    I sure miss the days when hunts were civil and courteous. People would try to wait the longest they can, so others can get full seals rewards too. People used to shout "Anyone still on their way?" "Pulling in 30 secs!" etc. It's sad to see some people don't know how to share.

    I hate that this mentality was even ever a thing. Sucks the fun right out of what Hunts were meant to be; the competition of your group getting to a mark before others was good stuff. Made actively participating something necessary and worthwhile, instead of hunters being a workhorse for everyone else while they meander in other zones waiting for a call out. That people actually expected these few folks to put out effort for the sake of others doing nothing and getting in on the reward was pretty gross.

    As stated before, the sharing should be met with gratitude.

    To retort that, most of the time, what I've first-handedly witnessed, the people who actually found or spawned the hunts are those who wait. And after they shouted and notified people, they still wait.

    Then, along came some "selfish" jerks who just flew in from nowhere and started attacking, or bait other people into attacking (by aggroing the hunt and making it "active" making some people jump their gun).

    So to speak, those late comers who early pull don't deserve what you described. Because they didn't put effort in finding or spawning it, either.

    I do agree, however, that hunters should be active, and not just waiting for others to notify them of hunts.

    PS. I am more pissed when I'm the first one who found and announced the hunt, and then some ass flew in to ninja pull it even before we had enough people, than when I was following other people's announcement and someone pulled early and the hunt was killed before I could get full seals. (You know, that furious feeling of "I found it first and I was still waiting, you knew about it only because I announced it and who the hell are you to decide when to pull?!?") But sometimes it was satisfying to see the early puller die because no one helped them. :3

    I don't mind sharing at all, but when I KNOW some people leech, I wont even tell them anymore. There are far too many players who leech than actually look for hunts. They aren't any better at all.
