Band-Aid fix on hunts didn't work

[Havenchild]

My key issue is I shouldn't have too change over. We shouldn't get blisted from the community because we are using Hunts like the devs envisioned, "Rank B maximum HP has been raised from solo to light party level, Rank A maximum HP has been raised from light party to full party level.". We should get reward without the need to be in a party, "some of the elite marks are so powerful, it would be in your best interest to shout for help before trying to lay a hand on them."

Either the devs need to fix this or we need to change the our mind set on how A and B should be handled because right now 30 people on light party/full party content isn't working.

Well I understand the shouldn't have to switch mindset, but SMNs in particular don't spike till about 20 seconds assuming you have the proper beginning rotation. If the mob dies before that, you are a pretty minuscule "weight" vs the other DPS that when fully buffed open miles higher then your class, hence there "weight" is higher.

People wish for more coordination with hunts. The content is not designed the way it's claimed to be as we all know full well. While you can certainly do the things SE states with the party sizes, that just a base recommendation. However, that's only speaking to what it's tuned for. It doesn't account for the enormous amount of people that approach each hunt as I'm sure you're aware of.

Your getting Blisted likely because you're pulling early while not giving others reasonable time to approach something, giving off the impression of not sharing, and while you may not be in the wrong mechanically speaking, your wrong in ethics, because everyone could profit from the same mob. Pulling something like Naul, (the most sought after B rank due to mark bills) on your own is a sense of douche baggery well realized because its so sought after.

Of course you also stated with an undertone of "I shouldn't have to party to get full credit". Honestly if that's true then you have two choices. Be main tank the entire life duration, or burn the thing down to the ground. You have the ability to do the second, and its your BLM.

So it's wrong ethically to not wait until everyone that needs the mob arrives? Let us take Naul for example because it's a good one. He's a B rank (designed for Light Party) which is in high need by the entire server. How long should we wait to pull? 15 minutes? 30 minutes? 1 Hour? No matter what someone is going to miss out. As someone stated already it took 7 tries to get full credit on Naul because they couldn't do enough damage due to the massive amount of people. You might call it selfish to pull an A rank mob after 8 people show up but I think it's selfish to make the first 8 wait for another 30 people and not get the rewards they deserve.

This system is fundamentally flawed because it's damn if you do damn if you don't. This is why players voted against it in favor of more instance content and no claim system why back in 2010. People may hate FATE with a passion but it works. Mobs show up on map so people don't need third party apps to find them and they have HP based on last number of players that fought them.
