Hunts are things tracked and regulated by the community, and it should probably stay that way. 3rd party programs will pretty much always exist in an MMO -- we are simply too good with the internet and whatnot for that to not be a thing. Not only that, but it's as Yoshi said with ACT: its a pain to draw that line. Some people say that a bot program that pings a hunt shouldn't be allowed, but a fanmade website that has user-speculated and entered data is okay. Some don't even like the website. You could get really extreme and say that hunt Discords shouldn't be allowed cause it's 3rd party.
