Please make hunts like leves/treasure maps!

You can not have a competitive open world mob with such a large community. It just doesn't work!

Actually it works just fine, but a competition is high, thus level of organization to be successful also required to be high.

Hunts working like Leve's was how I thought it worked in the first place LOl.

We already have leves and maps that works this way, why create another shape of the same thing? Hunts as they are now create diversity, thus game cater to more people than just "solo/party gamers in open world".

what is bothering with the hunt like this, it's you can't decide when you play with your friend, since you wait for the spawn.
if it was by leves type system, it will be possible to play whenever you want with your friend or other!

You know, you can hunt with friend? And it's not that it is mandatory activity, or you can't take a breaks from it.
I hunt with friends for 3 hours, then go to coil with my static, then do some dungeon runs and crafting. And I am already at 4 sands and succubus. Just don't be so addicted to it and know how to say "stop" and take a break from camping.

If someone shoots early does the whole flash mob of hunters get into heated arguments over who pulled first?

Those who pulls usually just teleport away as soon as mob dies, so people that bicker just do it for their liking only.

No. It doesn't work fine because those who don't cheat are cheated out of this content. I don't have a Radar so the only one I've gotten to in time (only partial since no one would invite me) because I was near when it popped.


And no, it's not instanced. It's still open world. Leves and Treasure Maps are open world content.

Radar doesn't allow you to teleport faster.
You always late because you are solo, you got information too slow and most probably you were not in hurry to get to mark. This has nothing to do with radar app.
Of those 20-30-50 man trains that rush to a newly found mark at most 1-2 parties have a person who found mark (and it doesn't always via radar app), the guilt of rest is only that they can get such information in less than 10 second and then teleport to destination in less than 2 second.

I dont cheat and I've gotten 3 sands and 2 oils to flesh out the gear on my "main alt" (I play all the classes), DoW chest and arm maelstrom gear, and DoM chest piece. Furthermore I have enough seals to get 2 more sands atm plus another log i got as a lucky drop on an A. I am not cheated out of the content. Anecdotal evidence is anecdotal.

If you are suggesting that using a Radar app doesn't give you an advantage, then there's no further discussion to be had. That's just willful ignorance.

Anecdotal evidence is anecdotal.

First off, it's not evidence, it's an opinion so by nature is anecdotal. Your statement is also anecdotal so I don't know if you don't cheat and there's no proof one way or another. You can be telling the truth or you could not. But even so, the idea that you can do it therefore it's fine is a fallacy. Furthermore there are several ways you can get more information by being well connected. I stick to my FC for my own personal reasons so I'm not well connected on my server. I'm at a disadvantage for that. I'm also disadvantaged because I don't cheat. This makes me feel like the content is unfair and the threads popping up all over this forum about this system should send you a clear message that other people are unhappy with this content.

People have gone nuts with the current system. We can't even do treasure maps without being harassed because we pulled a mob without inviting or waiting. It seems that many people don't know the difference between NMs and treasure mobs. We actually got yelled at last night over a novus map mob because we didn't invite a guy to our party. Because of the current system it is very hard to get anything else done. Every time you start working on something, you have to stop because someone spotted naul.. So yeah, please give us a way to control when we do hunts, and who we do them with.
For example: Pick up the leve, then you have 1 hour to figure out which zone, find the nm, and kill it. No red/green circles. It could be any zone... This would make your group work together to cover all the zones. Make the rewards for success worth it.
Thanks

Turns out if you get a boss fate and hide the tether radius and location from the map you can trick people into thinking they're not doing the same thing.
