So resetting's against the rules now?

I think you need to establish what you think an "early pull" is.

That would be just as pointless as the GM trying to give a simple answer.

Not exactly, as you generally wouldn't be reported by someone for the reasons I stated. If you're not reported, you probably didn't do anything that others involved felt wronged over. Even if you were reported under those situations, there would be enough evidence to say that you were acting acceptably. And they do need to use words and details to do said report, which is why understanding what people consider something to be, like an "early pull" is rather important. Not only does it provide potential insight for others as to what you think that is, but it also provides insight for you to what others think it is. Hence a preventative to actions that would otherwise be reported. That isn't exactly "pointless" when you really think about it.

Honestly, I feel like I've probably done more hunts than most people in this thread, and most people just roll with the punches from early pulls or resets. I think it's more of an issue on the forums than it is among people who actually do hunts.

Definitely entertaining to talk about, though.

That's partly because a lot of folks don't want to bother dealing with the hordes. Many don't mind of course, but ask anyone that isn't doing them about why they don't. I guarantee that an overwhelming majority will state at least one reason being the negativity and lack of enjoyment to be found unless you were part of the dominant groups.

According to Herd Mentality, it's simple: an individual outside of the HERD is selfish for pulling without waiting for "the rest of the server" (please, this statement constitutes the dominant Hunt Linkshell and IIRC Network only). If you're a member of said Hunt network pulling, I have yet to see any of them reset the mob to some poor individual who shouted "wait please" - you know what they're answer would be: "Too bad - should've gotten here quicker when we called the timer".

Across each server, small groups are trying to dictate the rules of The Hunt with the rest of the community to suit their own motives - them resetting the mobs for "the greater good of the community" is BS and you know it. At the moment, you're not complaining about this system because it's working fine for you. The irony though, when the system eventually screws you over, I wager you'll be the first person in the thread complaining that "something's gotta be done!".

This is how human nature works: the ones bitching are the ones that have been screwed over by the system and the "haves" at the moment don't see anything wrong because they haven't been negatively impacted yet.
