General "how to fix the hunts" thread

Make them like FFXI hunts

Go play FFXI if you want FFXI features. I don't see an issue with The Hunt in terms of what has been implemented. What I do see an issue with is half the server expecting people to wait 5-10+ minutes for them to make their way across Eorzea to get 1 attack in, next to zero contribution for everyone involved, and walk away complaining the rewards aren't enough. Either way, that person will not be happy because if you start to early, they and a bunch of other players start getting aggressive and hurling abuse. Or, they just complain that the marks don't have enough HP or they are too easy.



Here are but two incidents where just because whomever pulled didn't wait for the 100th+ person to arrive, abuse and aggression starts (sorry for the large images, not quite sure how to put them into them spoiler drop downs).

Yes, it could seem like another one of those "Ah! The community is so toxic!" Sort of rants but to be honest...I don't really much care what others think or /shout to me but this is pretty abysmal. If I am near a mark, I will wait within reason. I am not waiting for a garrison though. If anyone could please tell me why I should wait long enough for so many people to come along that it ruins my reward, please feel free. As far as I see it, if I am there, I deserve as much as anyone else. So should anyone come to say "because it's the right thing to do!", then why don't they just let me have it? Or the adventurer beside me? People cry out "selfish" to whomever pulls because they didn't get the reward. It's all about them and their reward.

*These aren't colour coded by player. The red ones I have seen as more hostile, blue is more casual discussion/talks about hunts and white is just more general chat.
