Squeenix's official stance is that all hunt content is free for all, first come first served. If a player (and their group, where applicable) believe they are capable of handling the given target, they are fully free to pull at their own discretion. This whole "relaying the <pos> through hunt shells" thing is a purely player-driven phenomenon, Squeenix has said on multiple occasions that it "goes against the spirit of the content" and thus they frown on it (although they'd never actually step in and stop it, for obvious reasons).
"Early pulling" isn't a thing, has never been a thing, and never will be a thing. If you weren't there when it was pulled, you were late and your impotent rage is laughable.
This. My friends and I came across a SB A rank today and relayed it in our FC and hunt linkshells. Ten minutes later, there wasn't even enough people there to form a full party. We waited ten more minutes and some more people trickled in, so we pulled it. People had 20 minutes to get there after we called it, and still complained it was pulled early.
While I agree that it's rather annoying that they get pulled, and killed, rather quickly, I understand that they are FFA. Just need to be able to get into a good linkshell that will help you be able to get to the fast...mind you, I don't have a linkshell I am part of for hunts...which I should remedy if I want to do more of them...
It's almost like hunts never die down after a couple weeks and sit up for a while before enough people show up to kill em.
