this is getting Ridiculous

[Brine_Gildchaff]

I find it comical you believe it's rude that other people don't follow your moral compass. What's selfish is your expectation of others to conform to your perceived way of doing things.

There are two possible outcomes of the situation I described.
a) The person waits, and multiple parties are able to obtain credit, leading to 10-20 (or even more on larger mobs) people getting seals instead of 4 and all of them feel pretty good about things.
b) The person doesn't wait, pulls, and laughs at anyone who complains. End result being 4 people get seals and several people with bruised feelings and/or egos.

So explain to me what is so "comical" about finding the first situation preferrable?

But that's the thing, that's how it was INTENDED to be done. You find it, you kill it. That's the entire friggen point of it.

If that is how it was intended to be done, why aren't monsters locked to the people who pull them? Nobody, least of all Yoshida, intended the Hunt system to be XI's notorious monsters all over again.

It's hilarious that in your example you're imposing a malicious intent on the people who found it and are killing it themselves. You seem to have deluded yourself into believing all of the people that are doing it as intended are doing it while cackling maniacally at the people who are missing out.

It's blatantly obvious from the health they had when they were released that you were supposed to either happen upon them, or go hunting with a small group, not call your boy Jaykwon and his 80 cousins to bust a cap in it.

Why is there no c) The person doesn't wait, pulls, and goes back to what he was doing before without needing to involve the rest of the zone in any way.

People aren't all seperated into nice guys and jerks, some people just want to do content with their friends without having to worry about what 50 strangers think.

This is a very entertaining thread to read while on break at work.
