Early Pulling - Is it wrong?

[Frederick22]

I really think something most be done.

I'm not sure how is in your servers, but on Sargatanas the "early pulling" has become a thing and its compleatly abussed.

There is an FC that one of the reasons for what was made, was for early pulling. Those ppl are one of the firsts ones to arrive and the firsts one to arrive. They dont call that the hunt was being found or that was being killed. So yes they kill hunts on silence.

A lot of of ppl dont make on time, and to be worse mock to ppl that couldnt make it.
Yes sure, ppl tried to talk to them but is no use, and blacklist doesnt work, they just keep doing it.

This guys have fun on early pulling and watching how orther ppl couldnt make it, and they laught of it. They have being doing this since the release of HW.

No, its not.

IIRC, SE has stated that was intent of hunts.

SE made it so S ranks and most 50+ A ranks require a large group to kill. There is benefit in waiting and no benefit in rushing. First come first serve... provided they have backup... It's clearly meant to be a group effort and early pullers clearly spoil that with self centered actions. The intent of high rank hunts is max participation for mass rewards. Something even undergeared and inexperienced players can be a part of.... provided they make it in time.

The A ranks were meant for a single party. I wouldn't call that a large group.

Clearly you've never tried Merka(Merska? W/e) with only only 8 players. Or that owl critter.

What was intended and what the community actually does have always been two different things, for better or worse. And regardless, there's still zero reason not to wait for as many people as possible since there's no benefit to pulling "early". It also depends on when we're talking about because when hunts were first introduced (and even during the early days of HW) you would be hard-pressed to kill some of the A ranks with just a single group. It wasn't until our gear started to outstrip the set strength of the mobs that it started to become more and more of a single group affair, but it most certainly didn't start that way.
