So resetting's against the rules now?

[Hyrist]

I don't see that as any worse than what we have now. At least this way, those who are "non-conformist" didn't lose their credit because of it.

That's a point, but what I am saying is I don't' see it as a significant enough impact to truly improve the atmosphere change that the hunts have caused. I do believe a more profound solution to the problem is needed that would better accommodate all parties involved.

See, while those who end up being swarmed by the group still gets full credit, what if the monster dies before the crowd's nebulous and unspoken number of acceptable participants arrive? That individual is still defaced and harassed for partaking in content that is no way required by rule nor function to become a giant party in order to enjoy, even though the expected participant projection for the monster type was well exceed.

It just doesn't solve the underlining social problem I see being created by this system.

(Ok, gone now, back really killing me. See you later!)

Well, right. I'm sure there are much more thorough solutions to the whole mess, but I was talking bare minimum solutions that would ideally require very limited dev work on SE's side, since this seems to be at a premium right now.

take care, hope you feel better
