Solo players can't get proper credit for hunts

[Yoninxi]

"Join a party." is by far the worst answer to the issue. How am I suppose to join a party while I'm queued up for a dungeon I need for my Animus Book? I have a 15 to 30 min wait time that I would prefer to fill with mark hunting.

Dat opportunity cost.

Lol okay, didn't realize hunting marks was a privilege only a set few have. Next time I find one i'll be sure to tell everyone in shout then ask for their permission to hit it once before it dies.

So make one.

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.

I can't que for Syrus Tower while leveling my chocobo too bad for me. Same for you, you can't que for a dungeon while doing hunts if you want the full reward by doing nothing. Thats just how it work

Grab some friends and do the dungeon. Clear it faster/with less hassle than with a PUG and then go do Hunts to get another book. No waiting for a queue to pop then.

Doing nothing? Strange sense of logic...

Edit: Yoshi-P already confirmed they will fix the issue with chocobo and dungeon-finder...

Yeah doing nothing. You are not in a party roaming the zone that will pop a mark you just waiting for a /shout or a LS to tell you where it is because for some weird reason everyone that do hunts are cheaters or use radar. BTW all that is assumsion in my part, not really true but thats just how i see it.

Yeah...no. If someone is waiting for someone to spot one, they are still doing something, not very productive but it's still something. Most people are actively looking for marks though, Naul being a very popular one. However, I won't go looking for them or try to kill them unless I'm in a hunting party, as it is a moot point. I could run Fates all day long if I wanted to, solo or grouped up. That is where the issue is...well, one of a few at least. Players who hop into the action should get credit for doing similar dps/enmity as any one player who's in a group. As to the whole radar thing...that's another issue loosely related to this thread. I'm not touching that one with a ten foot pole.

I understand but the thing is that SE made the hunts to be party activities, been B light party and A full party while S been more alliance/server party. Here people want to make hunts a solo experience because they dont want to be in a party for w/e reason. Thats what i'm against. If a solo person do the same as a whole party do to the mark by all means give him full credit.
