this is getting Ridiculous

While we are on the topic of resetting, two guys on Ultros spent like 5 minutes resetting Maahes just to screw with everyone. Never been so pissed off before. Also it skews everyones rewards.

Did you report them? Griefing is griefing, Thats like when players would kite NMs to keep others from claiming. Make a GM call and usually a GM would show up tell them kill it or let other group take. I had heard of GMs making one of the NMs tail flail the kiters before.

If you guys are having trouble getting full credit in a full party, your party doesn't have enough WHMs. I hunt almost exclusively as a WHM and it's so darn easy to get max credit just by spamming Medica a few times, even if I can't see the mob.

...and this is why it is a broken system that needs to be fixed.

I've noticed a trend on Odin this weekend, and that is the Linkshells being rather silent. People got fed up with all the ninja pullers, and a particular FC too...and now keep the marks they find for their group and FC. It has had the effect of making the Hunts more like they were supposed to be, with people actively hunting instead of hordes of people just standing around waiting for the next LS announcement/shout.

The Excalibur Teamspeak Network is actually a pretty good example of how the zerg mindset dilutes and destroys hunting as an enjoyable activity. You basically need to go in there to have even a fair stab at hunting credit, since they have have such a comprehensive database of windows that they catch everything the second it enters spawn window unless one of the local SA goon guilds hijacks something first. And if someone can't use TS or doesn't want to get on voice chat you're SOL. Public groups have even begun kicking people for not being able or willing to get on the hunt TS.

It's also not 'public' - it's a privately managed space for three hunting linkshells. People are allowed in as a courtesy, there, not a public service.

Try to do hunts with the intended number of people on our server? Chances are you'll get blacklisted for not sharing partial credit with our max-pop server and its 600 other people, and never see a mark again in your life.

Also XIVSoul is bad and gives unreliable numbers due to its gathering algorithm.

Addendum:

The mobs are for everyone you sound selfish.

The mobs are for up to 4, 8, and 24 people depending on rank. That 60 or more can claim credit on them is a design error, not something you should be allowed to take for granted.

Am I the only one who read the OP complaining and thought that the person that manged to grab it and reset is a hero? Good job, guy that managed to reset the Mark. Many hunters appreciate your valiant efforts.

On the same token. Shame on you, OP!

please explain to me how i am in the wrong? how it is fair for them to steal the monster reset it and me and my grp who found it waited for people to join even notified ppl that it was up, gets it stolen and we only get 2 out of the 20 seals we should of gotten tell me how is that fair and we are inthewrong

[Zephyranthes]

If you're the first one that found it and somebody resets the mark, you can report them. Most of the time, resetting is not an issue but if the spotter doesn't get full credit due to it, it can fall under abuse / harassment.

I'm not even sure I'm inclined to believe the claim here. You're sayin that after dealing roughly half of the monster's health, someone was STILL able to swoop in and steal aggro? Do you just have the most incompetent tank on the server or something? That'd be like me losing aggro on Leviathan's tail partway through the fight to the healers' Medica II spams or something. And before you say "provoked!" Elite Marks are immune to provoke, I have tested this personally.
