Resurgence of people using third-party programs to find hunt marks?

[Metalwrath]

I wont say the FC's name but lets just say there is an FC on Odin thats known by the entire server as grief pullers for the last year or so.
As in they spend the entire day pulling any s rank and a rank as soon as humanly possible to try prevent any players getting credit for the kills.
But they are at nearly every S rank spawn and at every A rank spawn too.They are banned from most if not all hunt linkshells.But are magically at every hunt before most hunt linkshells even get there.
I suspect thy are useing 3rd party tools to detect hunt spawns.
On top of that they also troll all the s rank and a rank report sites to hide spawn times so they can try prevent players from killing them.

1. Our FC found/spawned tons of A ranks and S ranks at the start of the expansion. The hunts weren't getting pulled instantly either.
If people are getting there slow, that's their fault, when people started acting entitled to stuff they didn't bother to find, that is when a few people (not everyone) took upon themselves to pull the hunts earlier.

2. No one in the FC uses the hunt programs you are talking about. We aren't banned from every hunt LS because there's actually people in the server that see passed the mindless drone thinking of people on Odin who can't even bother to go find A ranks/S ranks for themselves and want to point fingers when they miss them. First it was Mi6 and now it's us.

On top of that they also troll all the s rank and a rank report sites to hide spawn times so they can try prevent players from killing them.

There is a literal FC with the slogan "Want a S Rank? Ask for permission" (in bad english) who publicly admit to messing up the trackers + keep track of them on a private google document so that they don't miss an S rank so they can get their Tiger mounts. Their previous FC leader was permanently banned for talking about a hunt program in game (surprise!) but of course I'm not surprised at this servers's circlejerk way of thinking and wants to blame everything on us.

Please don't post such lies if you have no idea what is going on.

Hunts were and are getting instantly pulled by your fc and this is a known fact.Ive had instances when as soon as i found an A rank as long as there was a healer with said person he immediatly attacked the stormblood A rank and tried to fight it duo.
There is no trying to lie about how your fc carries on.It is well known by the entire server of the hunt griefing your fc engage in on a day to day basis.And no a lot of these s ranks arent being spawned by your FC.
Furthermore certain members of your fc try to brag as much as possible over this on the server in shout.
You're well aware of it.There probably isnt a single FC on Odin by this stage that doesnt know your fc by name purely over this.

No offense, but hunts are open world content and designed to be competitive as well. Attacking an open world mob before others isn't griefing. A ranks were designed to be beaten by light parties, S ranks for 8 mans. If they wait for others, thats nice but its not a ToS violation if they don't.

Yea i know the argument.Honestly if you were hunting on Odin you'd understand how its been going down.We are probably the most toxic server for hunts now because of this FC.
There's a difference between pulling early to kill and pulling early to troll other hunters.Their FC is pulling early soley to troll and nothing more.
I doubt the Odin community would be so annoyed over it if the peoples motives werent driven for the purpose of trying to deny as many as possible a kill.

Uhh.. we did spawn S ranks at the START of Stormblood and find a lot of A ranks. You can't say we didn't cause we used to have 8 man parties throwing items in the lochs, I used to teleport to the 3 instances of Azim Steppe and look for the Tribute fate. I stopped caring to hunt because of the needless drama.

There's only one person in our FC who is "instant" pulling hunts to this day, try to prove me wrong. He does it for the legacy salt because he doesn't care what you guys think. I mean, our FC has dozens of membes but the actions of two individuals gets put on the rest of us. If you see me in game, I don't "instant" pull and I'll gladly wait for people. I personally haven't "early" pulled and I can't say I condone it. I missed hunts due to people in my FC "instant" pulling too but I don't get mad over it since it's how the game works.

You're accusing us of using hunt programs and messing up the trackers. Do you have any proof on your claims? I can tell you in game exactly the four individuals that mess up those trackers and none of them are in our FC. They don't want any S rank to spawn while they aren't online yet no one wants to harass them or try to tear them down. We actually spawned Salt and Light 2 weeks ago and these people came and flamed us for doing so when we relayed it to everyone.

It sounds like you need to talk to your FC leader. These people shouldn't still have your tag. They would be out of my FC faster than you could blink if I knew they were doing things to deliberately troll the server *and* blackening my FC's name in the process.

sounds juicy who is it.

Is it all A/S ranks from ARR to SB? Or just SB ones? If it's all and every day I would be flagging a gm about this, I know generally they don't do anything about this sort of thing but if it happens to the point of purposely trying to prevent other players they might step in at that point.
