    Hunts are still Broken and a Joke

    Hunts die too fast:
    30 seconds and it's over for an A rank.
    For an S rank, 1-2minutes and it's over

    No credit for people popping S Ranks:
    You can spend 2 hours trying to pop an S rank, and end up with less marks than people who randomly showed up after you did all the legwork

    Hunts disappear:
    At least on Balmung, nearly everybody still has to deal with the infamous "invisible NM"
    Multiple times during almost any A or S rank fight the Mob disappears. Even when people tone down the settings, they still disappear

    No full credit even if there entire time:
    with so many people killing the hunt mobs, even if a full party spams entire fight and does max dmg they can, they often get less than the max reward

    Fate-Tied Hunts:
    Too many trolls. Ppl joke about how they are ruining the fates for people. And then say "if you don't like it don't hunt"

    Too many trolls in general:
    people shouting fake hunt positions
    people pulling right away (even if you found the mob and were waiting for others)
    people resetting and pk'ing people

    Tons of cheating:
    Because "radar isn't any different from looking around" (even though it obviously is) and SE hasn't said anything, nearly everyone is using radar to find mobs.

    Overall, hunts will probably go down in history as one of the worst mechanics in any MMO. Literally, they fail at nearly every point. Great concept, horrible follow-through.

    already a number of people I know have left the game because they are tired of all the hunt-related drama spamming every zone.

    Sadly this could be fixed easily using any of the following:
    1. 7min invulnerability on hunt mobs when they pop
    2. twenty times the HP
    3. 100 mark cap per day
    4. announcement in zone for a and b hunt mobs. worldwide announcement for s rank mobs
    5. increase daily hunt to 105 per day (so 1 full upgrade per week if soloing)
    (10)
