A reccuring issue with Hunts.

[samurailargo]

As with all things there are great things and bad things. With the implement of patch 2.3 I have enjoyed the story, the new frontlines, and the added bonus new dungeons and rewards. All are great, but as with most of the community(not all) there is a issue with Hunts, or Notorious Monsters as its is commonly called. And that is the monopolization of hunting. Not saying it happens all the time, but there is a quite often occurrence that some groups will go out of there way to steal hunts and yell at those to the point of blacklisting. its come to the points its not fun unless you keep quite and say nothing about a hunt and hope your friends show up before the blockade of people wanting to tear the hunt to shreds.

Im aware this may die down in a few weeks once the hardcore individuals get their fill but its not fun when friends become foes over night when something like this is implemented. (most of us see where SE was going with hunts and a good idea but its a murder house atm)

Edit: added some ideas in first relpy

to add

As with most people there are some suggestions that may improve this so the fighting will stop or at least die down, and ill put common ideas that most people have asked as well as my own.

1. More HP.
When 1 person takes on a B rank monster sure a challenge, but when 24 people take it on, out in 5 secs.

2. Set it up in a leve quest/ treasure map style.
random elite hunt daily or weekly, everyone gets a chance, and working in groups equals extra rewards. so working together is more strongly rooted. (or at least with B and A rank hunts, S rank open world still as it would need more people to take down.)

3.A mini-quest
A many people loves the idea of a mini-quest following foot prints or clues to find the location of a hunt. Hunts would feel more satisfying to take on and feel like hunts. Given by the hunter-scholor on a weekly-lockout.

I know you guys have a divine plan on how you like to make your game, but this is something people would love to see.
