Yeah I remember when that was a thing... someone finds a hunt mark solo or with a small party, zerg comes along and someone takes it over and resets it, and the person who found it ends up with 2 allied seals. The whole system just sucks, the fact that this whole discussion is even happening (over who can get credit for doing something easy) should be a sign something's wrong... they might as well just spawn a random NPC that gives allied seals to the first _ people to talk to them.

It's like going to a classroom full of 24 kids with a box of 12 ice cream cones to pass out and telling them 'free ice cream for whoever can clap their hands together.", giving the box to one of the kids to hand out as they see fit and leaving. And then showing up the next day wih another box saying 'Oh sorry we realize there weren't enough for everyone so here's 12 more.' and then handing the new box to that same kid to pass out.
