Hunts were a terrible/irresponsible idea

Word is to come pld with Voke and FLash spam for credit without killing, as if everyone would actually do that or has Paladin unlocked though.

It's great they put in content that encourages people to be pricks, then back up that it is ok to be a prick with their followthrough.

Yea, both people are most likely still online because this leash mechanic has existed since the game launched, and until SE actually "defines" certain usage of it to be an exploit or cheating reporting people for this is going "nowhere".

Don't know how many times I have seen "veteran" MMO players try to define cheats/exploits by their own opinion, yea it sucks, but until "SE" states when leashing and resetting HP is or isn't one or the other, this is a dead issue.

I have also read comments ingame in shout about how people were reporting people for not holding marks, good luck.

The only hunts I have done are daily mark bills at 7 seals per day combined, and this failed system and the sentiment of this entire thread are why.

Just a quick idea, maybe, just maybe, disregarding the programming part:

1. Marks spawn with invincibility
2. Once agro, start a countdown of invincibility, 30/120/180 seconds for rank B/A/S
3. The party of the player who agro will automatically gets a "silver" contribution provided they are in the area and land a single hit

This way, we can ensure that the spotter at least gets something if they pull right away or shortly after shouting and everyone at least get a chance (size doesn't matters, you snooze, you lose) to get a shot at the mark.
Having an invincibility cd period and agro bonus might just make it more community friendly for sharing if the spotters choose to as well.
