So I encountered my first case of real harrassment in the game

Getting an invite to AST is pretty easy. Its open to the entire server. Also AST has a rule. No one in AST pulls. You can get kicked if you dont follow that rule. This means its often someone outside AST that pulls. Theres been a concentrated effort to screw over AST from certain players. Its pretty sad tbh.

Hunts were really poorly designed. To create something that takes a party of 8 to kill, make it have a 4 hour spawn time. And then lo k the best gear in the game behind it is trolling. To not forsee this causing abuse and toxicity is just sticking your head in the sand. It the perfect tool for trolling, handed on a silver platter.

Then again, the loud mouth linkshell leeches are no better, letting others actively look for the hunt and then raging when they are late.

Pretty much this. Next thing you know, they're gonna let you buy esotaric gear with centarion seals as well.

Hunts needs to be removed.
First of all, people don't understand what a hunt is.
It's a damn hunt. It's not everyone their cat and their great great grandma coming to join.
No where does it say, that you HAVE to wait for everyone to get the mark. It's really polite though
to wait on some, but it is impossible to wait for everyone. On my server, I tell people I found x and I'll be waiting
30 seconds for a response, and an additional 30 to pull. Sorry, anyone else after, you snooze you lose.
Hunts implemented again in 3.0 is one bad idea SE should of learned before.

I'm not under the delusion that everyone should keep on waiting until the entire server has wrapped up whatever they're doing and finally made their way over to the hunt's location.

However, if I'm standing at a hunt waiting for 1 minute or 100 minutes and some yahoo arrives on the scene and immediately pulls.. that guy is a jerk, hands down. Because in the end he did absolutely zero waiting. And what he's essentially saying is that the only thing that matters is his time, and he's not willing to spend a second of it on anyone else (even though the only reason he got included in the hunt is because people waited for him).

Sadly, this happens quite often.

Apparently you can actually report them, if they are doing it to be purely distruptive and other players have had the same issue then likely a GM will look into it, from my experience they will monitor or follow around the player and observe his behavior before taking action, I know hunts are designed to be somewhat competitive, however acting like a jerk or trolling isn't what was intended.
