Just delete the hunts for centiruon seals or add other ways to get them

The OP should direct this to the players (which I think that is why he made a thread here in the first place) instead of SE. He wants us ( the players/people) to spot being jerks to one another while doing hunts. That is a problem he will never be able to eliminate even if he ask nicely. There will be a point that even the nicest people will become annoyed by something stupid done by other players and then go all aggro on some other party (if he/she stays in game for that day) or rage quit until the next day.

I know some people suggest to go and do solo, but he still wants to interact with the community so the only "solution" would be make friends that like to do hunts and group with them. It will be less toxic than to do it with just people you just LS hunt ( or make time to be friends with those people). When people are strangers to one another, we don't really care if we do something bad to them.

I disagree. The players bring this on themselves. If played as intended - without the zerg army - they work great.

The zerg happens because you have lots of players all after the same thing on a monster which only spawns every so often. If these things showed up every ten minutes there wouldn't need to be the huge zerg, but because people might miss out otherwise, it's only natural to draw a crowd.

I think you just need to actually do something to the mob. That said.. I try casting Thunder(fastest spell)...anything else, mob is probably dead before I finish casting.

Feel free to cast Thunder on a mob. I'm main white mage, so I don't actually have that option. The best I can do is throw up Aero, since it's an instant cast spell, and spam heals on a party to try and get some kind of contribution. Even then it doesn't always count.

Benediction on whoever pulls it works wonders. It will almost certainly get you aggro though, so beware. :3

Hunts are terrible on large servers, and the more they're sidelined the better for the game. Hunts are actually really super cool when you fight them in a small group, and anything that facilitates that is good.

One thing I've learned as a healer, never cast heals until after you hit the hunt mob. For some reason heals alone don't count, you have to do both or it's as good as wasting your MP.

Hunters get hunts.
Standing around and waiting for someone to give you a <flag> coord in a linkshell isn't hunting. The people standing infront of a mob are in no way obligated to wait for everyone on the server to arrive. Them not waiting isn't something I'd consider toxic. The closest thing to toxicity in attitude that I'd say I've seen, it the complaints that someone didn't wait.
This complaint comes up every on the forums time the hunt rewards are in any way important after certain patches. If you want seals, go hunting.

Funny thing because the one pullings are never the one discovering the mobs, but early pull aren't what's the worse, the hundread of players zerging a monster in 5 seconds like zombies that just found some meat, the thousands of "inv please" flooding the chat, that's annoying, there is no fun in this feature.

I dont know why the devs get excited about adding new hunt content and that its an amazing feature, and think people are going to have fun with it. Its rubbish. It always has been.

Funny how the response to a "community is toxic and spiteful"-thread is people being spiteful and toxic to the OP (or anyone that agrees with him). Maybe the issue is not with hunts, but rather the people.

I can't believe people are defending hunt mechanics.....I've hated hunts since the day they were implemented. Long spawn times, and they die in 5 seconds....completely boring. I'd rather spam dungeons all day. It may be tedious but at least its not as boring as hunts and "some" of the boss fights have entertaining mechanics.

I get that SE wanted more participation in a part of a game that they spent time creating, but I don't think forcing it as the only way to upgrade gear was the correct way to go. Personally I wont do hunts when I get to 60 and will just wait and see how gear upgrades play out with the new end game raids as I guarantee there will be alternatives implemented into them.
