Another of these threads started by someone sitting around waiting for other ppl to report hunts then getting salty because an S rank got killed before they could hop worlds then teleport to the zone then run to the coordinates?

These things are not world bosses that an entire server is supposed to work together to take down. They're essentially just the game's equivalent of FFXI's HNM's. The rare spawns that were strong enough to require a party/alliance to kill.

As for the whole comparison to things like FFXI's Kirin. The part that seems to be forgotten is that to spawn Kirin you needed the 4 seals which were obtained by killing Suzaku, Genbu, Seiryu, Byakko which themselves were HNMs that required items from other NM's in the zone in order to spawn. Those NM's mostly respawned on their own timers. NA linkshells on that content often seemed to attempt to preemptively claim these NM's before they even spawned claiming that putting their name on some 3rd party fan site gave them ownership after I killed these things solo.

IMO this whole giant hunt train thing ppl are doing now is more disruptive to hunts than helpful as some of these apparently end up larger than the zone population capacity and turn things into another version of trying to enter a zone for a superfate the first couple weeks after an expansion dropped.
