Solo players can't get proper credit for hunts

How about ... joining a party?

I shouted multiple times for party invites when there was a hunt and not a single person invited me.
So no, joining a party isn't always the option. And calling your friends from other zones isn't an option when the stupid mob dies in 10 seconds.

This. Several times I've stumbled across a mark and shouted for a group with no replies. All I can do is pull first and hope for the best.

Congratulations that's the most ignorant response in this whole thread!
Sorry I can't "plan" when I'm not using the 3rd party cheating apps like the so called "planners" do.

So make one.

So make one.

*Makes party*
*People join*
*by the time they arrive at the scene mob is dead*

Thanks for not reading any of my posts.

This is what I do. When I reach a mark, I send invites to any person around. Some may be in a party, some may not. As long as I get 1 or 2 guys I get full credit.

And as a friendly reminder to others, if you have your Chocobo out, you can't get invited to a group. I've seen people ask for invites but they don't dismiss their Chocobo.

The suggestion is to make a party AHEAD OF TIME. If you aren't actively looking for marks, you aren't going to get them very often. You can hope you randomly happen across one and further hope other people aren't looking for it, but the reality is that folks have gotten organized and look for these things in droves. They will be found. Period.

Honestly, that's your right. Go for it. But the rewards would be much better if you actively banded together with others to look for marks proactively. If you see one randomly in the field while doing other things and want it, take it. If the mob is too much for you, though, don't be surprised if they let you die as they wait for more people to show up.

I don't know if it's a lack of understanding or an unwillingness to understand, but "3rd party cheating apps" isn't the bane of Hunts, it's ORGANIZATION. Why would you even need cheats when you have 100+ people to look everywhere? Do you know what those people are doing? THEY ARE PLANNING.

You are correct I am not actively looking for marks.
You and everyone else is completely misunderstanding the complaint here.

I am doing other things, I stumble upon a mark. Great let me call my friends! Oh no they didn't make it, well I'll just attack it with the other herd here in hopes I can get something.

The complaint is, if you STUMBLE upon a fate, you can still get full credit without being in a party. If you stumble upon a monster you cannot get full credit unless no one else is there or your party/friends make it there in time.
The point is that hunts are very much like fates, but unlike fates rewards are a lot more difficult to obtain even though it's basically the same thing.


I'm not complaining that I don't have a lot of seals - because yes I am not actively going out to get these. However this kind of zerg content should not force players to "join parties ahead of time" to get credit. Nowhere in Yoshida's posts did it ever say it was going to be like that. Most mobs I have killed I ran into while gathering or doing treasure maps. Just because I don't "join a giant linkshell and plan a massive spreadsheet with lots of people" doesn't mean I don't deserve any seals for joining in the hunt. What kind of garbage system is that? People who plan ahead, and go around looking for stuff can get lots and lots of seals, that's totally cool. However if I stumble upon a mob first and others get there, I shouldn't be given 0 credit just because I'm not in a party with 8 people.

Why are you even arguing with this thread? Are you angry that someone who happens to stumble upon a mob gets their 5-10 seals while you get your 100 with your super organized group? God forbid!
