Solo players can't get proper credit for hunts

I think they should make it "hit it once to get full credit" and then put a proximity limit on it - like, if you run X distance away from the mob, you don't get anything.

And the people who think hunts are a social thing are kidding themselves. It's just 8 people waiting on 7 others to spam a coordinate.

On my server we have 5 or so linkshells, a teamspeak and a group of players that uses sheets and calculations to find out where the next bigger targets will be and USUALLY a pull time is designated and kept to allowing as many players as possible the chance to get there.

But if YOU dont wanna do the work behind it like joining a group and roaming with them for a bit then dont blame the system when your standing groupless infront of the mark with noone to party with and get stuck with little reward.

Oh yes, it's SO much work to stand around going "Any hunt LS?" in shout and waiting for one to invite you, then waiting around while other players use definitely-spreadsheet-and-not-a-third-party-tool to tell you where the hunt is.

They arnt using third party tools if thats what your implying casuse they dont tell exacly when/where it will spawn.

Simply put, they know the respawn time in hours for most of the marks so when said time reach its end the area which it spawns in becomes a POI (point of interest) and then the large mass goes to these areas looking for them and when they find them they call it out, once the mark is dead the sheet is updated with the new info so they can calculate the next time it spawns again.

And for the record hunts are more social then dungeons cause atleast people actually use the chat feature.

So no, joining a party isn't always the option. And calling your friends from other zones isn't an option when the stupid mob dies in 10 seconds.

This. Several times I've stumbled across a mark and shouted for a group with no replies. All I can do is pull first and hope for the best.

How about, I don't know, for a party yourself?

I think ingame help even tells you how to do it.

*shocked*

Congratulations that's the most ignorant response in this whole thread!
Sorry I can't "plan" when I'm not using the 3rd party cheating apps like the so called "planners" do.

May I suggest just anyone who lands a hit on the hunt can get full credit? It's just a zerg fest anyway.

Solo players can't beat dungeons nor raids on their own. It's crazy!

I'm sorry but the answer is ... plan better. I am in no hunting LS and I still managed to easily get enough for a mannequin for my house's yard in less than an afternoon.

I just put a party finder up saying hunting, and it filled up super fast. Everyone started looking for the mobs and would call it out if they found one, we teleported there, etc. And we did it on prime time where a lot of the time people wouldn't even wait before pulling and it was a clusterfskk of players too.

My friends tell me all the time if they run into a B rank and need help and most of the time they are alone by when I get there too.

Dungeons are an organized space where you will que solo, be put into a group and guarantee to get your myth/soldiery/exp/possible item drops.
Don't compare dungeons to the unorganized zerg fest that is the hunts.
