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

What kind of rude, inconsiderate and downright selfish player would pull a hunt early..? smh

There's no such thing as an early pull. It has been what, 5 years now? And people still don't understand this. No matter how long it sits there untouched, someone somewhere is going to be late. I side with the crowd who supports waiting on as many people as possible, for the record. But when a hunt is spawned, it is fair game. Sometimes it gets pulled sooner as opposed to later, and vice versa. If people can't get there in 2-3 minutes at most I would consider them late to the party. But I'm also fine with waiting longer as long as everyone else is sitting on their hands. Once it's pulled though there's no going back.

There's a new trend that I approve of where people will tag the s rank and then either auto-attack or do nothing. If you're in a party, that's often all it takes to get full credit. This applies mostly to ARR hunts but it's been effective so far. A couple of GCD withheld across a dozen or so high-geared hunters means about as many people more managed to get there and at least tag it. At the very least it's a tick on the achievement, and if they were in a party, it's seals and tomes, too.

I do something similar with ARR hunts, though I don't use auto attacks. I will typically start the first few moves of my rotation, then let it be.
