Hunt strategy for solo players?

[zPanda]

i have gotten full credit for solo hunts, but i found and started and got em down to below 50% before people showed. if a party shows up before that.... youll get 1-2 seals.
i gave up on hunts altogether shortly after i realized this.

On B-ranks yes, you can get full credit solo. This is probably the scenario people who are saying they can get full credit solo are referring too - B-ranks only. Anything above that, highly unlikely - not sure if it's even possible at all on a S-rank solo when there's a hundred other people there.
