It's both. Last night at about 3:00 AM I was fishing and an "Elite" (1M% not elite) spawned right behind me. I switched to Paladin and waited for my cool downs to reset. By the time I was able to engage the monster nobody, literally nobody was within view. I waited. About 10 seconds later 50 players came running to my position. The shout was "Pull @ :21" and it was :05. By :21 there were no less than 100 players around the "Elite" and we actually didn't pull. It wasn't until :28 that a Warrior kicked off the fight. The "Elite" (not elite at all) died in about 5 seconds and the shout war began.

First, Square Enix has designed a TERRIBLE system. These hunts are pathetic. Second, the players are using third party software which locks out every other player who doesn't use the third party software. Combine that with the attitudes of entitled 12 year olds and elitist douchebaggery, and you have a pile of TRASH...
