I'm hoping this suggestion i'm going to throw up will get some traction. I would think it would be very easy to code these elite marks so that when they spawn they are immune to damage for a set amount of time.

I think this would solve all the anguish players are having with hunts, because then word of mouth would go out, but people would actually have time to get to the elite mark.

My suggestions:

B rank - Immune for 5 minutes after spawning
A rank - Immune for 7 minutes after spawning
S rank - Immune for 10 minutes after spawning

Let me know what you guys think and maybe a Dev will read this and pass it along to the programmers.
