Please consider revising the Hunt system and / or buffing Elite Marks

The thing that's making me hate the current hunting situation more then anything else is the sheer number of people using the hunt sniffer program.

They instantly relay the S ranks to everyone else using the thing (Or even just looking at certain hunt trackers that are linked to it) if they happen to be in zone when something spawns, which constantly turns things into a mad scramble to get to them before they get melted once someone pulls them.

I've legitimately had difficulty making it to a hunt before it was killed even when I was already in zone trying to spawn because of them.

Some of those may be shutting down soon.

SE should say they're looking into allowing only one or two parties to get credit from a hunt. It would put a stop to the entitlement real quick.

You may think whatever you wish of my intentions, but I think you're quite offbase in assuming SE has any desire to restrict hunt credit to smaller groups to adhere to their initial nature of design.

I'd wager it's simply a matter of resources - current expansion hunts are fine, but SE doesn't want assign time and manpower to adjust old content if they don't have to.
If enough people voice requests for changes, they may opt to do so.

What if they made it with all hunts that they have a buff. The first party to attack it are able to damage it (getting a debuff that allows them to bypass the hunt mob's 1HKO reflect buff). Anyone that attacks it after or heals/buffs anyone with the debuff gets a 1HKO applied to them. Which also completely breaks every piece of gear in their equipped slot, armory chest, inventory, saddlebag, and retainers (oof, imagine the repair costs of all THAT). There ya go, problem solved. Taking your idea and dialling it up a few notches (since with your system, people could still help kill, but wouldn't get credit, if a buff/debuff was killing them for trying to help, it'd make the hunts take longer to kill AND would also stop them trying to do it)

You thought early pulling is bad, wait till you see lightspeed pullers after this lol.
