The Hunt Public Shaming Needs to end

[Welsper59]

Why do you think it's weird when it's completely possible and actually quite easy? 1 tank or Titan in your party and you'll get full credit. I routinely get full A-rank credit solo as a summoner.

Either lying or doing them during times when the server is at low pop. If you can get full credit on an A rank that dies in about 10-15sec while solo, even as a tank or SMN, you're doing something that no one else can.

I know Lalas are greedy in game, but you can stop RPing any time now.... :P

Gotta agree with you on this one from what Lycelle said.

I don't ever announce hunts. Like, at all. I don't care about early pullers since I'm an 11 Player. People camped the hell out of NMs back in 11 and if you told them to wait while you get there they'd tell you to piss off and kill it. Which is why I find it funny that the player base in 14 can't handle the way hunts function, they damn sure wouldn't be able to handle it in 11 where lottery spawns existed and 3-5 day spawn windows were a thing. That's how I am unfortunately. If I see a hunt mob I will switch to Summoner and solo it on Titan Egi. If you show up and help? Good for you. Hunts are not meant to be shared publicly, like at all. It defeats the purpose of "The hunt." You are to go out with a small group and are to take the mob down for yourselves, not the entire server. Facepullers don't bother me because they end up dying and we just leave them on the floor anyways.

In FFXI, there was no shared credit due to inability to attack other players' targets and credit/drops only went to the people that claimed. In this game, the claim is shared regardless of who hit it first, meaning it is indeed intended to be shared with others if people choose to do so. How you choose to share a shareable target is up to the players. The hunt is not a solo/exclusive activity, nor is the general definition of "hunt" exclusive to one individual (or a small collective of people). Why you would think it is is... funny, to say the least. Again, it's your call to take unnecessary efforts to keep a target all hush hush, but you are 100% wrong to think your way is the one and only way The Hunt is to be done. All evidence points to you being wrong in thinking that, afterall.

As a side note, I'm not implying that the zergfest it is now is (and also was) how it's intended to be. Yoshi-P himself repeatedly stated how The Hunt was designed and the intended method of play it was to be used as.
