"Early pulling" doesn't exist. People can pull whenever they feel like. If you aren't there, well, sorry to say, too bad. If I see a hunt with my friends, I'll pulling the thing. I'm not waiting for half the server to show up just for me to get a bronze if I'm lucky. This same crap happened with Dark Devices. People would *gasp* complete the FATE and get called out for it. If I'm there with a party (or solo, depending on the mark), I'm pulling. Noone is under ANY obligation to wait.
