    It's gotten to a point where it's almost detrimental to be trying to actively spawn hunts because they're liable to be instantly detected by someone using a third party app and swarmed in less then a minute, whereas if you're just camping out by the aetheryte you can just follow the crowd to ensure you don't miss out.

    Even the Endwalker S ranks are getting deleted from existence in the span of around two minutes after a pull due to how insanely high the player counts are right now.

    There needs to be a change, and I think giving the S ranks a window of time where they cannot be interacted with after spawning would be perfectly reasonable; at very least enough time for anyone who is actually present in the zone to group up at the spawn. For the older hunts adding some kind of damage-mitigation buff that caps damage at a level appropriate to their level range would also be good so that on-level players have a fair chance of participating.

    Virtually everyone who parrots that the system is okay in its current state doesn't actively involve themselves with spawning/locating hunts to know how absurdly frustrating it is grind out a S rank's spawn condition then not get full credit for it if not miss out completely because a horde of app-using "hunters" camping by an aetheryte flooded in and erased the thing from existence.
