Can we discuss how abusive the GM department is when it comes to 'Grief Tactics'? A

Sure. We just won't invite others to the hunts we put the effort into spawning any more. Then we won't ever have to deal with all the entitled whining from others. o7

Pretty much. The GM stance has long been made; If she desires to share the S/A-ranks with the community then its perfectly fine to wait and help as many people as possible. Just have her turn off shout chat and focus on getting credit the instant someone pulls and don't attempt to reset it. All she can do.

Something that would have never spawned if not for the efforts of a select few.

Still doesn't mean she or you own it. They'd have programmed it to be aggro locked to your party if that was the case. Open world mobs are free-for-all due to how they're coded.

That is true, but I imagine people will complain if the people actively hunting stop reporting them to the wider community which is all things like this are going to do.

Probably. I just find it amusing when people think they own a hunt they spawn when the very design and how they're coded is an antithesis of that line of thought. It's fine to wait and help the community; but not all others share that sentiment, and you will encounter people that want to pull super fast so the best course of action is to simply help as many people as possible and let the quick puller be the target for people's ire and shrug it off when not as many people as you hoped managed to get credit; there'll always be more A-/S ranks to give to the community if you want.

This has been the stance for 4 years. It hasn't changed anything, except there's less people resetting them.
