    However, once the mob is engaged, it's unfair for someone that was (for example) afk or in a dungeon when the information came across their linkshell/FC to either 1) show up and reset the mob themselves (usually only happens if it's a small group fighting it with no tank) or 2) get someone in their linkshell/FC that's already at the fight to reset it so that they have time to get there. You were otherwise engaged so you lost out on this particular one.
    I agree!

    But that is just one of many possible things that could happen. Not all reasons for resetting are "right." Just like not all early pulls are "right."

    The only thing clear is what's against the rules and what's not... but that's not the same as right and wrong.

    I think you need to establish what you think an "early pull" is. Is it when a different group pulls an elite when your group (or whoevers) isn't around at the time, making them the only ones around? Because I can flat out tell you, that's not an "early pull" in the same context of what would justifiably be called that.

    The justified reasons to reset are VERY few and very specific in situation. As in maybe 2 or 3 reasons. One of which is simply a "mistake" or negligence, which can easily be proven against you if it happens repeatedly (even across more than just this one target). Another would be one we can all agree with, being that there was a proposed time to pull a currently neutral mob, and someone pulled earlier than that. There really aren't many other reasons beyond those 2 that could rightfully be harmless or acceptable.

    Hey guys, the Talathion here.

    There is nothing wrong with this tactic, it is actually a great tactic and has been used in contested games for ages. If you don't like it you can roll a tank and use your abilities to pull the mob back. However you shouldn't get "banned" or "suspended" for using your abilities, or you may as well ban every tank on the server for doing their job.

    I didn't know tanking abilities were given to tank just so they can grief others.

    The more you know.

I'm so glad that I'm part of a server where the majority of people atleast are not in that competative manor but trying to help as many as possible instead of thinking about just their own group. As long as your hate build on the mob with your group is high enough it doesnt matter really. Its sad that you would ruin other peoples gameplay if you would still get full credit. I'm not pointing fingers maybe the mentality is like that on Leviathan all I can say its too bad its like that where you are. I can't speak for all servers but im glad that over 20 groups have a mutual agreement when farming these hunts since we are all connected to eachothers linkshells one way or another.
    You are so delusional it's just cute. There was another thread not so long ago, one of your sheeps defending the current system of Hyperion while the minority was complaining about how they are mistreated, do you just turn a blind eye to those people?

    Maybe that is why its called a "taunt", because your taunting an enemy: Aka causing them grief so they attack you. Its roleplay wise and makes sense lore wise.

    What doesn't make sense though is the mob leashing. It should go on forever following the guy. Even maybe gain a speed boost because of how angry he or she is.
