Suggestion for GMs: play the game.

So what exactly was the complaint? "Early" pulling, or something like that?

Somehow I doubt it was "the GM doesn't understand the situation" so much as "How do I get to the next ticket quickly while gently explaining no rules were broken."

The complaint was that botting from the offenders caused them to locate and destroy the mark before those that actually worked to spawn it had a chance to get to it, thus causing a disruption in gameplay. When the GM assumed "they sat there and let it die," I think it was pretty clear that they either did not understand the time it takes to travel from one end of the map to the other, or grossly underestimated the time in which Level 70's can dispatch an S Rank.

Before you pass judgement, I would suggest you come onto Behemoth and try your hand at Hunting. I, too, was skeptical before I actually came here.

I used to hunt on Balmung. Doesn't get much more cutthroat than the top population server. I've found the key is simply to ensure you're in hunt LSs that pass information quickly, as being even a few seconds behind can mean you won't get there and no credit.

Anyways, back to the main topic.... From what I've heard, even if the system's latency-hiding does allow for teleport-hacks, GMs can still see teleports in the server logs. So if you tell them they're teleporting and probably the exact time, they should be able to see that and take action. Not to mention flag them for monitoring to catch them teleporting next time.

Basically, I suggest taking the focus off of hunts, and putting it on the specific illegal action they were doing.

Thank you for the advice, but I don't think you've read the posts. We were the two parties that were working to spawn it.

I read your post; I think my advice still applies. Report the specific illegal action.

i.e., killing a mob first is not illegal (in terms of the TOS). Working to spawn it doesn't give you claim to it. Using teleport hacks (so they don't have to travel the distance you do), however, is illegal. Regardless of it it's in relation to hunts or anything else. That's what you have to report for action to be taken.
