Wow this is so silly.
If a group finds a hunt they can do whatever they want With it. Id recommend fighting it 8 man cause the fight will actually be a littlr challenging depending on A rank. If you call in other people usually a group turns up "pull at xx" and starts giving orders like they found it.

Thats when I shout "Garuda! I choose you!'
and let garuda do the pulling :3

Someone pulled the same stunt on me when I was trying to teleport when the old hunts were hot

Next time I'll just grab a friend or 3 and take it on myself.

that is sad yup and ppl not getting invited has been an issue from day 1 of hunts which is why I still say soloers should get full credit...period.
starting ones own party is not realistic no matter how fast you can click and inv in most cases as mobs are normally dying too fast.

i always join pt early and stay in one to do hunts and enjoy that and the ppl very much, but if solo i announce and move on as full credit isn't an option
even to change to tank class and try by the time the silly abilities rest (bad idea se) the mob is mostly dead as well

as for op ....that is indeed low of them to trade spam...tacky tacky to do to anyone

Some things that should be made known:

1. Report people who maliciously misuse game mechanics to interfere with others. Trade request prompts are designed in such a way that they are a ultimatum to ensure trade processes can be completed by bringing attention and focus to the process, almost undisturbed.

2. There is no set guideline on hunt etiquette in terms of fighting hunts, finding hunts, etc. While it is nice that people try to broaden the interest by making up fake rules and social mannerisms, it's a feature of the game. You and your party can take on the challenge however you want. It is not a form of griefing or malicious play in the sense as trade requests can be misused. Both fall in the category of "utilizing game features/mechanics however you want." But the difference is one is directly interfering while the other is indirectly.

3. Report every single occurrence that you were affected by. While it is unclear as to what level of penalization each reported individual is currently at based on account history, if your account shows a solid history of evidential harassment, Support Desk GMs should have a policy to better your situation in some way. So even if you think authorities won't do anything (or won't do enough), consider how it would look from the other side. "Oh look, this one person is being picked on by ALL of these others." Your latest harassers won't know what they're getting themselves into.

Don't worry guys, the new Monster Hunter is out soon. Then you can get a real hunt going.

SE learned absolutely nothing from when hunts were first introduced,
nothing at all.
It's the same shit all over again.

Typing /busy in chat will fix that instantly for you ;)

And - what they did is a reportable offence as they disrupt other player's game.

such a jerky remark it popped right by them they were there they had every right to pull it.

Remember people no one has the right for elit hunt marks.

I was thinking about that if that's against the ToS.

SE would do well to change it to one hit = full credit. It's the scaled credit that is causing people to "pull early" and cuss out others. Need to buff the hp on hunt marks again, too.
