one fc on my server is known for early pulling is it like that on other servers?

[madoc]

My server has at least two of them.

Would it be a bad idea, besides breaking the hunt lore, if marks re-spawn timers were converted to a personal cool-down, like this:

A Ranks: re-spawn immediately in another random location. If you previously killed that mark in less than 3 hours, you don't get any rewards, you can't attack it, even if you're in a party with somebody "open".
S Ranks: can be re-spawned with their regular method or re-spawn automatically for those who pop alone while time/weather allows it. Same personal cool-down of A ranks, but longer (72 h?).

That's stretching what they meant. <snip>

Weirdly though they actually will punish for it and they do treat it was game disruption. It can be a form of griefing other players depending on circumstances.

Next time you are out in the woods with your rifle, hunting deer. see how many times other hunters will not only wait for you to arrive, but also put out a shout on Twitter that there's a nice buck 200 feet in front of them in a clearing.

I'm honestly sick of people who claim that it's all about helping each other. It's not, it's all about people believing that they are entitled to the rewards from the hunt, even if they did nothing more than watch their LS activity and 'port in. It's hunting, first group strong enough pulls and takes the reward, that's how it works.

Does each hunter get a deer if 10 shoot? You're sick of people promoting that we help each other? I'm early to every hunt, I participate in active search and I call out targets on 5 linkshells when possible.

In Gilgamesh, if you are not teleporting 5secs after a hunt is called, it's over. No matter how many linkshells you have.

With the 5sec teleport + loading + travel you have no chance. Because they are pulled so fast.

I've found hunts with NO ONE there. Then the train pops up out of no where. Waits 30secs or less and kills it. Watched it with my own eyes

This is why Gilgamesh is a horrible server, thank god i got out of that server

Meanwhile, I have the exact same thought about leaving Balmung. So much whining when hunts are "pulled early." (Single topic related reason why I dislike Balmung, not the only reason.)

I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to change your opinion. I was showing the other side of the field.

We had a person on Siren (many many people on siren) who will shout about the pulling early and inevitably there is a response shout of "welcome to siren". I've resisted thus far, but I really want to shout "welcome to hunts'.

Whoever told you that was probably spreading propaganda hoping it'd spread and people would stop quickly pulling. The only occurrence of griefing that can occur with Hunts is intentionally resetting them, and funny enough that tends to be caused by people who are upset they arrived late and not the ones who got there fast and started it.

A chicken in every pot and free ice-cream for everyone? Hunts are a 1st come 1st served piece of content, the 'fact' that on one server or another a group has performed a social engineering reprogramming on the community such thatoone pulls a mark until the mark itself is begging to be slain because it's tired of all the fireworks and e-peen while the 'hunters' wait for more 'hunters' to arrive, doesnt alter the fact that there is no such thing as an early pull; unless you live in some utopian world where everyone shares equally in the wealth, regardless of actual effort.
