Hunts: There is no problem with design.

So you're saying that, after I've spent an hour or more scouring areas to find a mark, I should wait on strangers who were doing something completely different to drop everything and saunter on over so that they can get some free stuff, at my own expense? No; the hunt should reward hunters, not the scavengers that follow in their wake.

Yeah umm.. of course you do not have to wait for random people. Just other hunters. :/ Since not all hunters are in the same zone, I assume. That's what hunt linkshells have been made for. To share information.

There's a lot of overlap between the hunting linkshells, so if a mark is called in one it'll be called in others, as well as in the FC's of everyone in them. That's what brings the crowds running. Not to mention that a lot of people in the hunting LS's only joined to be alerted to a call, so they could sit back and reap the rewards without doing anything. Sharing marks should only really be done within your party. And if someone in the party blabs to their FC, which leaks it to the LS's... well, each party needs to be responsible for it's own members.

Honestly, the hunting LS's should only be used to form parties and co-ordinate efforts to spawn S-ranks.
