade sometimes, even when not 'really' hunting.
    They could make the B-Rank a daily hunt for example and/or increase the reward of the current dailys from 3/4/15 to 5/10/20.

    Hunt contribution is calculated through enmity. While this does not change anything for almost all DPS in exclusion of Summoner (Titan-Egi ftw), it does help for those who have the option to hunt with a tank or healer class. It's why some healers spam heals during hunts after tagging a mob with a DoT.

    This, this is the reason why you always have to have a Tank in your group and why the "best" hunt group when there's a lot of competitors is actually 5-6 tanks and 2-3 healers. If you're alone, you better be a tank, or you're pretty much guaranteed a silver participation or lower.
