Hunt etiquette - early or not?

[Surani]

Woah, people are still mad at people playing open world content how it was supposed to be played?
You would not cope on the JP servers, they do not even call hunts out. First people to find it slay it.

It isn't a right for you to kill every NM that spawns.

Well it's called "hunt" for a reason, but if people offer to wait, they should at least take some time - and that's something I see happen way too often for my liking.

Wonder if the hunters of old waited for the whole town before he killed the Elk.
Probably not.

There is no such thing as "pulled early "

If it smells good to you, it's not a bad odor, no matter what everyone else says.

Hunters of how old, sticks and rocks, bows and arrows, early rifles? In any case it's an invalid comparison, because the total reward given is not a fixed amount; it wasn't possible for 100 people to join in the elk kill and each walk away with 100 pounds of meat.

Everyone is not entitled to every hunt. If you are just waiting for your LS to announce a hunt and you are not looking for marks, you cannot complain.

I give 3mins + time taken to get to mob from teleport location from the moment I use my macro which annouces in Hunt LSs, FC and shout.
Time up = Titan Egi pulling

There is no such thing as "pulled early " Its called a "Hunt" like in real life if you find it its yours.

I don't believe you've ever been hunting in real life.

I know Rare EX on our server pulled a bunch of hunt marks before anybody had a chance to get to them. It's that stupid exclusivity mentality that goes around near endgame that helps them vigorously masturbate at night over how they were first to get to a monster in a videogame.

The amount of people trying to compare hunt marks in this game to real life hunting and gathering just kind of shows the extremely narrow perspective on both videogames and real life these kind of people have.

Wonder if the hunters of old waited for the whole town before he killed the Elk.
Probably not.

Ah, yes, remember how the hunter gatherers of old had to all stab the deer and bison at least once to get a small portion of the meat?
No?
Is that not how that worked?
Huh.
Probably not.

When I lead, I try to shout/say pull time to give others a fair chance to party and whack the target, sometimes I even tell my groups to DPS slow to give others a chance. It doesn't lessen my rewards any to share. If you make it, great. If not, I always offer to invite them to the next one. But not everyone has to show the same etiquette, nor should anyone expect it be shown to them. Everyone plays differently.

When hunting with a party and I find something, I call my party first, linkshell second and then shout so others can get in on the action, I generally don't pull and I wait for people who are on their way, but I can't fault those who pull early, if their party is already there, they have nothing to lose by pulling, I find its better to wait for others since it goes down faster, but its their call.

Even if a hunt is pulled early, there are dozens of hunts that appear daily, not like missing a hunt due to an early pull is that bad, if you are in dedicated hunting parties and follow the hunting site, you rack up a ton of seals/myth/sol with little effort. Pulling early isn't a big a problem as I have seen people make it out to be.

The worst currently to hunt is Odin and has been for long time, spawns every few days in real time and on too many possible maps plus each map fairly large, then quite often people will spam chat with incorrect co-ords to mislead others on purpose for laughs.
