Dear Hunt Community (Regarding S Ranks)

[Jojoya]

I definitely do not agree. It's cross world hunts for a reason. Long ago it was not. So it's intended for the hunts to be shared among the community.

It's cross world hunts so friends from different worlds can do the content together and get credit, not so everyone can swarm the one world with an active S rank.

If 150 players are already there when someone pulls at 3 minutes after the spawn, it's hard for anyone to argue that there wasn't enough time to arrive. Otherwise 150 players wouldn't have been present. There would have been the spawners and a handful of others at best (see Leucrotta spawning in Gamma).

As JacobNewBlood said, not every player online is intended to make it to every spawn and that's okay. It's especially true when the spawn is on a different world.

I still feel the best way to fix the system is to remove the end game tomestones as rewards. Let the hunt go back to being content for hunters and let those who are just after easy quick tomestones go back to doing roulettes and other content to earn the tomestones. You'll see a drastic difference in how quickly things die.

Wouldn't all these suggestions also mean that players can't solo S-Ranks and A-Ranks in older expansions anymore?

At least one and probably more of the current expansion S ranks have been solo'd on Materia already. Current expansion A ranks have usually all been solo'd within the first month of release. HP is not an issue, especially if you're playing something like Warrior.

Any hunt can be solo'd as long as there's no mechanic that requires the presence of a second player or no way found to cheese such a mechanic. Nariphon immediately comes to mind as one that shouldn't be capable of being solo'd but has been thanks to some hunters coming up with "creative use of game mechanics" when it spawns in certain locations.
