Hunt Griefing: Solution to Community Woes?

[Darkstride]

Exactly the type of experience I'm trying to correct with suggestions. You're not alone so clearly some changes are needed.

Except that people somehow feel entitled to hunts that they either didn't hunt or didn't find themselves. Just because someone announced the mark had spawned or had been found doesn't automatically mean that the whole server has a claim to it. They did you a favor by even letting you know it was there. If the group that found it can kill it themselves, then they have no obligation to wait for the mass gathering. If you make it in time, congratulations.

I find the players' sense of entitlement more appalling than the so-called griefing of "early pulls".

You don't get to make up rules for FFA content.

It's the open world no such thing as early pulling stop complaining and black listing people because you didn't get full credit or even credit for that matter.

You can't control people so why you trying?

The intent of the OP is to request changes to difficulty of hunts so that no one player can grief without consequence. Nowhere in that does it state new rules for players to adhere to nor encourage blacklisting of players. I think I've made it very clear that this is an issue for SE to resolve, not the community.

I don't know if this was suggested or not.

How about actually making them hard?!

Think of S/A hunts as the open world competition content that many people had asked for. For those who don't want to compete, there's the rank B and daily hunts that are basically guaranteed marks.

Or think of those missed hunts as joining a DF party and not being able to finish the dungeon/encounter.

The OP states that Hunts do not work as intended and that players are griefing others by not waiting for others to gather to kill the mark.
Hunts work as intended. You hunt, you kill, you get rewarded.
Nowhere is it stated that anyone who finds a mark needs to wait for anyone else. If they can defeat it, it is their right to do so.
There is more griefing coming from people reporting others for "early pulls", which isn't even an actual issue. If you didn't make it in time, then you weren't there when the hunt was discovered. You weren't entitled to that hunt and anyone who informed you of its presence did a courtesy of allowing others the opportunity to join. This "early pull" accusation nonsense is what really makes hunts annoying.

Then why are they not 'claimable' by one group/alliance lol. If they were intended for competition, only the group that pulled would get credit.

Hunts are currently not working as intended.

Open world content IS griefing.

A ranks were designed for a party to kill. S ranks a few partys to kill.

NO hunt mob was designed for the whole server to kill at once.

People who find the hunt mobs have all the rights to immediately start killing them. It is their choice or not to wait for the masses.
