Enough with 'Hunt trains'

[Bonbori]

I love trains. It was my favourite thing to do on Mateus until recently. Now that I no longer need mythic logs to buy Scaevan gear upgrades, I'm taking a break, but I'm hoping to get back to hunting once the community figures out the Shadowbringers marks.

The hunt community is not your enemy. It's, at least on Crystal, highly organised, efficient, friendly and inclusive. All they ask is that you place the collective benefit over your own ego.

I know a couple of people who fly around the map all day just scouting, reporting and organising trains. Why do you think that is? I'm not entirely sure myself but I think they just... enjoy the hunt and want to share it with as many people as possible? Even if most of those people will never show their appreciation, or even realise how much work goes into setting up trains.
With all their intel access, experience and know-how, those same handful of hunt leaders could very easily be monopolising hunt marks and denying them to 99% of the players all day every day. But instead, they're doing the exact opposite - they're making hunts incredibly accessible and convenient to hundreds of people across many servers and timezones. I really cannot imagine any good reason why someone would want to oppose and try to disrupt something so positive and constructive that the community has built for itself.

As one of those people this sums it up. Couldn't have said it better myself. We even call out ARR and SB hunts - which we could easy solo.

This right here is the reason I love the trains. I'm in a LS that does most of the scouting (For A ranks anyways) on the server (Both trains and single callouts for at least HW). Its true that we could monopolize it for one LS and just kill it for our people, but that isn't fun or the right thing to do. I like going out and scouting the hunts, and I just want to make sure they get killed and reported so others can have access to them. The people I see arguing against this type of thing often start with very selfish arguments, "First come, first serve," "Its right there and I found it so I can kill it." I just don't get that. Everyone gets more in this case if its shared, and less if its not.

Its like people arguing for a worse way of doing things.
