"adjustments related to elite marks"

[Davorok]

Damn man, "4-8 of us" means JUST YOUR PARTY. You aren't /shouting? You aren't notifying a hunt LS or FC?

Actually I am usually out doing other content (Daily Hunts/ Beast Tribe Quests / Gathering / Treasure Maps, etc. and if I happen to come across a Hunt NM I will /Yell the <t> & <pos> and a {Please Assist}. If it is a B rank as soon as 3-4 peeps show up I will pull it. If it is an A rank I will wait for 7-8 peeps to show up., but sometimes someone else will pull it as soon as they arrive. Sometimes we form a party but most of the time we don't.

When you're there with a party when the mob is pulled it's SO EASY to get full credit, so why not wait 3 minutes until others can arrive?

Because if we wait for "The Horde" there is a good chance that we end up getting fewer rewards and it doesn't register as a Completion for the Weekly Mark.

If 100 people are scouring open areas for 10 minutes for their A Ranks and "4-8" people (one party) pull the mob, they're not simply "enjoying the content as it was meant to be played". They're selfish and they deserve every verbal barb they receive.

Q: Will there be various difficulty levels?

A: Yes. Just as I explained before, the ranks will not only show the strength of the marks, but also the difficulty of their spawning conditions. There will be a variety of enemies that you can solo with item level 90 gear, enemies you can defeat that require the aid of a companion, and enemies that will require a party to defeat. If you come across one of these more difficult marks, we hope you'll make use of the party finder or shout to enlist a few able-bodied adventurers to help.

The following adjustments have been made to “The Hunt”:
Elite marks maximum HP has been increased.
Rank B maximum HP has been raised from solo to light party level, Rank A maximum HP has been raised from light party to full party level.
Although the Rank S maximum HP level was already intended for multiple parties, we have further raised the necessary number to require even more parties.

The thing is, when you do things like that you're sowing distrust. Do you know what happens next? Others will say "Nobody waits for me, so when I find a mob I'm not shouting. I'll just tell my party." Then you miss out on far more seals than you got for the selfish ninja-kill.

I don't expect anyone to wait for me or to even notify me that they are fighting an NM. I am not worried about "missing out on seals" because I am not spending my time constantly hunting NM's. I only need 1 Rank B Elite per week to complete my Mark Bill and any other Elites I come across are just a bonus that is much more fun to fight in a 4-8 man group than to zerg down in 10 seconds with 50-100 people.

Plus there are plenty of other things that I enjoy doing...
