Solo Hunt Rewards (S Rank)

A and S ranks are meant for parties, by design.

Based on the latest changes, even Bs are now meant for a light party.

I have no issues with this, honestly. Need 3-4 people to kill something? Whatever. What I do have an issue with is getting little credit for not being in a party, especially when there's at least 15-20 others around to kill any given mark. If you attack when it's pulled and continue till it's dead, you should get full credit, regardless of how short the fight is. If someone shows up at -50% then half the seals is reasonable, though. Regardless, I haven't really noticed a change in contribution requirements, which is more obvious outside of a party.

Nearly every A I've been part of killing I've gotten the full rewards from it without being in a party, S Ranks shouldn't differ, I'm still doing substantial damage to the Mark (ilvl102 DRG so not exactly weak hits) for it's entire uptime so I deserve fair rewards and not the same as some random party that showed up in the last 10%

Pretty much this. It's not really hard to invite everybody asking for a party when an S mark pop's. Really. Also, it's not really hard to join a party for them. I don't know what's the excuse there. They're almost server events, if you want to do it alone, it's pretty much against its design. You with other people, as a GROUP, contribute to the final reward. I had full parties getting 30 out of 50 seals if their contribution is not enough.

You knows there's literally pages of people shout'ing for invites so the chances of actually getting enough people invited and forming a full group before they're already in another party are slim, especially when it's in the heat of things and someone only literally just pulled and some people are still making their way there.

Either way the patch notes said they'd "eased" the contribution points threshold for each Elite mark which determines the reward, so explain how I got exactly the same reward from a <40% HP S Rank in Coerthas pre-hotfix, than I did from the 95-100% S Rank in Northern Thanalan post-hotfix?
