The Hunt Public Shaming Needs to end

[Snugglebutt]

I think we should just all agree on the following points:

-If the people who were out searching for hunt mobs (ie the people maing hunts happen) don't make it to the mob in time when it gets discovered elsewhere, it was pulled early, thus discouraging them from going out to look and instead encouraging aetheryte camping.

-There is no rule against early pulling, just as there is no rule against excluding players who pull early from parties. No one "HAS" to play with anyone else in this game and if you find their behavior objectionable you are free to exclude them.

-Scaling mob HP would solve the issue (as it as solved it in other MMOs).

No I do not and cannot agree on the first two parts of your post. I stated why in post #366. Firstly just because group/person A never made it to the mob before pulled by group B or person B does not mean was pulled early. Again you cannot pull 'early' unless a predetermined time limit is both present and accepted by all players of which I pointed out why in my previous post and coming to a consensus after the pull is not in any way at all valid because such consensus was not reached by every single person present during and after as to what that predetermined time limit was prior to pulling in the first place.

So I very much disagree with your first part, on your second part...the whole thread is about 'how' people are going about excluding people. Should you be allowed to blacklist someone who did something you do not like? Sure. Should you spread vindictive accusations on public chat across entire zones or the entire server about that person which publicly shames them, creates harassment and abuse towards them? No. It is fine to inform people someone pulled so that people know the fight has begun, it not however alright to claim they pulled 'early' or tell people vindictive and negative ways to harass and punish them using mob rule when 'early' is subjective.

As I stated above there is a big difference between saying "someone pulled" and saying "someone pulled early", "someone pulled early so blacklist them", "someone pulled early so do not resurrect them" which in all three latter examples it is not only subjective to claim it was early in the first place but also has negative and accusatory connotations attached and does lead to harassment. The first one does not imply the puller did anything wrong, the other three are done for the sole purpose of harassing that person with the accusatory and negative connotation added by saying they pulled "early". I gave an example in post #366 as why the last three should not be done.

The last part of your comment about HP increase I have no major problem with trying but it could be open to abuse and if that is the case then a better solution needs to come about.
