I... actually really like hunts

[Ecks007]

A Rank Elites = 4 man PT to take down (originally solo)

B Rank Elites = 8 man PT to take down (originally 4)

S Rank Elites (very rare) = 8+ players to take down.

That is MINIMUM needed. Also.. I think you have your A and B mixed up. Not to mention B's are still able to be soloed, it just takes a little bit longer.

There is absolutely no reason to "wait for the horde"... in fact players not in a massive Hunt LS are hurting themselves if they do so. Meanwhile the "Hunt LS Hordes" get full credit for just a few hits because the Healers in those parties spam spells which clog up the screen with effects which causes the Mark to disappear and then no one outside those PT's can even target the damn thing let alone get any credit.

We do this at nights on our server, where there are still anywhere from 2-5 full parties out tracking hunt monsters. At night/early morning players are curtious enough to wait a few minutes while the other parties gather up. There is a limit to tolerance though, no one's going to wait 5 minutes for someone to get there before pulling. It's usually 1-2 at most because that's at most how long it takes to reach a mob once it's been announced. I am not even a part of any Hunt LS, however many of the players I regularly play with are. The only players having a hard time with hunts are PS3 players, and well, there's not much I can do about a hardware issue.

Do you know what happens when people wait for others to gather up before pulling and killing the hunt monster? Everyone gets full credit and is happy that they didn't get jipped. There is nothing bad about that.
