    I'm just tired of the hunt linkshells announcing it in chat when theres no chance to get there in time.

    Last night there was one for the cactuar princess (whatever her name is) in central thanalan. As soon as it was announced I immediately teleported there. I loaded pretty quickly and once I got there on my mount it was already dead.

    If people aren't going to wait at all then there is zero point in announcing it.

    It's a courtesy. Nothing more should be expected, honestly. Not like the guy announcing it wants you to miss it, he's just trying to help where he can.
    Really if you want to kill it, go out and find it.

    Just because your LS announces a hunt, doesn't mean that THEY found it. I regularly see people moaning about early pulls when the reality is that their LS just announced it late and everyone else had already been waiting for plenty of time. The world does not revolve around you or any other individual player.

    People are inevitably going to pull sooner now anyway because it's harder to get credit for kills on lvl 50 hunts when everyone is lvl 60. Waiting for everyone that wants in would result in no one doing enough individual damage to get any credit.

    There's been more than one time where either I found a target or someone in my group did, and called it out...only to have someone else pull the very second they got there while chat is still being spammed with "inv please!!" and half the people on the way aren't there yet. We've had people pull while the rest of the group that found the thing isn't even there yet. We've also had a bunch of people trying to solo/duo them without bothering to call them out at all.

    It may be harder to get credit individually, but that's why people form groups.

    Obviously the world doesn't revolve around any one person, and I honestly don't expect much, but it'd be nice if people were more inclined to work together on things like this.
