    The poster's idea would ruin an already abused system even further.

    As it stands, this is what makes a hunt...a hunt.
    It was never intended for players to know the exact time of death server wide. But the hive-mind has made it so whenever one dies without it being common knowledge, that is the anomaly. Weird.

    Hunts are supposed to have a little mystery surrounding them. This tightly scheduled zergfest is in no way what SE even remotely intended.
    They're not about to exacerbate it with a big glowing red easy button.

    That said: Maybe something along the lines of the Hunter-Scholar offering hints as to "his progress" in tracking the marks.
    IE, the one in Moraby: "Blah blah blah Croakadile... But I can't recall a sighting in a good while." or "Blah blah...Croakadile...It was only recently it was driven off by adventurers."

    But that Hunter-Scholar idea, though... that could work. Just never ever let them say anything that explicitly suggests "the window is open right now, come in force!" Just say that it was driven off a long time ago. It would really only benefit S Rank hunters, as the others die a little too quickly to warrant going through this much effort to talk to someone to check what the scholar says. Thus, the balance wouldn't be destroyed too much

    Never a mind was changed on an internet board, no matter how good your arguments are...

    I was just being honest about how I felt it would encourage abuse.

    I did offer an alternative I think might be viable and provide the same type of functionality the OP wants without it being anything game breaking.
