Hunts were a terrible/irresponsible idea

Why are we supposed to share information with ppl that is not working on the hunts? i never said you can't comunicate, but if you wanna do hunts, do so, work for it, in a group or solo, but don't involve players who are not hunting.

The reason you're seeing this behavior is because of the Sands and Oil of Time on the vendor. I don't think it's a terrible system, it just shouldn't be giving people end-game gear.

In that case i don't mind if they get them out of the list.

Everyone is complicating this too much, you see the monster, you attack it, you kill it, and if you can do so it's because: 1 you're lucky, or 2 you have been working for it, this is not a fate, not a dungeon, nor odin or behe, if you want to hunt with ppl go ahead, what you can't do is telling a whole LS about the monster and hold it and restart it so "everyone" can get credit.

The next time you see one of them attack it, if any other hunter is looking for it you'll have his/her help, but if you tell others via ls, joe A, crafter B, afker C and gatherer D will get there with a bunch of players to ruin the hunt and get credit w/o deserving it.

How dare they collaborate with each others! No mmorpg should ever try to encourage community content!
Bad-bad, players!

Because they are my friends? Because they shared a previous hunt with me? Because, really, why shouldn't I? Because it's nice to have server open world content and the community working together for once? I am in Hunt LS, a lot of us are working together to try to find the S Rank though the world, I'm checking one area, they are checking another.

You're not really understanding the point very well. When something spawns it's dead within a minute, sometimes less. Everywhere. It's not just the current Elite Target. On Sargatanas, when an A or S Rank spawns, it's swarmed by close to a hundred people (I'm getting the "Hughhhhhhhh!" roaring of battle sound effects sometimes) within a minute or two. Illegitimate means of knowing exact spawn locations aside, this is a huge design fault. The monsters simply don't have enough HP to take this kind of attack and last very long. I'm not over complicating anything, I'm just saying it how it is. If Balmung is not similar enjoy your hunts. Sargatanas is a mess for hunts and it has been since release.

Oh let's not get too crazy. It's basically a zerg fest. People sit around sharing locs, and then everyone hops on top of it. People are just camping and zerging, that's it.

I don't necessarily agree with the poster you're replying to. Though it's amazing to think this is the open world contested content you've been waiting for.

Eh, you know what they say, beggars can't chose. I'll take anything resembling player interaction over FATE or yet another instanced dungeon. (Yeah, I'm not going to pretend NM in XIV are that different from FATE... but at least you have to communicate a bit with these)

Your responses are really useless why don't you go anywhere else?

If you are talking about the weekly ones you're right, those need a rework.

But B,A and S ranks w/o bounty worked fine before the first hunt LSs appeared, if they die in no time it's just because the actual hunters are telling their LSs to go to pos X to get credit, or may be someone having trouble shout and the a bunch of LSs get there in no time.

The system is not designed to be played by the whole server, and we are the ones bringing the whole server to the system, like dungeons, coils and primals, the credit should go for the players working on it, not for random guy A who heard the pos in one of his LSs.

It actually is, though.

Imagine that, open world content... open to the whole world.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

SE seem to want you to waste your time and money, their game is built on it. They charge you a monthly fee, put caps on all earnings like soldiery tomes, have like o.01% Atma drop rate, terrible spawn rate for FATEs, the books take a while to complete and now these ridiculous hunt marks.

This is absolutely shameless money gouging by SE and it's disgusting. I notice they don't have a complaints section on their active help, that'd fill up fast knowing people have valid concerns. SE either don't care about the concerns people have with their game or care more about wasting maximum time to earn the most money.

My subscription ends in a few weeks and I'll be hard pressed to find a reason to spend more money on this pathetic and shameless cash grab.

Not the way we handle it, as you see with 50+ players in one monster you can't get credit, while i agree rank S should be stronger, we shouldn't be sharing information the way we do it now, if you wanna have your hunt party, well do it, but keep the information inside the group, if you tell 10 players, then 100 will get there and ruin the battle, and what's the capacity of a LS? 250? i don't remember, most of these LSs are already full.
